Unit Types
There are a variety of units in the game, and not all of them are easy to find.
Keanu
The Keanu unit is very powerful, especially in its Bulk form,=.
- Primary: Do the pollinator contemplation that opens up late in chapter one. It is available from the start in chapters two and onward.
- Warning: in chapter two, if you pass the forth doom (Religious Schism) of Vorsiber's Wrath, you will be unable to get this unit, or the related consumable items, via this method.
- After you have done this event, you will have either Weaponized Bees or Weaponized Spiders, but still no Keanu.
- If you have Bees, then you must build an Apiary, and then a contemplation called Fast Fist will appear on it. Complete that contemplation to unlock the Keanu.
- If you have Spiders, then a different contemplation called Fast Fist will appear on one of your android-producing buildings, pretty much immediately. Complete that contemplation to unlock the Keanu.
- Cross-Timeline: coming soon
Consumable Items
Consumable items are used by your units, and cost resources when you do so. Some of these are also quite hidden.
Weaponized Spiders
Weaponize Spiders are more powerful than bees, at least at the start. They have plasma cutters that can go through armor, whereas bees require exposed skin.
- Primary: Do the pollinator contemplation that opens up late in chapter one. It is available from the start in chapters two and onward.
- Key step: Do NOT talk to the geneticist, instead ignoring her.
- Warning: in chapter two, if you pass the forth doom (Religious Schism) of Vorsiber's Wrath, the pollinator event becomes inaccessible.
Weaponized Bees
Weaponized Bees have very low usability at first, since most of your opponents are armored, and they cannot get through armor without further upgrades.
- Primary: Do the pollinator contemplation that opens up late in chapter one. It is available from the start in chapters two and onward.
- Key step: DO talk to the geneticist.
- Warning: in chapter two, if you pass the forth doom (Religious Schism) of Vorsiber's Wrath, the pollinator event becomes inaccessible.
