Titan Mode: Your First 10 Hours

How to skip the early grind trap — smart ore processing order, when to buy the Auto-Smelter blueprint, and the cross-mod gate everyone misses.

Hour 0–2: settle, do not sprint

Set a /workshop home before you dig. Titan's early recipes reward a stable base over a fast one.

Hour 2–5: processing order

Process ore into dusts before you smelt — the yield multiplier is where Titan gives back the time it takes.

The gate everyone misses

Your first machine frame needs a magic-side component. Do not skip the altar; tech runs on magic here and magic runs on tech.

When to buy the Auto-Smelter blueprint

Around hour 5, once you have steady ore flow. Bought earlier it sits idle; bought later you have already suffered.
