Star Trek Lower Decks Beginners Guide and Tips

Let’s talk about the actual gameplay of Star Trek Lower Decks. We have different simulations in the game. Players control simulations; after a specific time, these simulations reward us with merit points.

The merit points are later used to increase the number of workers that work in simulation sites. You can also use these merit points to begin a new simulation. There are many simulation sites in this game. We have provided the list below:

  • cue courtroom
  • planet of origin
  • Sector 31 Chip
  • kaminar
  • Risa
  • shuttle bay
  • cadassian interrogation room
  • Chateau Picard
  • borg cube
  • Killingan Ascension Rite
  • cube wrap

To increase the number of merit points you earn from simulation sites, you must hire Holo crews. The holo crews will boost the simulation sites and improve the merit points’ production. When you hire Holo crews, you earn rewards like Grant chips, Di lithium, etc. Don’t forget these points, as merit points are crucial to level up in this game.

Simulations Upgradation

So now you know how simulations work and how you can earn merit points and increase the production of merit points. Now, it’s time to talk about upgrading these simulations.

Do you know that upgrading simulations will also increase the production of merit points? Yes, it is true. When you upgrade the simulations, you can get more merit points. 

To upgrade simulations, you need simulation chips and Di lithium. You can earn those chips in different ways, which are discussed later in the article. If you are a beginner in this game, focus on upgrading the simulations.

As you play the game, you will get an idea of which simulations give more merit points. To upgrade a simulation in Star Trek Lower Decks, follow the below steps:

  • Launch Star Trek Lower Decks
  • In the game, you can see a tool icon, tap on it.
  • All the available simulations will appear on your screen.
  • You can upgrade the simulation if you have enough simulation chips and Di lithium chips.
  • Tap on the Upgrade button, and the simulation will be upgraded.
