Upgradex Points Currency
Points are the foundational run currency in Upgradex—generated by core upgrade tree nodes, spent on branching purchases, and reset when you prestige. Without strong point income, research unlocks and prestige thresholds stall indefinitely. This guide explains point sources, spending strategy, and interactions with research and prestige in Orthogon Studios' RELEASE 1.0 economy.
How to Earn Points
Primary sources: manual generators, click upgrades, automation nodes from automation guide, and multiplier products along main tree trunk. Early early upgrades maximize base rate.
Temporary boosts from events and future codes stack multiplicatively when available—verify tooltips.
Spending Points Efficiently
Follow tier list—income before luxury. Depth in one branch beats scattered purchases per early strategy.
Use priority tool when choosing between equal-looking nodes on tree.
Points and Prestige Resets
Prestiging wipes points to zero but awards prestige points based on run totals—see prestige overview. Permanent multipliers make re-earning faster each loop.
Timing resets via when to prestige maximizes prestige gain without wasting final point accumulation phases.
Reading Point Counters and Tooltips
UI counters show current points and often per-second rates—UI guide locates displays. Node tooltips show costs and effects before purchase on PC or mobile.
Modifiers gamepass (199R$) may alter displayed rates—factor into calculations if owned.
Common Point Mistakes
Hoarding points without buying upgrades slows compounding—spend aggressively on S-tier. Using scripts for fake points risks save deletion.
Ignoring automation while manually clicking caps income—transition to mid-game mindset early.
