Reinforce

Warning!This article contains late-game spoilers for Sectors 80+ throughout the entire page.
Read at your own discretion.

Reinforce is a late game system unlocked at sector 80.

Reinforcing allows players to reset nearly everything in order to gain massive permanent bonuses, and later on gain Fleet_Resources. Currently, players can reinforce at sectors 80, 85, 90, 95 and 100 respectively, which will also grant the following consumables:

• 4 extra retrofits
• 4 base prestiges
• 2 crew sleeve resets
• 2 6 hour timeskips
• 1 crew mastery respec.

List of things that do not reset on Reinforce:

• Players keep all previous Reinforce bonuses.
• Achievements, skins and anything under the AI tab do not reset.
• Sector Data shows sectors cleared in previous reinforces even if they're not cleared in the current reinforce.
• The Reactors Engine Boost stays at level 30, even before unlocking Base 1.
• Players keep the Compute Improvements upgrade from Base 2, even before unlocking base 2.
• Shards automatically count as maxed as soon as the same one of a higher tier is obtained.
• The Task List does not need to be redone. Reaching sector 75 will automatically unlock the Battle Cruiser, and using it will automatically cap Compute at 1e22x damage/shield boost.
• V-Device slots unlocked by Key Shards, as well as any shard inside them, do not reset.
• Any progress made in Galaxies carries over.
• Finalized Bases stay finalized.

Major Spoilers for Sectors 100+ (click here to dismiss)

R6+

After the 5th reinforce, players can reinforce at will any time after reaching sector 100 or higher, in order to gain Fleet Resources. For every sector above 100, players gain 1.1x their Fleet Resources (100 * 1.1 ^ (sector-100), so 110 in S101, 121 in S102, etc...), and any pending bonuses granted from galaxies get activated immediately.
