CONSTELLATIONS — a permanent layer past the stars. Five branches that survive every ascension: Supernova and Gravity Well for raw income and star payouts, Nebula for deeper offline banking, Polaris to keep income levels through a reset, and Comet Trail for drop levels you start every run with. ELITE GOALS — nine hard chases that open after your third rewire. Tap ten goldens inside a single meteor shower. Clear a challenge in under ten minutes. Drive a bucket to golden 40. Ascend with every piece type unlocked. AUTOMATION — buy it with stars and the board upgrades itself. Four tiers, from peg levels up through golden buckets to every piece type. It only ever spends spare change, so it works the board while you're idle without touching the coins you're saving. Plus a save-integrity pass: a corrupted save file can no longer cost you your ascensions, masteries, or ball progress.
