# Automation Guide: Clickers and Auto-Upgrades in Noob Incremental
Welcome to the ultimate guide for automating your progress in Noob Incremental. Whether you're tired of clicking manually or want to optimize your idle gains, this guide covers every automation tool available, from basic auto clickers to advanced upgrade sequences. By the end, you'll know exactly how to set up a system that earns resources even while you sleep.
What Is Automation in Noob Incremental?
Automation in Noob Incremental refers to any feature that performs actions for you: clicking, buying upgrades, collecting resources, or progressing through content without manual input. Automation is the key to scaling from early game to endgame. It lets you focus on strategy while the game runs itself.
There are two main categories:
- **Auto Clickers**: Tools that simulate clicks on the main button or specific targets.
- **Auto-Upgrades**: Systems that automatically purchase upgrades, buildings, or abilities based on your rules.
Both become essential as you approach the mid-game and are critical for prestige loops and idle progression.
Unlocking Automation
Automation features unlock gradually as you progress. Here’s the typical unlock order:
1. The First Auto Clicker
You’ll get your first auto clicker after completing the **Early Game** achievements. Look for the "Auto Clicker I" upgrade in the main shop. It costs 10,000 coins and adds one automatic click every second. This is your starting point.
2. Basic Auto-Upgrade Module
After reaching level 5 in the main skill, you unlock the **Auto-Upgrade Lab**. Here, you can build a module that automatically purchases the cheapest available upgrade every 5 seconds. The lab costs 50,000 coins and requires 1,000 energy cells.
3. Advanced Automation Lab
At level 20, the Advanced Automation Lab appears. It lets you customize conditions: “Buy upgrade X if I have more than Y coins” or “Activate click combo when idle for 2 minutes.” This is where real power begins.
Types of Auto Clickers
Noob Incremental offers several auto clickers. Each has different speeds and effects:
| Auto Clicker | Unlock Cost | Clicks per Second | Special Effect | |--------------|-------------|-------------------|----------------| | Basic Clicker | 10,000 coins | 1 | None | | Energized Clicker | 100,000 coins | 3 | 5% chance to double click | | Quantum Clicker | 1M coins | 5 | 10% chance to triple click | | Chrono Clicker | 10M coins | 8 | Reduces upgrade cooldowns by 1% per click | | Supernova Clicker | 100M coins | 12 | 2% chance to trigger a golden click that gives 10x resources |
**Pro Tip**: Stack auto clickers. You can have multiple active at once. Each one adds its clicks to the total. Prioritize the Energized Clicker early because its double-click chance compounds with other multipliers.
Configuring Auto-Upgrades
Auto-upgrades are not just "buy everything automatically." You need to configure priorities to avoid wasting resources. Here are the common upgrade categories you’ll want to automate:
Essential Upgrades to Auto-Buy
1. **Basic Resource Multipliers** – These boost all production. Set them as top priority. 2. **Click Value Upgrades** – Increases coins per click. Auto buy these when available. 3. **Energy Generation** – Keep energy production running to fuel auto-upgrade modules. 4. **Prestige Support** – Upgrades that reduce prestige cooldown or increase prestige currency.
Conditional Rules
Use the Advanced Automation Lab to create rules:
- If coins > 1M, buy the most expensive upgrade available.
- If energy cells < 500, switch to energy purchases only.
- Every 10 minutes, activate a manual prestige (if you have the auto prestige upgrade).
Synergies Between Clickers and Upgrades
Automation becomes powerful when auto clickers and auto-upgrades work together. For example:
- Auto clickers generate coins -> auto-upgrades buy multipliers -> multipliers increase click value -> more coins per click. This loop grows exponentially.
The Idle Profit Loop
1. Auto clicker accumulates coins. 2. Auto-upgrade buys “Coin Harvest” upgrades (increase coin gain by 5% per harvest). 3. Harvest upgrade also boosts click power. 4. More clicks lead to faster upgrades.
