Abyss Guide

Overview

The Abyss is the primary staging ground for your Biocraft army. Here, you explore the infinite Delve for resources, compete against other Empires in the Arena PvP Battles, and challenge Dark Depths bosses for rewards.

How to Access

- Go to Explore → The Abyss.

- Shortcut: Click the Artifacts icon at the top of the Main Interface for direct access.

Delve

The Delve is an infinite map where you clear tiles to gather resources and gain experience.

- Starting Zone: All players begin with the same initial layout, ensuring at least 5 Artifacts deposits are visible.

- Unique Maps: Beyond the starting zone, every player's Delve map is unique, including their Regional Empires.

- Movement: Click a tile to move.

• Uncleared Tiles: Entering these requires a battle and costs Robotic Access Keys and Artifacts.

• Cleared Tiles: Once cleared, you can move through them freely at no cost.

• Obstructions: Smash rocks using Energy. Unbreakable walls cannot be destroyed, you must move sideways to bypass them.

- Rewards: Tiles may drop Genes, A.R.C, Robot Part, Ship Components, Energy, and Artifacts.

- Events: The Echoes from Beneath event may trigger randomly while exploring.

Structures

Capturing specific tiles will automatically construct structures:

- Void Hole: Builds a Reactor that powers nearby tiles in a Large Cross Area.

- Worker’s Hideouts: Built on powered tiles. Each hideout provides 1 Worker.

- Artifact Drillers: Built on Artifact Deposits. These require Workers to produce Artifacts.

- Teleporters: You can build up to 10 Teleporters for instant travel. These can be destroyed and relocated as needed.

Workers & Efficiency

Workers are essential for operating Artifact Drillers. You can check your total workforce (excluding workers from Hideouts) in the Resource Stats.

- Base Workforce: You start with 5 free workers.

- Increasing Workforce: Build Worker's Hideouts, own specific Assets or join a Clan for bonuses.

- Assets Bonuses:

• Each Hoverbot= +1 worker.

• Each Burrowbyte= +5 workers.

- Driller Boosters: Assign these to a Driller for production bonuses.

• Burrowbyte: 2x Boost.

• Epic Scientist: 5x Boost (Requires +2 workers).

• Legendary Scientist: 10x Boost (Requires +4 workers).

• Limited Scientist: 20x Boost (Requires +6 workers).

Note: If you do not have enough workers, Driller efficiency will drop, reducing your yield.

Combat & Recovery

Combat

- Deployment: You must select a minimum of 5 Biocrafts to enter a battle.

- Persistence: Your Biocrafts' HP is saved after every battle. However, if you lose, the enemy’s HP resets to 100%.

- Area Degen: Starting at Round 6, both you and the enemy take increasing Fixed Damage each round. Healers take 75% less damage from area degen.

- Experience (XP): Only surviving Biocrafts in your lineup gain XP from clearing tiles.

- Dead Biocrafts must be removed, replaced or respawned.

Healing & Respawn

- Passive Healing: Injured Biocrafts heal 3% of their Max HP every hour.

- Medibot Healing: Each Medibot you own heals your Biocrafts by 1 HP every 5 seconds.

- Manual Healing: Spend Artifacts to heal a Biocraft instantly. The cost depends on the amount of missing HP.

- Respawn: Dead Biocrafts automatically respawn at 16:00 UTC with 1 HP.

- Revival: Spend Nature Genes to revive units instantly. The cost increases with the Biocraft's rarity.

Note: Complete a Smuggling task for Necrotech will fully heal and revive all of your Biocrafts.
