Trophy guide
Build the supercomputer, learn all three technologies and reach a billion dollars. Includes normal-mode repairs and the warning for fast Express Mode runs.
PS4
Buy every upgrade before the billion-dollar ending. Normal New Game allows more time than Express Mode. Repair breakdowns in normal mode.
Start a new run and tap to earn the money for your first purchases. I would build automatic income before saving for the expensive upgrades. Roadmap divides this single run into building the computer and checking the final purchases. Use Trophies for the exact row or technology behind an outstanding unlock.
Complete the button upgrade and both income boosts, fill all five component sets, then buy the three Education levels and their technologies. A first component trophy is only the start of that set. Once every purchase trophy is unlocked, stop spending and wait for Make a billion. Choose normal New Game if you want more time to shop. Express Mode can reach the ending before every upgrade is bought.
The completion reference gives a compact list of the purchase groups. Check the missing trophy solutions before starting another run.
Select normal New Game. Tap to generate starting money. Use and to cycle the three categories above the purchase list. Highlight the row you want and buy it with . The first category has boosts and upgrades, the middle one has components, and the last one has technologies.
Begin with Upgrade "Press Button" and affordable components. Keep reinvesting as automatic income grows. Finish Thermal Paste and Overclocking in the upgrade category. The middle category needs complete sets of lamps, cooler, cpu, transistor and water cooling, not just one of each.
Buy the first, second and third Education upgrades. They open Database, Computer Games and Internet respectively. Switch to the technology category and purchase each unlocked technology. An Education trophy does not replace the separate technology purchase.
If income drops because a part breaks, select Repair in the upgrade category. Express Mode avoids breakdowns but can end too quickly for all purchases.
