Automation Hub Mechanics[edit | edit source]
Most Automation Hub submenus are pretty straightforward. You will purchase Automation, and after that every tick you game will try to automatically purchase the specific type of upgrade. If you dont have enough Cells then nothing will happen.
You can turn Automations on and off (might be useful for some situations and runs)
Fleet Install Loadouts[edit | edit source]
Fleet Install Loadouts is a bit different from other menus and deserves some explanation.
You can unlock Fleet Install Loadouts in the Mod Tree for each specific Ship.
Once unlocked you can set up the order of Ship Upgrades that Automation will try to purchase. Just assign them in the order you feel the best for you or follow a guide. You can use Info button at the top right corner to get the upgrades description.
Once applied and activated Automation will try to purchase Ship Upgrades in the order you set every Tick
CIFI Automation Hub Tips[edit | edit source]
- Make sure to check automations that you can afford with Cells before doing Loop Resets, particularly on long runs where Cell gains are at their highest
- Sometimes its a good idea to turn off Fleet Install Loadouts if you are going for specific Resource like Shards or Research Points
