Factions Guide

What are factions?

Factions are basically a "prestige" system where if you join a faction you restart. There is a special currency called "reputation" which you can get by joining a faction or trading ys/rc for it after you join a faction which doesn't reset your progress. There are 3 factions:
-Temple of Hyperion
-Crystal Consortium
-Void Legions

Why should you join a faction?

You unlock new things like for example new missions, items, and ships. They cost reputation and normal money. Especially the items are very worth it, with the 3 "rounds" items from the 3 factions being better than the skilled 40%x2.5 item. Also if you do all the missions you get a skillpoint and 3 extra skillpoints are great to have too.

How do you join a faction?


 
You need to get to the tier where the"band"/"ring" of the faction is located. Inside the rings there are the outposts, where you can join the faction:

Temple of Hyperion - Tier 710

Crystal Consortium - Tier 1020
Void Legions - Tier 1350
(Credit to dudiobugtron for the screenshots)

Which faction should you join?

You can and you want to join all factions eventually, the thing you can decide about is the order. The order can matter a bit about how fast you will unlock all factions but is in the end not too important.

What I suggest:
If you are already above tier 1350, go for void-> hyperion ->crystal
unless you would get more than 3000 rep then join crystal to get the portals
Else go for Hyperion->crystal->void
Why? hyperion has a ship that is good early game (Follower seeker). You basically do the same thing as you did in your first playthrough (just better ;) )and reach more factions until you get them all. 


What is reset upon joining a faction?

You can expect pretty much everything to be reset. (items, ships, captains, tiers, missions, achievements, custom ships, etc.)
The only things that stay, are: 
Of course the unlocked faction. You keep access to the shop and missions. The bought ships and items are actually half reset. You need to pay the money for them again but not the reputation.
Medals and alliance members also stay when you reset.


How do you get reputation?

You get reputation by doing a faction reset or by trading in yellow squares and red cross for them on a 1:9 for yellow squares and a 1:10 for red cross.

      Then you can join and not get the ship. Which is no big problem. Or get 780 ys which I don't suggest

      Damn, I did not realize this before joining. Could you please give a bit longer explanation to make it more understandable? For example: gather more yellow squares so that you get at least 269 rep when joining the faction, otherwise you will not get the first faction ship and need to start grinding more. I did not know it was so hard getting reputation at the start

      you get about 100 reputation by other things and the rest by yellow squares. 9 yellow squares for 1 reputation. so you need more than a thousand ys for the ship which will take maybe half an hour of grinding. that's not much but more than what the ship will speed up the progress. so if you have gathered ys anyway you can get the rest quite fast. other wise you don't get it and just skip the ship

    I finished a faction and got the skill point medal, but after joining a new faction, I don't have the extra skill point on the next playthrough (unlike other medals that are permanent)

      You have to atleast get to tier 50 for the first skillpoint then you should have them

      I got to tier 50 and only had the base skill unlocked as my previous playthrough, I was expecting to have an additional skillpoint at that time which I didn't have.

      However, it appears the game has just been updated and I have gained an additional skillpoint :hmmm:

    Will I have access to a previous faction's (eg hyperion) missions, ships, modules if I don't clear/buy them on that run and join the next faction (eg crystal)? or are they permanently unlocked once I joined once?

    I don't have enough reputation to buy the items I want (now that I know what they do) from Hyperion, and I don't seem to be able to join Hyperion again to get the reputation. I planned ahead for Crystal, but I still want more. Is there a point where I can go back and earn more reputation for those factions, or is Void the only reputation I can earn now? (Yes, there are missions. I need more reputation than they provide.)

      aelysium?
      the items you get are definitely better than rank 2500 captain.
      also getting rank 2500 is a lot easier now

Waves/Custom ship Walkthrough

Miner Gun Builder Wave Guide This is a complete guide from starting waves to having all chunks you need. About which chunks to buy, which items to use, and when you should give up in a wave run to get the most rc/min. Before you read any further please keep in mind, that this will be a full guide, so it could take the fun from some people. But also keep in mind that buying the wrong tiles, especially at the start of waves can slow you down extremely and some chunks seem good but aren't. Read  Wave explanation  before this if you don't know how waves and custom ships work. Start waves Before you start doing waves, you should be tier 1000 to use the wave skill tree, have all the needed legendaries, and enough base damage.

Legendarys Guide

This is a full guide about legendary placement and legendary order !DISCLAIMER! before you joined all factions i reccomend only getting the corner piece legendary, you can get more legendaries if you want The first legendary items are unlocked at tier 500 then at 600 and 700. They cost 500G and 500 Ys legendarys for the tier 500 legendarys and the others cost correspondingly more. See this guide to see how to get that. For the order use this: (Note that the meta now is to use 2 pierce 2 add projectile instead of 1 pierce and 3 add projectile) For the first legendary use it at the start before any multipliers and after addition with this combo: Note:With the combo it should activate around 90% of the time and if you could use a cloner and an add projectile before this one it would be better, but if you move the add projectile from inside a loop to outside and dont have anything to fill the loop with other than multipliers, then just dont bother Note 2: Dont add any add
