PowerScale FAQ
Answers about PowerScale's account saves, energy puzzles, machines, resource tiers, offline progress, mobile play, alpha status, and Dyson sphere goals.
PowerScale is a sci-fi incremental factory automation game for web and mobile browsers. You solve energy puzzles, charge batteries, power machines, craft resources, advance through tiers, and build Dyson spheres around real stars.
PowerScale is currently available for alpha testing in the browser. The game includes in-game upgrades, and future purchase systems may be added as the project develops.
No account is needed to try PowerScale. Guest mode lets you play Tier 1 immediately, but cloud saves, reports, purchases, and Tier 2 progression require creating an account with either email or username.
Players generate energy, run machines, mine ores, refine ingots, craft components, manage production slots, pin recipes, install generators, buy upgrades, and progress toward orbital construction.
Energy is stored in a battery. Puzzles and passive generators charge the battery, while machines consume power during production cycles. Battery capacity, generator output, machine clock modes, and upgrades all affect how efficiently the factory runs.
Machines are production categories such as Miner, Smelter, Constructor, Assembler, Fabricator, and Orbital Fabricator. Recipes define what a machine consumes, how long the cycle takes, how much power it draws, and what resource it outputs.
Tiers are major progression milestones. Tier 3 introduces battery upgrades and generator systems, while later tiers expand into advanced materials, orbital production, and star-map goals. Current progression runs from Tier 1 Iron Bootstrap to Tier 9 Orbital Launch.
In late-game PowerScale, the Orbital Launcher opens a star map. Players choose real stars, provide the required orbital resources, and build Dyson spheres for permanent additive bonuses.
Yes. If the player is away long enough, PowerScale can replay eligible factory activity using stored machine states, inputs, battery charge, generator output, upgrades, and offline efficiency.
Yes. PowerScale is currently in alpha. Systems may change, balance may be adjusted, bugs may appear, and progress resets may happen while the game evolves.
It can happen during alpha if major systems change. The game is still evolving, and progress resets are possible while the core experience, balance, and account systems are refined.
Yes. PowerScale is designed for desktop and mobile browsers. The interface adapts for smaller screens with mobile-friendly menus, touch controls, and responsive public pages.
