Level up requirements
To upgrade the Headquarters to higher levels, both resources and building requirements must be met at each stage.
It’s crucial to advance construction gradually to facilitate smooth progression to the next level of the headquarters and to spare enough resources. Failing to upgrade the Headquarters may result in having a weak squad, as this building determines the cap for Hero levels.
Below is the diagram illustrating the buildings required for each level up to level 30:

Builder’s Hut
At the beginning of the game, when your base level is lower than 15, the Builder’s Hut can be your best friend.
This building allows to gain Free Speed-up Time. By maintaining this building’s level aligned with the Headquarters, you’ll be able to swiftly level up numerous other buildings.
As you progress to higher levels, the effectiveness of these speed-ups diminishes, given the significant resource investment required to upgrade the building. It may not be wise to spend all those resources for a mere one-minute gain per building level.
Actions
When you click on the Builder’s Hut you can access the following actions:
- Survivors
- Builder upgrade
- Level up
Survivors
In this section you can see which survivors are working in this building. You can also change one with another active one that might give a bigger bonus.
In this case (red dot on the survivor) the first survivor can be replaced with one that has a better bonus. Click on the first survivor.
The survivor list opens showing available survivors ordered by bonus. Click on the first survivor to use as replacement.
Builder upgrade
It is possible to buy additional builders.
To keep up with the game pace it is wise to at least buy a second builder.
Gold Mine / Iron Mine / Field
These three buildings are the most important regarding resource production.
They allow to produce:
- Coin
- Iron
- Food
Coin/Iron/Food
The amount of Coin/Iron/Food resources immediately available goes into the counters at the top of the screen:
These resources are immediately available to be used to level up buildings, carry out research, etc.
Fields and mines
It is important to obtain, upgrade and best manage iron and gold mines.
When new survivors arrive, it’s advantageous to allocate them to production buildings, concentrating them all in one to expedite its growth compared to others.
With such bonuses, even if all gold mines aren’t at their highest level, having one with the highest level, enhanced by survivors, can significantly boost overall gold production per hour.
The original hourly production value at level 23 is 16,560 coins per hour
Thanks to the bonuses of the survivors this mine generates more than 2 and a half times the original hourly production value.
