Sixty Four Guides

In this article we combined useful tips for the progression and tried to keep it spoiler-free. Select the area you are in and open a hidden content to see all the tips to help you progress.

If you just started the game:

• Just click and hold the machine, break the cubes.
• Follow the dialogue to get the hints on whats happening and what to do next.
• If you went exploring and lost your way to the base you can save the game and load it. It will respawn you in the center of the map. Moreover, if you move too far away cursor will change to an arrow pointing towards the center.

~ 500m deep

Tips and Tricks for 500+ Extractor Depth

• Invest into Converter Machines and additional channels.
• One Entropy Resonator hits all the adjacent blocks at the same time.

~ 1 km

Tips and Tricks for 1000m+ Extractor Depth

• Hell Gem spawns randomly in the cubes at certain depths. Cubes become a lot harder to mine when there's a hell gem in it.
• Hell Gem Destabilizers + Hell Gem Injectors = speed.
  

Hell Gem Injectors generates 32 Hell Gems while consuming 32 Hell Gems. The point here is that Hell Gem Destabilizer boosts cube-mining by 625x but it requires a Hell Gem in it. So Hell Gem Injector are supposed to be paired with Hell Gem Destabilizer to speed up mining process. They don't actually consume Hell Gem though.

• Different Stones are at the different mining depth.
• You can remove and place Extracting Channel to reset the depth and mine lower tier stones

~ 6 km

Tips and Tricks for 6000m+ Extractor Depth

• As you may have noticed, Chromalit disappear themselves. However they don't disappear for nothing but decay into lower tier resources. At the beginning of this stage you want to build some Containment Vessels to keep a small amount of Chromalit for use, however later on Chromalit Decay becomes the main source of Elmerine and Qanetite.
• Check out new Resonators.
• It's good to have several Channels on different depths.
• Optimize your build for faster block breaking

~ 17 km

Tips and Tricks for 17000m+ Extractor Depth

• Build Hollow Rock Research Site on the Hollow Rock when you unlock it. The strange rock locates at the north of your original position, from where long pressing W for ~10 secs will get you there.
• Build Hollow Rock Research Site and Celestial Irradiator ASAP. If your Chromalit level already dropped below 512, you could sell some stuff to afford Celestial Irradiator.
• After you built the Hollow Rock Research Site, Hollow Stones start to spawn around it. The first Hollow Stone requires a LOT of clicks to collect. Afaik most people get stuck here without being told to keep clicking it.
• Start collecting Hollow Stones around the research site. More stones lying around — more severe the Time Warp (you feel that the whole game is being slowed down).
• Build as many Celestial Irradiator as you can. Chromalits are the main source of wealth.
• Build General Decay Reactor. With Chromalit Decay it gives a lot of stuff.
• Keep collecting Hollow Stones until you can afford the Annihilator. Then start collecting Void from it.
• Build the Void Admiration Chancel. Then build a Waypoint and interact with it.

Post-chancel

Tips and Tricks for Post-chancel

• Teleport a lot. You see it when it worked. Then get some Hollow Fruit to automate Hollow Stone.
• You will be teleported to a dark area called The Abyss. This area is a mimic of the previous area, where each machine you built is replaced by a Glyph. Collecting it will reward you with a Reality. Collect 1024 Reality to get back through the Void Admiration Chancel.
• Do not remove your Excavating Channel existing Base Layout completely once you built Void Resonator layout. You might run out of Celestial Foam or resource production speed might be too low for you and you wont have a backup plan.
• Build more Hollow Flower and Hollow Fruit to maximize Reality gains
• Void Admiration Chancel is not your entry point into The Abyss. It will cost 1 Void to get in and 1 Reality to go out. But you will still need 1024 Reality saved up in order to leave.
• Build the The Inverse Chasm in order to fully automate your setup.

Post-chasm

Tips and Tricks for Post-chasm

• From now on, a long time of idling is expected. You'll need to redesign your build to make use of Conductors and Industrial Silos.
  • Note their relatively aggresive cost scaling and plan around minimizing their use.
• Focus on making enough production to afford one or more Gradient Wells as your goal.

Post-gradient

Tips and Tricks for Post-gradient

• A Gradient Well pairwed with a few Void Resonators and Industrial Destabilizers will make channels obsolete - each set produces tens of millions of stones per second.
• Invest into Containment Silos and finish the game!
• Once you have 1 Gradient Well you'll unlock the final item in the shop, "?", which requires 640K Chromalit.
  • Building "?" triggers the end of the game, and as such acquiring the stones to do so is your top priority.
  • Either building more Containment Silos (15+) or recycling some expensive Chromalit cost buildings will allow the purchase of the "building"
    • There is an Achievement for building "?" without doing the actions mentioned above.
