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 specifed resources. To do so, move near the terminal (the PC-shaped booth inside the HUB), interact with it with E, then SHIFT + LMB 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. Some of the milestones are unlocked through research.

• The below milestones are not necessary ordered as you will see in your session. The ordering of milestones within the same tier is dependent on the sequence of your M.A.M. research.
• Once you have submitted the material to the HUB terminal, you could not take it 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.
