Hi. As of the time of writing, upgrades do not save on the Android version between sessions. I'm on the fourth upgrade mission(3 upgrades done) and the upgrades for max power and Very Fine upgrading efficiency(along with the first upgrade I forgot about) did not save between my two main sessions.

Can the first room you add be the tree please. The researchers have wanted a lot of energy panels from me and waiting for the item to randomly appear after multiple 1:1 cycles gets really tedious very quickly. Of course you probably have other plans I just wanted to point out that as it stands with the current game play loop the tree would probably be the most useful.

Really wish I could view quests without returning to the board/researcher every time. Sometimes you might make something that fits another quest while searching for a specific item.

You put a lot of effort to being able to create different things but the quest feel that they require one specific item while being descriptive of more than one.

THIS IS AWESOME!!!! how did you make the art?!

I really like this game, and look forward to seeing what the other rooms have to offer. I didn't see a guide anywhere, but would have really liked one, because it took a lot of trial and failure. By guide I mean like a more in depth explanation of the workings of the refiner. I think Marcopole gave a pretty good one somewhere in the comments. 

Another couple suggestions: put the gallery in the game so we can easily see what items we already have created instead of going back to the main menu and then gallery. Also, maybe a hint option, like for a certain task, maybe state what base it needs and also what tier item so we can just cycle through the 1:1 until we find it. Also, instead of trashing the item if we get it wrong, because it seems like the tasks are really particular about what items they accept, maybe just give it back to the player so they don't have to spend all that time getting back to the ultra tier.

Great game though!

Took me a bit to figure out, would be great if they have added a guide.

"Rough" gets you a Tier 1 + a extra Tier 1 item for each tier above 2
"Coarse" always gives you a Tier 2
"1:1" gives you a random item of the same Tier
"Fine" increases 2 tiers, but can't go higher than Tier 4
"Very Fine" increases 3 tiers to max Tier 5

Applying "Very Fine" to a Tier 5 will give you a tier 6 (ultra), this is the highest Tier of the game (as far as I know)

If you run out of energy, just feed the machine with a tier 1 item for +50% energy (all items give +50%, tier doesn't matter)

So basically you start with one material tier 3 and 50% energy
You put it into the machine on "Rough" mode and you get 2 items tier 1
Put them into the machine on "Fine" mode and you get 2 items tier 3
Into the machine on "Rough" again and you get 4 items tier 1
And so here's the game loop
You can also "Coarse" -> "Fine" -> "Rough" instead (get 3 items and only cost 10% more energy)

It seems the game is autosaved, you can go back to menu any time to check items discovered.

Researchers will tell you the exact description of the item they're looking for, its usually tier 3 or tier 4. When you give them an item with the exact description you get upgrades (faster energy regeneration, lower costs...)

Please let us disable power requirements in the state the game is currently in with no way to interact with anything other than the machine, been playing on and off for like an hour and most of that was spent either waiting for power or getting items destroyed trying to experiment.

How do i get more materials

I agreed with what Seth JOestar said. But I would suggest, at least in the stage its currently in, that energy would recharge quicker cause it takes a while to come back and there's nothing else to really do whilst waiting. Good game, cant wait to see what it becomes.
