The Shop is a section in the game where you can buy things with real money, and also Featured Items like Researchers for Science. The things you can buy are Research Capsules, Time Hacks, Gold Packs and Science Packs.
The section is placed all the way to the right at the menu on the bottom.
Bundles[]
Sometimes, a special offer will appear for real money which can contain certain cards, capsules, gold, science, or a combination of 2-3. Offers can appear when you rank up, as well as throughout the week. There are many different special offers that could appear, and they appear to be divided into segments based on how much money you have spent so far in the motherland, how much money was spent in the last 26 days, and your motherland rank.

In general, "Freeloader", "Minnow", and "Reactive" segments tend to be offered better deals (higher xValue) and cheaper offers, while "Dolphin" and "Whale" segments often have more expensive offers that often don't have a good value. In addition, offers tend to be better at higher ranks up to 
Rank 79. However, the "High Rank" segments have mediocre offers similar to "Dolphin" and "Whale", with the rank bundles often including common cards that unlocked several ranks ago. Thus, players wanting to buy high value (x4-x6) bundles should do so before reaching 
Rank 80, and will likely need to wait at least 26 days before seeing another high value bundle.
Rank offers[]
See Main article: Rank Offers
Rank offers appear upon reaching a certain rank. The starter pack appears at rank 4, while the other rank offers will appear when you reach a rank at least 10 that ends with a 0, 3, or 6 (i.e. Ranks 10, 13, 16, etc.) until rank 30, then every rank thereafter.
Note that many "High Rank" offers contain common cards that unlocked during ranks in the previous rank segment. These bundles are unlikely to be useful just for those cards as those cards are likely to have been obtained before the bundle can appear.
Weekday Offers[]
See Main article: Weekday Offers
Starting at 
Rank 12, weekday offers appear during the week.
Weekend Offers[]
See Main article: Weekend Offers
- Every third week until rank 80, or every fourth week starting at rank 80, an Epic Capsule for 10,000 Science appears for 2 days, from Friday that week to Sunday. This capsule can only be bought once. It contains a certain amount of epic researchers depending on your rank.
- Also every third week until rank 80, or every fourth week starting at rank 80, a Supreme Capsule appears for 2 days, also from Friday that week to Sunday. For 750 Gold, you will get a random Supreme researcher. It can only be bought once.
- Weeks without an epic or supreme capsule offer will have a science offer for real money.
Scheduled Offers[]
See Main article: Scheduled Offers
Starting at 
Rank 7, additional offers appear periodically. These include "Supreme of the Week" offers as well as other "Special Offers" that are generated independently of Weekday offers. These offers are scheduled in advance for everyone and do not depend on your segment. The only condition is that offers containing a particular Supreme Researcher will not appear for those who have not yet unlocked it.
Featured researchers[]
Every 8 hours, 6 random researchers appear. One of them is available once you watched an ad, and it will give you X common, rare and with some luck an epic researcher. They other 5 researchers can be bought using gold or science depending on what the researcher is being offered for.
- Tip: Buying trading comrades researchers is usually a good idea, except for potatoes and maybe land. For example, you can get 20x Sir Lance Egon for 'only' 2,000 Science.
Each slot has a different probability for the rarity of the researcher as well as whether it will be offered for science or gold:
|
Slot |
Common |
Rare |
Epic |
Supreme |
Currency |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 (Mystery Researcher Ad, 3 choices) | 80% | 18% | 1.99% | 0.01% | Ad Watch |
| 2 | 100% | 0% | 0% | 0% | Science |
| 3 | 50% | 50% | 0% | 0% | 75% Science, 25% Gold |
| 4 | 0% | 75% | 25% | 0% | Science |
| 5 | 0% | 0% | 88% | 12% | Science |
| 6 | 0% | 0% | 80% | 20% | Gold |
The cost per card of a researcher depends on the rarity of researcher:
| Rarity | Science Price Per Card | Gold Price Per Card |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 10 | 0.5 |
| Rare | 100 | 5 |
| Epic | 1,000 | 50 |
| Supreme | 40,000 | 1,500 |
The quantity of researchers depends on the player's rank:
| Rank | Common Quantity | Rare Quantity | Epic Quantity | Supreme Quantity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-4 | 5 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| 5-9 | 10 | 3 | 1 | 1 |
| 10-14 | 20 | 5 | 2 | 1 |
| 15-19 | 30 | 8 | 2 | 1 |
| 20-24 | 40 | 10 | 3 | 1 |
| 25-29 | 50 | 12 | 3 | 1 |
| 30-39 | 60 | 15 | 4 | 1 |
| 40-49 | 70 | 18 | 4 | 1 |
| 50-59 | 80 | 20 | 5 | 1 |
| 60-79 | 90 | 22 | 5 | 1 |
| 80+ | 100 | 25 | 5 | 1 |
For the Mystery Researcher Ad, the quantity of cards awarded is reduced:
| Rank | Common Quantity | Rare Quantity | Epic Quantity | Supreme Quantity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-4 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 5-9 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 10-14 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 15-19 | 6 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| 20-24 | 8 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| 25-29 | 10 | 3 | 1 | 1 |
| 30-39 | 12 | 3 | 1 | 1 |
| 40-49 | 14 | 4 | 1 | 1 |
| 50-59 | 16 | 4 | 1 | 1 |
| 60-79 | 18 | 4 | 1 | 1 |
| 80+ | 20 | 4 | 1 | 1 |
Research Capsules[]
- In this section, you can buy an Iron, Gold or Diamond capsule for some gold. Every 4 hours, a free capsule is ready to be opened too, of which the types can vary from a Wood Capsule to a Supreme Capsule. These are the prices:
- 250 Gold for an Iron Capsule
- 750 Gold for a Gold Capsule
- 2,500 Gold for a Diamond Capsule
These are generally not worth buying, however.
Time Warps[]
- You can buy a time warp with gold, to go 1 hour, 4 hours or a whole day in the future. You can also get time warps through packs or rewards from the Supreme Pass for special operations. Using this, you will collect comrades and resources during the time warp you bought. 3 packs are available:
- 1 Hour of comrades/resources for 50 gold
- 4 Hour of comrades/resources for 150 gold
- 1 day (24 hours) of comrades/resources for 750 gold
The amounts previewed for the warps do not account for buildup (other generators producing more of the first generator) or luck chance, but will give the rewards for that.
Gold Packs[]
- In this section, you can buy Gold with real money. 6 packs are available:
- 160 Gold for $1.99
- 500 Gold for $4.99
- 1,200 Gold for $9.99
- 2,500 Gold for $19.99
- 6,500 Gold for $49.99
- 14,000 Gold for $99.99
Science Packs[]
- At the bottom of the shop section, you can buy Science with Gold. 3 packs are available for now:
- 1,000 Science for 60 Gold
- 10,000 Science for 500 Gold
- 100,000 Science for 4,500 Gold
Warning: At later ranks, the science packs are not worth it. You can get the science through science bubbles or capsules way easier.
