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 E with it, then Ctrl+
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. Completing Tier 0 unlocks Tiers 1 and 2, and completing phases of the Space Elevator unlocks higher tiers.
- Once you have submitted the material to the HUB terminal, you cannot take it back.

Tier 0[edit | edit source]
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.
