TCU : RE-CODE TCU resource planner

Resources are the lobby currency that gates almost every Toilet Collapsed Universe progress spike: banners, shop skins, and a chunk of upgrade friction. This planner turns the public rates into spend plans you can run before you queue another mode or paste another code. Figures below describe the legacy place that is playable today. TCU : RE-CODE is still an upcoming rebuild; do not assume these numbers copy into the new experience until FStudio republishes them.

Use this page with the codes hub, the tools hub, and the unit tier list. If you were about to inject Auto Farm just to fund one banner, read the math first — TheLastAct already covers dozens of pulls. RecodeIsSoon is unconfirmed.

Banner and mode baseline

Sink / source	Resources	Extra
Banner summon	120	Standard / Refined style pulls
Easy Mode clear	240	10 waves, 2 Toilet Souls
Medium Mode clear	500	15 waves, 4 Toilet Souls
Boss Rush clear	600	27+ waves

Quick conversions:

• 1 banner ≈ half an Easy clear bonus, or roughly a quarter of a Medium clear bonus, ignoring kill Resources during the run.
• 10 banners = 1,200 Resources ≈ five Easy clears, or about two Medium clears plus a little leftover.
• RecodeIsSoon (quoted 10,000–15,000; unconfirmed) would have been ≈ 83–125 banners if Config still paid — treat it as historical, see expired codes.
• TheLastAct (5,000) ≈ 41 banners.
• TCU (600) ≈ five banners exactly.

Redeem order and Config steps live on how to redeem. If a string dies, move it mentally to expired codes and stop planning around it.

Weekend multipliers — what actually doubles

Weekend events are where planners earn their keep. The rules players rely on:

• 2x banner luck applies to legendary, mythic, and ultra outcomes only. Commons and rares do not get a fantasy 2x.
• 1.5x material drop luck boosts material finds during play.
• 2x Resources from kills boosts kill payouts only.
• Mode-clear bonuses (the 240 / 500 / 600 table above) are not doubled by the kill multiplier.
• Glitch spawn Resources are not included in the 2x kill rule.

Practical plan: redeem codes whenever you see them, but delay banner spending until the weekend if your goal is legs, mythics, or ultras. Keep grinding kills during the event because those Resources stretch farther. Do not expect Easy Mode’s flat 240 clear bonus to become 480 just because it is Saturday.

Online co-op with a partner unit still helps clear speed on Medium and Boss Rush. The planner does not change partner DPS — it only tells you whether the Resource reward justifies another run. Pair with how to play and Hard Mode if clears are the bottleneck instead of currency.

Kleiner material buyback sheet

Kleiner in the lobby converts spare materials into Resources. Use these buy prices when a farm or weekend drop floods your inventory:

Material	Resources
Blue Core	5
Red Core	10
Purple Core	100
Armor 1	15
Armor 2	20
Armor 3	25
Armor 4	30
Armor 5	100
USB	700
Memory Pieces	1750
Astral Gun	45
Astral Interceptor Helmet	55
Astral Impactor / Destructor Cannon	500
Astral Camcorder Gun / Sniper	75
Broken Tracking Device	3000
Astral Gravitron Arm	10000

Examples:

• One USB funds almost six banners (700 ÷ 120 ≈ 5.8).
• One Memory Pieces sale funds fourteen banners (1750 ÷ 120 ≈ 14.5).
• One Broken Tracking Device funds twenty-five banners.
• One Astral Gravitron Arm funds eighty-three banners — sell it only if you are sure you will not need the part for a build you care about on legacy.

If you are chasing UTCM upgrades or other titan protocols, check those pages before you liquidate rare astral parts. Titan cosmetics tied to Titan Trio are especially sensitive under Recode migration rumors — do not sell parts you still need for a protocol you intend to finish on legacy, and do not buy cosmetics the rebuild will not restore. Read Recode migration.

Beginner spend path (Genesis first)

A fresh account that redeems TheLastAct + TCU sits on 5,600 Resources before the first toilet dies. RecodeIsSoon is unconfirmed and not part of that total. Do not dump that into Standard Camera banners.

Recommended order:

1. Redeem every live code from the codes hub.
2. Run one Easy Mode so controls feel familiar.
3. Pull Verdict of the Void for the Genesis line (Scientist Screen Ultra and friends) — the beginner banner this wiki recommends.
4. Park leftover Resources for weekend 2x banner luck instead of Tuesday panic summons.
5. Convert junk cores at Kleiner only after you know you do not need them for early crafts.

For roster targets after those pulls, use the unit tier list, titan tier list, and how to get units. Partner goals such as Astro Polycephaly are badge-gated progression, not banner math — keep that account clean if you also dabble in the scripts hub.

Auto Farm versus planner math

Auto Farm v12 can print Resources and push routes such as X-18 cubes when it works on G-4.0. It does not change banner cost or Kleiner prices. Before you inject on an alt, estimate whether two Medium clears (1,000 Resources from clear bonuses alone, plus kills) already buy the banners you wanted. If yes, skip the executor. If you still inject, follow executor setup and the auto farm risk notes — never on the main that holds your badges.

Recode caveat for hoarders

Resources spent or stored on legacy do not automatically appear in TCU : RE-CODE. The rebuild is a separate upcoming experience with a partial wipe narrative. Plan legacy spending for fun and for badge partners you expect to keep, not for a fantasy wallet transfer. Watch the Recode update page and the official Trello when economy rates for the new place are announced; until then, this planner is a legacy tool only.

When numbers change, this page is the single sheet to re-read before you trust an old YouTube “120 per banner” short. Bookmark it beside Config, and recompute after every major Mini Update instead of assuming last month’s Boss Rush still pays 600.
