V-Device

The V-Device screen

The V-Device (Void Device) is a system in Unnamed Space Idle. It is recovered from an old alien device in sector 3. Once acquired, destroyed enemies will drop Void Shards, which can be inserted into one of the slots of the device, and grant the player bonuses depending on the slot. The type and amount of dropped shards as well as the drop chance depend on the sector and can be boosted by other systems.

The red and orange slots unlock as soon as V-Device is unlocked. The pink slot gets unlocked when reaching sector 6, blue at sector 18, and green at sector 32.

Every shard has a maximum Resonance. This indicates the amount of that shard the player has to collect for it to achieve it's highest potential effect, i.e. a shard with max Resonance 50 and a 100% drop chance for 1 would require 50 enemy kills to get maxed out. Effects scale gradually as Resonance fills up, and usually start at the highest value of the same shard but 1 tier lower.

After getting the "Shard Linking" upgrade from base 3, slots in the V-Device can be linked together, granting both shards the effects of both slots, as well as certain link-based effects, which depend on the shard itself.

Key Shards

Major Spoilers for R3, Sectors 92+ (click here to dismiss)

Key shards can be found by destroying enemies pulled by the veil piercer.

A key shard does not fit in any slot, but once its resonance is maxed it can be consumed to start charging the shard. While the shard is charging, all shard effects and drops are disabled. When the player kills 1000 waves of enemies the shard is charged and doing a prestige will unlock a new slot. This slot can only be used by one specific shard, but it will trigger all of the color specific effects as well as the normal upgrade. Key slots are completely permanent. They will not go away on reinforce and neither will the corresponding shard.

All key shards have 100000 max resonance.
