Surviving the unforgiving terrain in The Alters demands strategic resource management and constructing shelters, with a unique twist: generating duplicate versions of your protagonist. These clones, called Alters, possess specialized skills and personal histories tailored for distinct responsibilities. Managing these variants becomes essential as your operations expand.

Creating Alters isn’t unlimited—each occupies predefined roles. Expansion requires unlocking additional slots, though the process involves specific challenges. This guide breaks down methods to expand your clone capacity.

Expanding Clone Capacity in The Alters

Upgrading the Quantum Computer’s Qubit Levels is critical for increasing your clone limit. Damaged Qubit Chips discovered during exploration in early game chapters enable progression. Each repaired chip boosts the Quantum Computer’s capabilities, permitting more Alter slots.

Note that these chips require restoration before integration. Post-repair, increased Qubit Levels accommodate additional clones. Continuous upgrades become necessary as base complexity grows, ensuring sufficient workforce for maintenance.

Crafting Additional Clones

Once Alter slots are unlocked, producing new clones consumes Rapidium—a mineral obtained through planetary excavation. Early-game restrictions limit Alter variety, but advanced slots permit specialized duplicates optimized for complex roles.
