Benefits
The amount of credits or minerals required to buy or research this upgrade; for upgrades that can be repeated, the cost is multiplied by the number of the upgrade being researched; thus if an upgrade costs Level × 500 Element Zero, the second upgrade would cost 1,000 Element Zero, the third 1,500 Element Zero, and so on; purchased upgrades are not counted for this purpose, so the cost is the same whether purchased upgrades are purchased before or after other research; note that it is possible to get a 1/6 discount on the price of most purchased upgrades (see shop page for details)
