Fast answer

Ancient Technology Points are spent on Ancient Technology unlocks and are earned through progression activities such as defeating major bosses. The practical next step is to decide whether Ancient Technology Points is needed once, needed for Technology unlocks, or needed repeatedly as part of a production chain.

Best planning path

Ancient Technology Points is currently best handled as a focused farming page. Use the notes below to decide whether a quick run or a longer base setup is worth it.

Ancient Technology Points farming notes

Explain the difference between regular Technology Points and Ancient Technology Points, then list priority unlocks after the unlock table is imported.

Use this page when Ancient Technology Points is the named blocker in a craft, base upgrade, or production chain. The fastest plan is usually not just finding the material once; it is deciding whether you need a repeatable base route, a short manual run, or a stockpile before spending the next batch.

When to farm Ancient Technology Points

Farm Ancient Technology Points when one of its uses is the next bottleneck: Technology unlocks, Progression planning, Boss route planning. If the material feeds a late-game or advanced craft, build a small reserve before starting the final recipe so one missing input does not interrupt the whole route.

How to spend it

Spend the first batch on the unlock or craft that removes the current blocker, then keep later batches grouped with adjacent materials in the same chain. This is especially important when Ancient Technology Points competes with base production, gear upgrades, or other materials already tracked by the planner.

Ancient Technology Points route decision

standalone farming material

Ancient Technology Points does not currently anchor a planner chain, so this page should be used as a focused farming and spending note. If the current blocker is Technology unlocks, use the material calculator to plan the material together with adjacent inputs instead of farming it as an isolated errand. This helps separate one-time unlock needs from repeatable production needs.

Before starting a farming session, decide whether you need a single craft, a buffer for several crafts, or a permanent base loop. A small shortage can be solved manually, but repeated Ancient Technology Points demand should be tied to storage, transport, and worker planning.

Small shortage or permanent route?

A small shortage of Ancient Technology Points is usually a short farming trip. Repeated demand for Ancient Technology Points is a production problem, so connect it to storage, transport, workers, and the next craft instead of repeating the same emergency run.

Check before spending

Before using the next batch, confirm whether the material is needed for Technology unlocks or Progression planning. Keeping the intended use visible prevents a rare resource from disappearing into an optional craft while a progression requirement is still waiting.

Spend points against a named unlock

Ancient Technology Points should be tied to a named unlock before the run starts. If the plan is only to collect points because they are rare, it is easy to spend them on convenience and still leave the actual bottleneck unsolved. Decide whether travel, capture, base automation, or combat is the next constraint.

How to avoid farming the wrong ancient item

When progression stalls, check whether the blocker is an unlock currency, Ancient Civilization Parts, or Ancient Civilization Cores. These searches overlap, but the solutions are different. Points live in the technology decision, while Parts and Cores belong to material planning after the recipe or unlock is clear.

How to farm Ancient Technology Points

1

Target major boss progression when you need Ancient Technology Points for unlocks.

2

Open the Ancient Technology tab before spending points so you know the exact unlock cost and priority.

3

Choose unlocks that remove immediate friction, such as travel, capture, base, or combat tools you will use right away.

Practical tips

  • Ancient Technology Points are not the same as Ancient Civilization Cores.
  • Plan unlocks before boss runs so rewards turn into progress immediately.
  • Prioritize systems that speed up future farming instead of only one-off convenience.

Avoid this

  • Do not spend points just because an unlock is available.
  • Do not search for Cores when your blocker is actually Ancient Technology Points.
