## Convertor

At Tier 1 and above, you unlock the ability to convert special resources into purple cubes. The conversion factor is 100k orange cubes to 1 purple cube.

4000 red/1000 blue/100 green/4 grey cubes convert to 1 purple cube. Note that the above numbers translate back into 100k orange cubes, so there is no advantage in converting your oranges into any other color.

As with most conversions, ultimate cube conversion is one-way.

## Ultimate Upgrades

At Tier 1 and above, you are allowed the Headquarter upgrades.

Initially, you are allowed to upgrade Special Resources Factor (increases the multiplier of acquired orange cubes), Research Speed Factor (increases the speed in which research progresses at), and Auto-Restart Penalty (decreases the percentage of orange cubes lost during an auto-restart run). At Tier 4, a fourth upgrade is unlocked; Mission Reward Bonus (increases the amount of orange cubes gained from missions).
