BEFORE I START I WOULD CONSIDER THE BASE WITHOUT ANY ARENA SHOP UPGRADES
I WILL CONSIDER THE BASE MAXED OUT
THE PRICES ARE MERGED WITH THE UPGRADE COST
ALSO I WILL USE THE COMMON METHOD TO UPGRADE POWERKITS IF YOU KNOW THEN YOU KNOW
SHORT ANSWER
common for patient players or those who are low on gol
common with chance of rare is for those who think they are lucky
floor made of floor method is for those who are in rush
LONG ANSWER
i have tested every item crafting in the base and found the best ways to upgrade in game
if you are low on gold best option best option is common normal because: its cheap its fast enough it only takes 1000 gold to craft and 20 of it to max out one common power kit which with calculating it only take 63k of gold to make one maxed out rare kit        2.if you have a good amount of gold (5M 2 7M) then you better choose common with chance of rare without any modifiction (speed up,price) because
it takes 3.5k with chance of rare which my friend is a good deal because to max out one common kit it takes 4 rare items and 2 common whcih is a great thing to be honest you can also modify it as you want whether the speed or the price depending on you        3.now if you have a stupid amount of gold (UP TO 20M) then this is for you and its by far the weirdest
basicly you craft 400 power kit you take one common kit and boost it using commom kits it only takes 23 kits (including the kits that you are boosting) to max out one rare kit which in the end in the day (literally) will give you over 12 rare power kit which is more than enough to max out one mythical item in conclusion
(all the following is with the 4 factories used and crafted 400 item)
if you are a newbie or a player who isnot in rush or even a top rank player so its better to go for commom normal (yes its that good) cause it only takes 600k of gold in total to craft 4 rare maxed out kits in one day (which is enough to max out one legendary item or 2 epic items) and 3 days with 1.8 million to get over 12 maxed rare power kits (thats enough to max out one mytical item)
if you think yourself lucky with some decent amount of gold (we all know how drop rates work here right ?) you can go for common chance of rare to speed up the prograss
but honestly i think common is better
now for the best
if you are really in rush (i dont know how and why) you can craft 400 power kits FOR PLAYERS WHO ARE SETTING ON GOLD FORTUNE
it only takes 2.4M (with the 4 factories) to make OVER 15 RARE MAXED POWER KIT (thats enough to max one mythical item with 1 legendary item) be careful that this will eat up all your gold
and to compare between common and kits
to make 12 rare power kits from common it takes 750 item which means 750k of gold with 2 days
while with kits it takes 276 kits which means1.6M gold
basicly kits is 2 times faster and more expensive than common
so common is cheap but slow while kits is fast but expensive
so common for patient players or those who are low on gol
common with chance of rare is for those who think they are lucky
floor made of floor method is for those who are in rush
also from some reason the cheap version of common is more expiensive than the normal one (please alex fix it)

quick rundown for beginners:
step 1 
resource management
be efficient on your resources since they are limited
you will get powerkits, items, gold, tokens, and fuel

-powerkits you will want to level up to max but not transform
-items you will only want to level up ones that go to mythic. items that dont go to mythic that are worth keeping are repulsors iron plates and savior resistance module
A common torso to start out with is nightmare if you have wendigo, you can start with that. premium items you always keep. NEVER FOOD PREMIUM ITEMS
another note when leveling up items is to level them up all at the same speed. generally speaking maxing a single item at a time is inefficent due to 
diminishing gains; ie the great amount of power you use to level up an item as it reaches its max level isnt improving the item as much as it could
improve another item. That power would be better spent on that other item and you can level them all up gradually.

- spend gold to upgrade transform and work on your base
-tokens should be saved for offers. ideally 2k offers in the beginning, eventually moving to maybe 3k offers for
specific items
-fuel you should use often, spend on campaign

try to farm campaign highest level you can but ideally overlord den 8 insane eventually
you need a mech for that. you got options depending on what items you have

double malice (good for arena and campaign)
boiler (ideally flaminator + savagery) (great for campaign and raid)
double frantic (good for arena, moderately good for campaign)

step 2 level up your base!
base is incredibly important, especially in the long run.
level up your gold mines as high as you can then level up HQ. Don't
worry about leveling up your item factories, the most efficientitem to craft
is commons at level 1 anyways

(next step could be arena or raid but arena is where we have fun mostly)
step 3 arena!
in arena depending on the items you have you can build different mech setups
some solid ones are as follows

double malice (minimal epic items needed 1 for shotgun 1 for drone 6-7 for mods)
        8-9 epics total *could use 1 more epic for an emp eventually*
    due to poor mods on most other mechs it will do well
double desolation (minimal epic needed 2 for desolations 1 for drone 4 for mods needed)
        7 epics total *could use 1 more for a res drainer*
    due to only heat stats really needed great for minimal arena shop bonuses
supreme cannon desolation (moderate epics needed 1 for desolation 1 for supreme cannon 1 for shotgun 1 for drone 6 for mods)
        10 epics total *could use 1 more for res drainer*
    great for pushing most mechs out of the comfortable 3-6 range
double brute (moderate epics 2 for brute 1 for shotgun 1 for drone 6 for mods)
        10 epics total
    great high damage due to terrible resistance for beginners

