Character Sheet

Press Shift + C to open your Character Sheet.

• Incarnation = your current shell (the one doing actions)

• Self = your persistent core (The Substrate - the Nervous System tthat froms a Neural substrate)

Gaining XP & Creating Memories

You gain XP by performing actions (mining, combat, travel, repair, etc).

• The more developed you are in a field, the less XP you gain per action

• To create a Memory, you must reach specific level thresholds

Important:

• Memories are formed using the two most-used skills while leveling (or the 2 most xp awared during that lvl)

• Memories will always have two stats (never 3 or 4)

Higher level thresholds = stronger Memories i.e More stats

Full XP Curve (Projected to 27 Memories):

XP doubles per level:

Key Takeaways

• XP becomes insane past ~10 Memories

• 20+ is effectively endgame scaling

• Every +1 Memory = double the grind

The Self

• Holds up to 27 Memories

• Does not generate Memories

• Stores Memories passed up from Incarnations via Ascension

• Creates Crowns

Memories:

• Act like flexible “levels” with stat bonuses

• Early Memories are weaker (+0 / +1 common) But are easyer to obtain (lower xp requirement)

• Later Memories scale higher (no known cap) but have a higher XP requirement

Each Memory takes 1 slot, regardless of strength
→ Stronger Memories are always better space efficiency

The Incarnation/Shell

• Holds up to 27 Memories

• Generates Memories through actions

• Can Ascend Sends their Memories to the Self

• Shells can be made with diffrent properties

⚠️ Ascension destroys the current shell
⚠️ If the Incarnation/Shell dies, all of its Memories are lost and any Crown worn is also destroyed

Crowns

• Created by the Self using stored Memories

• Produced every 30 minutes

• Go into inventory (can be equipped or traded)

Rules:

• Max 27 Memories per Crown

• Creating a Crown does NOT delete previous ones

• Crowns can be replaced by equipping a different one

Downside:

• XP gain is scaled by total Memory count (Incarnation + Crown)

Example:
If your Incarnation has 0 Memories but equips a Crown with 7 →
You gain XP as if you are already at level 7

Crown Optimization Trick

• Deleting unwanted Memories from a worn Crown reduces total Memory count

• This lowers XP scaling → faster leveling

→ Remove irrelevant stats for the activity you are training

Memory Strategy

• No benefit to keeping weaker Memories over stronger ones
  (unless you need space before reaching cap)

• Replace low-value Memories once near or at 27 cap

• Early Memories are usually temporary (+0 / +1)

• Higher level Memories = better stat rolls

• To target stats:
  → Perform the related activity
  → Push to higher levels before generating the Memory

Ascension Strategy

Ascend when:

• Near or at Memory cap

• You want to secure progress before risk

• You are changing activities/playstyle

⚠️ Farming on a low-memory / no-crown Incarnation is more efficient for XP gain early on

Deletion Rules

Self:

• Permanent loss

Incarnation:

• Local deletion only (shell or Crown)

Important:

• Deleting weak Memories can improve efficiency

• Keeping weak Memories too long may slow progression

Key Mechanics Confirmed

• No known cap on Memory strength (above +7 exists)

• Crown + Incarnation Memories stack beyond 27

• XP scaling is based on total active Memories

• Memories always roll 2 stats only

Summary

• Perform actions → Gain XP

• Reach thresholds → Create Memories

• Stronger Memories come from higher levels

• Replace weak Memories near cap

• Ascend before losing progress

• Use Crowns carefully (they slow leveling)

• Optimize by reducing total Memory count when farming
