Upgrade dice toward your current invention plan
Improve faces that help you build, test and publish the devices already in reach.
Do not overbuild unfinished devices
Several partial inventions can tie up resources without producing prestige. Finish one efficient pipeline before starting too many more.
Craftspeople should reduce repeated costs
Prioritize workers that improve actions you expect to use several times.
Publish at the right moment
Publishing too early can sacrifice more testing value; publishing too late can miss guild or endgame timing.
Guild progress should match your device mix
Advance where your workshop naturally generates the required science and invention types.
Late game: convert workshop strength into completed science
Stop upgrading systems that cannot be used again and push devices through testing and publication.
