Milestones

Milestones are the primary method of progression in the game, allowing the engineer to unlock new buildings, recipes, equipment, and more. They can be completed at the HUB Terminal by inputting the specified resources. To do so, move near the terminal (the PC-shaped booth inside the HUB), interact with it, then + the required material in your inventory.

Sets of milestones are grouped together into tiers. At the start of a new game session, only Tier 0 is available (unless Onboarding is skipped, which will skip Tier 0 as well). Completing Tier 0 unlocks Tiers 1 and 2, and completing phases of the Space Elevator unlocks higher tiers.

Parts inserted into the HUB Terminal cannot be taken back.

Tier 0
Tier 0 focuses on upgrading the HUB. Unlike milestones in later tiers, these must be completed in sequential order. Each milestone changes the HUB's appearance as well.


 * Note: The two Biomass Burners that are added to the HUB are smaller than the standalone version, each only produces 20 MW instead of 30 MW. They also burn fuel proportionally slower.

Tier 1
Requirements: All Milestones from Tier 0 completed (The HUB is completed) or Onboarding is skipped

Tier 2
Requirements: All Milestones from Tier 0 completed (The HUB is completed) or Onboarding is skipped

Tier 3
Requirements: Space Elevator Phase 1 completed

Tier 4
Requirements: Space Elevator Phase 1 completed

Tier 5
Requirements: Space Elevator Phase 2 completed

Tier 6
Requirements: Space Elevator Phase 2 completed

Tier 7
Requirements: Space Elevator Phase 3 completed

Tier 8
UpcomingUnreleased Requirements: Space Elevator Phase 3 completed

Important note: In an official video by Coffee Stain, it was confirmed that the information listed below (and most likely all related information) comes from very old builds of the game, and was implemented as a prototype. It is, therefore, not representative of what will be found in Update 4 once it is officially implemented.

Tier 9
Unreleased Requirements: Space Elevator Phase 5 completed

Information below is subject to change. Tier 9 is confirmed, although it was not initially planned.

It was confirmed that S.A.M. will likely be a M.A.M. resource, which would result in this milestone being moved there.

Tier 10
Unreleased Requirements: Space Elevator Phase 5 completed

Not much is known about Tier 10, it was only hinted at on stream.
