How to Raise the Control Nexus Level
Complete 'Maintenance Progress'
To upgrade the Control Nexus, you must complete the sub-mission 'Maintenance Progress,' which becomes available as you progress through the main story. If the sub-mission is not yet unlocked, proceed with the main mission.
Maintenance Progress Walkthrough
Collect Materials at Recycling Stations
| Items to Level Up the Control Nexus | |
  Aerospace Material I | Obtained at Recycling Stations |
 Aerospace Material II | Obtained at Recycling Stations |
 Algorithm Expansion Chip | Main Mission Reward |
 T-Creds | From Daily Tasks, etc. |
Leveling up the Control Nexus consumes Aerospace Materials. You can gather these materials from Recycling Stations scattered across the map. Since they respawn after a certain amount of time, make sure to visit them periodically to maintain your stock.
Get Material II by Upgrading to Level 3
To obtain Aerospace Material II, you need to raise the level of the Recycling Station to 3. Upgrading the Recycling Station requires Stock Bills, so engage in Base Trading to collect Stock Bills.
Get Expansion Chips via Main Missions
Algorithm Expansion Chips are obtained by clearing specific main missions. Story progression is essential for leveling up the Control Nexus. If you haven't obtained them yet, focus on raising your Authority Level and advancing the main story.
Control Nexus Level Benefits
Unlock Manufacturing & Growth Cabins
Raising the Control Nexus level allows you to construct multiple Manufacturing Cabins and Growth Chambers while also increasing the level cap for all cabins. Level up the Control Nexus to fully unlock Dijiang's capabilities.
Raise Cabin Levels to Boost Production
When you raise the Control Nexus level, you can also upgrade the individual cabins. This allows you to assign more personnel to each facility and produce higher-tier Progression Materials, so don't forget to upgrade your cabin levels immediately after the Control Nexus.
Recommended Level-Up Order
| Cabin | Enhancement Priority |
| Growth Chamber | Priority: ★★★ - Cultivate Tune materials for characters and weapons. - Increase yields of daily limited materials. - Leveling up increases the total cultivation capacity. |
| Manufacturing Cabin I | Priority: ★★・ - Manufacture EXP materials for characters and weapons. - Leveling up unlocks higher-tier material production. |
| Manufacturing Cabin II | Priority: ★★・ - Unlocked at Control Nexus Level 3. - Production items are identical to Manufacturing Cabin I. |
| Reception Room | Priority: ★・・ - Perform Intel Exchange to obtain FP. - Leveling up increases Clue collection efficiency. |
The Growth Chamber is the top priority because upgrading it increases your batch cultivation size. For the Manufacturing Cabin and Reception Room, increasing the assigned operator count boosts production efficiency, so you should level them up as soon as possible.
