Exotic Skills

Exotic skills are powerful skills that can be acquired with exotic gems.

Power Plant

• Hibernation Mode (50 ) - Boosts stop losing their duration while the game is closed but still affect all buildings during that time as many they would normally do.

Mine

• Mineralogy (5 ) - Provides a 0.05% chance that a mined tile turns into an exotic gem.
• Geology (25 ) - Multiplies shard and resource rewards by your current town level and gem rewards by town level^0.15.
• Battle Drills (10 ) - Triples the speed at which new mining layers are generated while tower testing is active and the drill is working. Works for all non-sandbox gamemodes as long as the tower is alive and the round-over-screen is not visible.

Factory

• Machine Handling (5 ) - Allows you to pick up machines from their machine slot via right click and place them back via left click.
• Chemical Lumps (60 ) - Changes the recipe for ore lumps to only use 4 dust of the previous tier.
• Battle Producers (25 ) - Increases the production of all producers by 1% for each second that passes during an active tower run. Resets upon quitting or restarting. Does not affect exotic producers.

Headquarters

• Trustworthy Trust Fund (20 ) - Reduces the total time it takes to regain all resources after a tier up by 3 hours.

Arcade

• Metallic Tokens (15 ) - Increases your tower's armor and elemental armor by using the metallic properties of your tokens.
• Spiked Tokens (25 ) - Enhances the projectiles of your tower with pointy tokens which in turn increase the total damage output.
• Charged Tokens (50 ) - Charges your tokens and directs them to the tower to increase it's energy and energy regeneration.

Laboratory

• Fundamentals (500 ) - Removes or reduces the negative prestige effects of the fire, water, nature, and earth experiments. Resetting the prestige tree to respend points still preforms a full prestige with all it's downsides.
• Forces (500 ) - Removes or reduces the negative prestige effects of the electricity, darkness, light, and air experiments. Resetting the prestige tree to respend points still preforms a full prestige with all it's downsides.
• Universal Theorem (500 ) - Removes or reduces the negative prestige effects of the neutral, universal, gems, and exotic experiments. Resetting the prestige tree to respend points still preforms a full prestige with all it's downsides.

Shipyard

• Armored Cargo Bay (35 ) - Applies the shipment bonus to exotic gems at a reduced rate of x^0.2 by reinforcing the bulkheads of all ships.

Trading Post

• Bargaining (35 ) - Increases the conversion rate by a additional 10%.
• Hyper Trade (75 ) - Provides a chance equal to your trading amount percentage to perform a hyper trade which multiplies your crate reward between 2 and 10 depending on your trading amount percentage. (Low trading percentage equals higher multiplier. Hyper trade is indicated by falling crates in the background.)
• Experienced Merchant (5 ) - Increases the conversion rate based on your total amount of trades statistic. (Formula: Log10(x)^1.2% where "x" represents your trades. Log10(0) = 1 in this case.)
