Remote Buy Guide

Remote Buy is a late-game feature that lets you purchase upgrades without physically walking to them — but it comes at a steep cost.

What is Remote Buy?

Remote Buy lets you buy any upgrade or button from anywhere on the map, without needing to walk up to it. This saves time in the late game when the map is large and every second counts.

When Does It Unlock?

Remote Buy unlocks at approximately Evolution 6. You will not see it earlier.

This means you need to:

1. Reach ~50–100 octodecillion value to unlock evolutions
2. Complete evolutions up to tier 6
3. Remote Buy will then become available to purchase

How Much Does It Cost?

The cost is in the trigintillion range of investors — an enormous amount.

To put that in perspective, trigintillion is a 1 followed by 93 zeros. By the time you can afford Remote Buy, you are very close to Ascension.

Is It Worth Buying?

Honestly: it’s debatable, and the community considers it somewhat unfair.

The problem is timing. You unlock Remote Buy at Evolution 6, which puts you very close to Ascension already. By the time you can afford the trigintillion investor cost, you’re nearly at the finish line anyway.

Arguments for buying:

• Genuine quality-of-life improvement
• Saves real time if you’re actively playing
• Stacks with other speed advantages for P2W players

Arguments against:

• Extremely expensive relative to when it unlocks
• You’re almost at Ascension anyway
• That investor investment might push you to Ascension faster if used elsewhere

P2W vs F2P Context

Remote Buy is one piece of a larger P2W advantage. Here’s how the full picture looks:

Factor	F2P	P2W
Base investor rate	2% max	2%
Double investors gamepass (×4, bought 4 times)	—	×16
Speed gamepass	—	×16
Remote Buy (late game)	—	✓
Effective speed	1×	~1,000×

F2P players cap out at 2% investor rate. P2W players who stack double investors (purchased 4 times) and the speed gamepass can be roughly 1,000 times faster than a F2P player. Remote Buy adds further advantage on top of this.

This doesn’t mean the game is unplayable F2P — it just means progression timelines are very different.

Summary

• Unlocks at Evolution 6
• Costs trigintillion investors
• Useful but arrives very late in the progression curve
• Part of a broader P2W speed gap vs F2P
