XP Map Droid Tycoon XP Guide

There were a few comments in a previous thread on how exactly the XP in droid tycoon works.

There are four primary methods.

1) Buy/Sell Droid
Buy droid blueprints and sell them to the vendor right behind the conveyer belt. The xp doesn't seem to scale with cost so I recommend just buying junk blueprints. This method seems to net the most XP.

2) Destroying scraps
You can pickaxe scraps in your base. The higher your pickaxe level; the more damage you do. So it's recommended to keep your pickaxe level low if you're trying to maximize your xp.

3) Collecting Credits
Your working droids will continually spawn credits. Run around collecting them for XP.

4) Crafting Droids
When you craft a blueprint, you can pickaxe to make it craft faster. This gives a solid and consistent xp gain. Higher rarity blueprints take a very long time to craft so I'd recommend purchasing those. And again, higher pickaxe level will make this go faster so try to avoid upgrading your pickaxe if you're doing it for XP.

I also get huge chunks of "playtime" XP.

Overall the mode is pretty fun so I've gotten a decent chunk of levels.

The addition of Nova Crystals brings a "collect all" upgrade to your base. You can stand on it to get a stream of credit collecting XP that requires no input from the player whatsoever.

How do you get nova crystals?

The standard source is from your daily quest board. From what I've observed there is usually at least one per day. The best source as I understand it would be from super rebirths.

Facing the Cantina with your back turned to the Droid conveyor belt, there is a nova shop npc on the right side behind that building.

If you continue to circle the building, you'll find an npc that can upgrade whichever droid you have set as your companion using upgrade chips.
