What Are Rocket Launches?
Rocket launches are a feature that lets you send spacecraft on missions. These missions return with valuable rewards like artifacts, golden eggs, and other bonuses that fuel late-game progression.
They become available once you’ve reached mid-game egg types and have invested in the required research.
How to Launch Rockets
- Unlock the Rocket Facility via research.
- Select a rocket mission based on its duration and potential rewards.
- Send rockets and wait for their return.
Missions vary in length—short missions are quick but yield modest rewards, while long missions provide more valuable loot.
Rocket Rewards Explained
Rocket missions can return:
- Artifacts: The primary source of rare artifacts.
- Golden Eggs: Occasionally rewarded from successful missions.
- Miscellaneous Boosts: Time boosts and bonuses.
Artifacts are the most important, as they directly enhance farm performance.
Tips for Maximizing Rocket Missions
- Always Keep Rockets Active: Idle rockets mean wasted time.
- Balance Short and Long Missions: Run long missions overnight, shorter ones during active play.
- Upgrade Research: Research reduces rocket cooldowns and improves reward rates.
- Prioritize Artifact Missions: The earlier you farm artifacts, the faster you’ll scale.
Late-Game Rocket Strategy
In late game, rockets are almost exclusively about artifact farming. Legendary artifacts are rare but critical, so the more missions you run, the better your odds. Running rockets continuously is one of the best long-term investments.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Forgetting to restart missions after completion.
- Neglecting research, leading to slower mission turnover.
- Focusing only on short missions and missing out on bigger rewards.
Final Thoughts
Rocket launches are a cornerstone of mid- and late-game progression in Egg, Inc. By sending rockets continuously, balancing mission durations, and prioritizing artifact rewards, you’ll maximize efficiency and build a stronger farm with every launch.
