Upgrades

Upgrades are a feature in Space Colony: Idle, allows you to spend money or diamonds to upgrade some quality related to anything on the planet such as your Logistics warehouse, your colonies, your space rocket capacity, your mineral head earnings...

Most upgrade options offer multiple levels, each more expensive than the previous one. An upgrade that doubles the mine value from Level 1 plus an upgrade that doubles the mine value from Tier 2 will quadruple the mine value.

Each upgrade offers different benefits as no upgrade in a layer does the same thing.

You have two different upgrade options in the upgrade center: Basic Upgrades and Advanced Upgrades.

Basic Upgrades provide you with faster access to what you need to increase your colony value to travel to the next planet and can be purchased with Astrocoins, which you earn with your mineral value. Basic Upgrades are reset when your colony researches sufficient value and you move on to the next planet and also when you travel in time.

Advanced Upgrades, on the other hand, provide you with faster access to what you need to increase your colony value, just like Basic Upgrades, but the difference is that they can be purchased with diamonds. Also, Advanced Upgrades do not reset when you move to a new planet or travel in time.
