Earn Cash, Data, gems, and XP
Know what each resource does and what to do when storage is full.
In this guide
The four game resources
- Cash pays for many purchases, decorations, and upgrades.
- Data is used by equipment, progression, and other game systems. Its icon looks like a disc.
- Gems are a rarer game resource used for special purchases and optional time-saving actions.
- XP is experience. It helps meet the next career level's requirement; it is not $OFFICE and cannot be spent as a token.
Run a deal
- Open Deals and read the available deal's reward and duration.
- Start one you are ready to complete.
- Let its timer run while you work on the room or leave the game.
- Return when it is ready and collect the result.
- Start the next deal when you want the flow of rewards to continue.
The Deals attention icon helps you notice when there is no active deal. It is a reminder to check the panel, not proof that a particular deal is already complete.
Collect from equipment
Production equipment can hold resources until you collect them. The Collect control gathers available resources, subject to the relevant storage capacity.
The top bar shows current / capacity for Cash and Data. If collection stops because storage is full, spend some resources or upgrade the correct storage equipment. A large production buffer is not the same as extra account capacity.
What continues while you are away?
Supported timers and production progress while you are away, within the game's offline limits. Deals that finish can wait for collection. Egg and upgrade timers continue too.
Production is not unlimited while you are absent: machine buffers, account capacity, and offline rules still apply. Check your room when you return and collect or upgrade what is holding you back.
Gems and $OFFICE are different
Ordinary play can earn gems through the game's supported activities and rewards. The Buy gems with $OFFICE button is a separate test-economy purchase flow, not the name of a normal Cash purchase.
Before using any skip or purchase button, read its exact cost. Saving gems for a useful upgrade or extra crew member can be more valuable than spending them on every timer.
