WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Upgrades screen and Mineral Market on the main menu
Use the between-dive upgrade screen to convert collected minerals and Credits into permanent account improvements. Choose an upgrade with your next mission in mind: a stat that helps you survive or complete a current objective is more useful than spending without a plan. The Mineral Market offers another way to handle resource balances, but selling a mineral can delay an upgrade that needs it. These purchases affect ongoing progression, unlike temporary choices inside a dive.
Have enough of the required minerals or Credits for an available upgrade.
Know which mission or campaign goal you plan to tackle next.
Return to the main menu after completing a dive.
Open the permanent upgrades screen and review available options.
Compare each upgrade’s cost with your current mineral and Credit balances.
Select an improvement that supports the next mission or current weakness.
Confirm the purchase and check that the resource balance changed as expected.
If short on Credits, review the Mineral Market and decide whether selling material is worth delaying a mineral upgrade.
Choose the next dive based on the improvement you purchased.
Farming tips
Permanent upgrades are funded by dive resources, so finishing missions supports future purchases.
Avoid selling a mineral you are saving for a known upgrade unless Credits are the more urgent need.
Repeat, collect and use
This is a repeatable spending loop while upgrades remain available and affordable. Individual upgrade purchases are limited by their own costs and progression state.
Common mistakes
Buying without checking the next objective: select an improvement that helps a real upcoming run.
Selling minerals blindly: compare the tradeoff against upgrade costs first.
Expecting a purchase to improve the dive already completed: account upgrades support later dives.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the next useful upgrade is unaffordable or the available choices do not support your goal; run another dive to collect what is missing.
