Who says you need a forge for upgrades? #CRPL #Spores #Digitalis #Runners #TechLimits

Oh, I bet you waited for #1000 this whole time. At least it wasn't another horrible achievement map.

[Karsten75]

Congratulations on achieving the 1,000th upload to Colonial Space. :)

Why are there Aether packets scattered around if there's no forge?
I guess I'll have to play to find out.

Is there a way to hide the "Tech Points" green panel in the top-left of the screen? It is obscuring the game.

Click the top part where it shows the number of tech points you have, it will hide the main part of the panel.

The upgrades that allow you to use more of a unit don't seem to work...

It does work for the Cannons, it doesn't work for Mortars, and i have no idea about snipers (they aren't a priority for me)

Spoiler

You can get most/all of the Tech Points by using guppies, 4 trips with one guppy is enough for every tech point (15 packets before the guppy gets to 5% hp)*4=60

Btw, how do i make sure that the field on the mortars works?

There should be a shield image around landed mortars.

Not sure what's going on with the mortar build limit upgrade. It works for me, anyway... is your game updated to the newest version? That's all I can think of.

The mortar limit upgrade worked for me. It was the first one I used. I love the shield upgrade around the mortar.

This is an awesome map. Definitely worthy to be map #1,000. I dread to think what my final time is going to be once I finally finish the map. It's definitely going to get a second play from me.

I'm up to 5 Tech Points and still no upgrades on any unit.
Trying to limp by with the ridiculous number of units allowed.
Not doing much on the old fun meter.

Just to clarify - are you intentionally not getting any upgrades, or have you bought some upgrades and they're not working?

Thanks for responding.

Lord help me!
Not limping along on purpose.
How do I 'buy' an upgrade?

[Loren Pechtel]

Interesting idea.  Too much of a slog, though.  The best time is over 2 hours.

Each of the pictures in the grid at the top left is an upgrade. At first only the top row is available. Left click on one to buy it and unlock the upgrade below it. (if you hid the panel before, just click it again to re-show it.)
