How to buy levels

You earn Mastery in races, by choosing it as a Plincar reward, or while away after unlocking Offline Mastery. Spend your balance manually in the tree. Select a node to check its effect and next-level cost. Branches have prerequisites: unlock the preceding node before moving on.

This screenshot highlights the Offline Credit and Offline Mastery branches. Zoom and pan to explore the other paths; opening the tree does not pause the race. Click to enlarge.

Useful paths to start with

GoalTree path
More crate storageCREDIT → MASTERY → DEPOT
Higher crate chanceDEPOT → CRATES → FINDS
Automatic openingDEPOT → AUTOMATION → CONVEYOR
More room for partsMASTERY → INVENTORY → BAG → WAREHOUSE
AUTO-REPAIRMASTERY → REPAIR → INSPECTION → AUTO-REPAIR → READINESS
Offline CreditCREDIT → INCOME → OFFLINE CREDIT
Offline MasteryCREDIT → MASTERY → LEARNING → OFFLINE MASTERY

The paths show the sequence. Each node requires at least the level shown in-game for its predecessor; you don't need all five levels of every node to move on.

Offline rewards

Offline Credit and Offline Mastery unlock earnings while you're away. Each branch has an earning-rate node and a time-limit node. One level in the preceding node unlocks the next.

See hourly rates, limits, costs and how to receive your rewards in the Offline rewards guide.

The two automations

UPGRADEUnlockFurther upgrades
AUTOMATION520 Mastery; opens 1 crate every 7 eligible races.Conveyor has 4 levels and reduces the interval to 3 races.
AUTO-REPAIR700 Mastery; checks Condition against a 25% threshold.Readiness has 5 levels and raises the threshold to 50%.

Auto-repair needs enough Credit to cover the full cost. Without the funds, it won't run. Automatic opening needs a crate and a free Inventory slot.

When do upgrade effects apply?

Economic effects apply once the purchase is confirmed. Car effects apply to the next loadout formed for a race. Profile → Benefits shows your economic totals, including offline rates and limits. Offline upgrades apply to your next absence, not the payment for the one that just ended.

Some terminal nodes continue beyond the first five levels, with additional costs at each level. Other nodes are finite, such as Depot capacity and automatic-opening interval reductions. Check each description.
