Custom PC Tycoon Progression Checklist

Tick the gates that block sheds, desks, and Sunstone so you stop skipping cheap pads.

Progression Checklist

This checklist is the memory file for a tycoon that hides gates in furniture prices. Community records say later shed upgrades expect the podium row to be complete. Skipping the 1,000 Cash pad is how players think the game is “stuck.” Tick items as you unlock them. The browser stores the ticks locally.

Read getting started once, then keep this page open.

Progression checklist

Tick items as you unlock them. Progress stays in this browser.

Podiums (Cash)

Desks (Gold)

Shops and converts

Secrets and codes

How to use the list

Work top to bottom. Do not tick a desk because you saw the stairs. Tick it when the furniture is bought and a complete setup is placed. Desks and servers explains the difference.

Podium prices on the list are community records: free, 200, 1,000, 5,000, 10,000, 50,000, 200,000, 500,000 Cash. If a live pad disagrees after a patch, trust the pad and tell us via the habit of checking the changelog.

After the last tick

You are not done. Endgame is a row-rebuild problem, not a checklist problem. Move to the endgame tier list and how to get Sunstone. Keep using the income calculator when two mythical parts cost the same pile.

Make money for the why. Currencies for converts. Secret parts for the three pickups on the list. Codes for the redeem tick. Links if you want official patch talk instead of a fan list.

Using the list after a rejoin

Walk the lot with the checklist open. Untick anything you thought you owned. A desk without peripherals is not done. A converter you never used is not done. A secret you walked past but did not pick up is not done.

When the last podium ticks, do not delete the list. Keep it as a weekly audit after changelog drops. New sets do not erase old gates. They add SKUs on top. The Sunstone climb still expects this foundation.

Cheap pads are the whole point

The 200 and 1,000 Cash podiums look insulting next to a Diamond GPU. They are still the highest return you will click this week. Tick them. Place complete PCs. Then brag.

If a live price disagrees, change the tick, not the habit. The make money guide explains why later sheds care. The changelog is where we note a price change if Fallen Worlds moves one.

Treat unchecked secrets as optional after podium four, not before. The 4TB RAM will not save an empty lot. Tick codes first, pads second, desks third, converts fourth. That order matches getting started and make money. If you enjoy lists, you will enjoy this one more when it is short. Buy the cheap gates until it is short. Then use the income calculator for the leftover arguments.

Clearing the list is not a flex. It is a repair job. Players who skip ticks invent stories about the game being stuck. Untick, walk, buy, place, tick. Repeat until the cheap Cash row is boring. Boring pads are how Custom PC Tycoon accounts get rich.

If you play on two devices, pick one browser as the source of truth. The ticks do not sync. A phone that shows a blank list is not a reset of the game. It is a reset of localStorage. Walk the lot anyway.

The secrets row is a bonus, not a boss. If Isabel is missing after a map change, leave the box empty and play. Come back with secret parts when you are already earning. A checklist that makes you wander for an hour has failed its job.

When every cheap Cash pad is ticked, the list gets quiet on purpose. That quiet is the signal to open the income calculator and the endgame tier list. The checklist has finished its job.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common questions.

Do the podium prices ever change?

They can. The list uses community records. If a live pad differs after a patch, trust the pad.

Where is the checklist saved?

In this browser only. Another device starts blank.

Should I tick a desk before I fill it?

Tick when the desk is bought and a complete setup is placed. Empty furniture is not progress.

Is Sunstone on the checklist?

The converter and NextGen shop are. The grind after that is a row-rebuild, covered in the Sunstone guide.
