Booster Upgrades

**Booster Upgrades** are a game mechanic that is unlocked after performing a Factor Boost. Performing a Factor Boost rewards you with **Boosters**, which are used to purchase upgrades in the Booster Upgrades subtab of the Boosters tab. Booster Upgrades provide boosts which help in day-to-day progression, unlock new Features, provide buffs to Tiers 1 and 2 Automation, as well as providing miscellaneous buffs that are used to provide boosts in Challenges, which already change the game in some way to make it harder.

You unlock more Booster Upgrades when you achieve SM1.

## Upgrade Table

***Notes**:*

* You can't buy Booster Upgrades if you are in Challenge 6, Challenge 7 outside Omega Challenge 1, or Omega Challenge 3
* You can't get any Booster Upgrades if you are in Challenge 8 outside Omega Challenge 1
* The 4th column of Booster Upgrades do not consume any Boosters upon their purchase and persistent over Collapse.
* The 5th and 6th row of Booster Upgrades are unlocked when you achieve the 1 Factor Boost Sluggish Milestone.
* The 1st column of Booster Upgrades cost can be reduced based on your OC3 completion

### Abbreviating Booster Upgrades

In this Wiki, Booster Upgrades are commonly abbreviated. Booster Upgrades are referred to by their coordinate position in the table formatted as

u

c
r

{\displaystyle \mathrm {u} cr}

; for example, the upgrade to unlock Incrementy can be represented as u42, as it exists within the 2nd row of the 4th column.

Otherwise, they can be referred to through their effects; e.g, the Booster Upgrade that unlocks Incrementy, or through their description; e.g, the "Unlock Incrementy" Booster Upgrade.

## Trivia

* u12, u23, u32 and u34 have no effect on gameplay after reaching an Ordinal of **ψ(Ω)**.
* u23 takes precedence over u13. This is because u13 only affects the Base when it would be normally over 7. u23 sets the Base to 5, which is less than 8, which is why it does. Therefore if both are owned, the Base will always be set to 5.
* u14 and u24 were solely designed for Challenges, as they don't provide any benefit during normal gameplay. Along with this, u34, u35, u36 and u13, even though they serve no purpose post-**ψ(Ω)**; not contributing to boosting Tier 2 Automation, they can benefit pre-**ψ(Ω)** in normal gameplay.
* If you get u23 before reaching **ψ(Ω)** normally, it is virtually impossible to reach an Ordinal of **ψ(Ω)**. This is due to the fact that it would require an Ordinal of **ωωωωω** (Base 5), which you simply cannot reach because the `game.ord` variable would reach its limit way before you would theoretically reach **ψ(Ω)**, and that the power of Autoclickers needed to get there are astronomically large.
* u22 is buffed by the current amount of Boosters you own. Boosters that are allocated towards the upgrade will not buff u22 for simple reasons. The overall effect of u22 is also buffed with the 12 Factor Boost Sluggish Milestone.
* u32 is buffed in Challenges 1 and 7 if you have u12.
* u33 is buffed in Challenges 3 and 7, providing more the amount of free Factors obtained from this Booster Upgrade.
* Except for the 1st row of Booster Upgrades other than u41, all costs/requirements are different (4, 5\*, 8, 12, 16, 36, 53\*, 66, 72\*, 73, 74, 108, 324, 8e8, 1e11, 2e19, 1e21) except having 1.0000-1.0857, 1.1920-1.2197, 1.4004-2.1154, 2.2261 or more OC3 completions (\* means it can be reduced by having OC3 completions)
* After you have enough OC3 completion, u12, u13 and u14 cost will say 1 Boosters instead of 1 Booster
* In OC1, it is impossible to get u35 (and therefore u36, since you need a total of ~80,000,000 Omega Challenge completions, so this is not even possible), but in OC5 it may be possible (but very difficult, since it takes 3h but Factor Boosts is only increased by 74, it requires ~40,000 Factor Boosts, taking around 66d 16h, or over 2 months) to get u35, but u36 remains impossible (for now, it will take around 28,860 years).
* In terms of refunding Booster Upgrades, the Hotkey is **R**.

## Glitch

Note: The first one is currently happens in the current version of the game and is currently listed in the Bugs tab. It is highly will be fixed soon. and the second one happen in past version, now it is fixed.

It should be 1 Booster (singular)...It's supposed to be 72 boosters and not 73.