*notable exclusion*
flaminator dawnblaze (although it only requires 3 epics for dawnblaze shotgun and drone the mods needed for it to work in higher ranks
are mostly premium mods)

for arena shop just focus on your element damage of your mech and resistance and hp
also dont worry about dropping ranks. good arena rewards dont come until much later so the rewards for upt to rank 10
are all pretty bland. just worry about the arena shop coins for your daily 5 wins.
step 4 raid:
coming towards the end of the game not much depth will be provided for this since this is for beginning
keep your 7 heatbombs heat engines flamethrowers*premium* cooling boosters heat drones 
flaminator and savagery.
2 heatbomb flaminator and savagery will get you decent scores for low raid anyways

add an exclamation mark on raid icon so that players remember to attack

you are welcome. Sadly, is not as used to be. Before tons of players used to give support but we lose them in particular when change the forum to this one. To use it is harder in a phone and before was friendly user. 
Also, the real deal of the real experts of the game are part of those no longer making contributions and few around from that era rarely say something. 
Tho, some from back there still help a bit time to time. In my case sometimes I can but normally is hard for me because I normally do this in my break if I see something or passing days. 🤷‍♂️
Yes, basic is the basic and understanding that it helps a lot. I learned on my own making my own mistakes and testing when was able to have few parts around. 🤗
Just have fun and do not get upset and follow bad comments around that sometimes happen. Focus on your own development and do not look others great parts possessions or envy. Soon you can be very powerful. I have some friends around that started after me and now they are monsters kicking my butt. 🤣

yea iam thinking to upgrade nightmare, and ig after upgrading my hq it will be easier to get modules as you can create epic modules. thanks for your help never seen such a supportive community 

btw should i make a new account and try again?
 
 
thank for your help 🙇🙇 i will work on modules for now. 
iam trying to get corrupt light electric version because i think its a good energy weapon i see a lot of players using that, but my luck is just too bad
 

Disclaimer: this was done by me after several testings and wasted gold  and utilize power kits
This guide is made to show how to use the base the most effcient way in order to speed up your progress
For this guide i will seperate it for 3 categories: early game,midgame,endgame
Early game for early game you want to rush the base and get 2 factories then choose the first item crafting (the common one that you have at level one)
Craft about 200 items (100 for each factory) then you want to save them for power kits
Explanation: Kits are items that grants a huge boost when used for upgrading items and the higher their level the better
Now 1 common power kits requires 19 common items to max out which is far better when you use those items directly
Now this method is best if you manage to get power kits but if you cant you can use anyway
COST:200K and takes 1 day                                        PAYOUT:RNG dependent
        2. Mid game (the overall best)
now for mid game you need to have 1 level 15 factory to unlock power kits and have 3 level 1 factories
craft 100 power kits and 300 common items (again the first one)
use 57 items to get 3 maxed common kits (19 items each) then use 5 common items to get a power kit at level 5
you will then use those to max out 1 rare power kit like this:
After you run out of common items craft another 400 common items
Explanation: rare power kits are a much stronger version than the common ones and with this method you get 5 maxed rare kits which is huge because you need :
1 maxed rare kit + level 17  rare power kits to max 1 epic
4 maxed rare power kits to max 1 non premium legendary
5 maxed rare power kits to max 1 premium legendary
4 maxed rare power kits to max 1 non premium legendary
13,5 maxed rare power kits to max 1 premium methyical
12 maxed rare power kits to max 1 non premium methyical
With method you can get 2 legendaries in the first day plus 3 more in the second day which mean you can get 1 mythical item in 2 days
COST:2300K and takes 2 days                                        PAYOUT:5 MAXED RARE POWER KITS PER DAY
        End game (the fastest)
for this you will need 4 level 15 factories for power kits
Craft 400 power kits
Same method in mid game but here we will use 6 common kits to max 1 common kit(this works for all rarities so 6 rare power kits to max 1 rare power kit) then we will use 1 kit to get another one to level 5
Then use these to max 1 rare kit
Explanation: there is a hidden mechanic in this game where if you use items from a type (like legs) to upgrade an item from the same type (which will be legs) you get extra power when upgrading the item and this mechanic works with different rarities on top of it all this bonus gets bigger the more items you have here is an example:
As you can see a common power kit has 1200 boost power but because i am using a power kit to boost a power kits (which both are the same type) i got extra 120 power and it works with all rarities like this for example:
Again a rare power kit is only 6000 power but since i added extra 2 i got 1800 extra power
So basically for each item in the same type you use you get extra 10% of its power
And this what makes this method the best since this what makes you use few kits to max a rare kit
With this method you get 21 maxed rare power kits
COST:2400K (a little more expensive but faster than mid game method) and takes 1 day and 7 hours       PAYOUT:21 MAXED RARE POWER KITS AKA 10 LEGENDARIES
