Project P.I.T.T. Progression: What to Do Next

Project P.I.T.T. never posts objectives. The facility moves when you feed The Maw enough and keep buying unlocks — so “what do I do next?” almost always has the same answer: make more money, spend all of it. Here is the phase-by-phase version.

The four phases

Phase	Product	What changes
1	Rubber Ducks	Press, broom, fans, first Automater, cash register unlock
2	Cash Registers	The pit grows; registers out-earn ducks
3	Piñatas	Bat + candy; phase transition drops rubble on old builds
4	Anomalies	Reality-bending tools, assembly, the late economy

Each new phase’s product replaces the last as the money engine. Keep your lane, swap the input — the automation guide has the standard shapes.

”Nothing is happening” checklist

Is everything in the terminal bought? Grey items still need a feed or exploration gate; everything else, buy. New machines also light up the dark outer rooms.
Are you feeding the current phase’s product? Ducks past Phase 1 are nostalgia, not income.
Is the combo alive during dumps? Singles don’t move the counter meaningfully.
Did a phase change bury your factory? Rebuild with the newer fans — they can push debris into the pit.

The mid-game gate

Somewhere in Phase 2–3 you’ll find the upstairs layer: three fuses → the 200 kg platform → the percent pipe. Two things about it:

It is the hidden spine, not the main quest. The main floor progresses on feed volume alone.
The percent pipe reading 0% on ducks is intended. It counts higher-quality items for significantly more — come back with later-phase or assembled products. Several players report Anomalies as the reliable food for it; the game itself never names the requirement, so treat “better products move it more” as the rule.

Late game

Phase 4 adds assembly: parts snap together, and those assembled objects are what the upstairs pipes actually want. From there the remaining goals are the completionist ones — combo x300, 400 products/min, 15,000 lifetime fed, one trillion dollars, buy-everything — all covered with methods on the achievements page, and the two-stage finale on the endings page.

Money benchmarks

The trillion-dollar achievement exists, so the economy is meant to go vertical. If you’re grinding linearly, you’re missing a multiplier: combo bonuses, chains/strikes, better products, or the gambling-crate lucky ducks. Crate prices climb the more you buy — they’re a bonus, not a business model.