Set this loop by enabling “Autobuy Coin Harvest” in the Auto-Upgrade Lab. For best results, also activate the “Click Booster” auto clicker during idle periods.
Unlocking Prestige Automation
Prestige resets your progress but gives permanent bonuses. Automating prestige is a game-changer. You need:
- **Auto-Prestige System**: Unlocked at level 30 after earning 50 prestige points.
- **Resource Threshold**: Set a minimum coin amount before auto-prestige triggers.
- **Cooldown Timer**: Default is 2 hours. Reduce it with the “Prestige Cooldown Reduction” upgrade.
**Suggested Settings**:
- Trigger prestige when coins exceed 10B.
- Only prestige if current run time > 30 minutes.
- After prestige, automatically buy the cheapest 10 upgrades.
Optimizing for Active vs. Idle Play
Active Play (You’re at the keyboard)
- Use auto clickers to supplement your manual clicking.
- Turn off auto-prestige to control resets.
- Focus on manual activation of golden clicks and combos.
Idle Play (Away from game)
- Maximize auto clicker speed and number.
- Enable auto-prestige with a high threshold to avoid losing progress too soon.
- Prioritize upgrades that increase idle production (e.g., “Idle Efficiency” upgrades).
Advanced Strategies
Click Combo Automation
Click combos are sequences of clicks that grant temporary bonuses. You can auto-trigger combos with the “Combo Initiator” upgrade (unlocked at level 25). Set it to run the “Double Coins” combo when idle for 5 minutes. This gives a 2x multiplier for 30 seconds, which auto clickers can exploit.
Resource Balancing
Auto-upgrades can drain resources if not balanced. Use the **Resource Manager** (unlocked with 100K energy cells) to set caps:
- Keep at least 10% of coins reserved.
- Never spend more than 50% of energy on auto-upgrades.
- Maintain a minimum of 1,000 energy cells for emergency clicks.
Automation for Events
Noob Incremental has weekly events with special currencies. Create a separate auto-upgrade profile for events:
- Buy event-specific upgrades first.
- Use auto clickers on the event boss (if available).
- Set event resource thresholds to avoid wasting regular currency.
Common Mistakes
- **Buying everything**: Auto-upgrades that buy all available upgrades can drain resources needed for prestige. Always set a minimum reserve.
- **Ignoring cooldowns**: Auto clickers have cooldowns on special effects (like golden clicks). Don’t rely solely on them for burst income.
- **Overlapping mods**: Some auto clicker mods conflict. Check the tooltip before equipping two clickers with the same effect.
Recommended Automation Build Order for New Players
1. Buy Basic Auto Clicker (10K coins). 2. Get Basic Auto-Upgrade Module (50K coins). 3. Unlock Energized Clicker (100K coins). 4. Build Advanced Automation Lab (level 20). 5. Configure conditional rules for resource management. 6. Unlock Auto-Prestige (level 30). 7. Add Quantum Clicker (1M coins). 8. Maximize idle production with upgrades. 9. Set up event automation (level 35+).
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use multiple auto clickers?
Yes! You can have up to 5 auto clickers active simultaneously. Each occupies a slot. Unlock slots with the “Clicker Slot Expansion” upgrade (available at level 15).
Do auto-upgrades work during prestige?
No, auto-upgrades only function during a run. After prestige, you must wait for the game to start again. Auto-prestige will automate the reset and initial purchases.
What’s the best auto clicker for idle?
Chrono Clicker is best for idle because its cooldown reduction helps auto-upgrades cycle faster. Combine with Supernova Clicker for occasional gold clicks.
How do I disable automation?
Go to Settings > Automation and toggle each feature off. You can also set hotkeys (default: Ctrl+Shift+A to toggle all automation).
Conclusion
Mastering automation in Noob Incremental transforms the game from a clickfest into a strategic idle experience. Start with basic clickers and upgrades, then gradually unlock advanced systems. Remember to configure rules to avoid waste, and always balance active and idle play. With the right setup, you’ll see exponential growth and reach endgame content faster than ever.
