A restart in Roblox Tower Incremental—developed by Lucky CStudios—occurs when you trigger a Rebirth to trade your current staircase climb and temporary wallet for permanent resource multipliers and milestone progression. Resetting wipes your stair height and unbanked soft currencies, but retaining certain mechanics through the Permanent Upgrades room prevents you from having to restart entirely from scratch.
How Rebirth and Restarting Works
In Tower Incremental, climbing the central staircase requires exponentially more Gold per step. Once stair costs outpace your active income from mining, smelting, and glyph rolling, you must access designated Rebirth rooms situated along the tower to trigger a run reset.
When you confirm a prestige restart, the system resets your physical stair climb back to the ground level or to the highest protected floor tier unlocked by your Rebirth level. In return, you receive multiplicative boosts to basic currencies (such as Gold, Silver, and Iron) that accelerate future climbs.
Gameplay footage and update notes record several key Rebirth tiers along the tower:
| Milestone | Floor Requirement | Approximate Unlock Cost | Multipliers Granted | Floor Save Protection |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rebirth 1 | Floor 16 | 1 Billion to 2 Billion Gold | 40x Gold, 3x Silver, 3x Iron | Saves no floors (resets to base) |
| Rebirth 2 | Floor 36 | ~1.9 Trillion Gold | 80x Gold, 10x Silver, 10x Iron | Saves Floors 1 through 20 |
| Rebirth 3 | Floor 56–57 | Documented in quadrillions | 8x+ Gold, 3x Silver, 10x Iron (stacks) | Saves Floors 1 through 40 |
| Rebirth 4 | Floor ~60+ | Documented in late-game currency | Multiplier increase | Saves Floors 1 through 60 |
| Rebirth 5 | Floor ~80 | Documented in quintillions | Multiplier increase | Saves Floors 1 through 80 |
| Rebirth 6 | Floor 100 | Documented in octillions / DC | Multiplier increase | Saves Floors 1 through 100 |
Exact live numbers can scale slightly across patch revisions, but the structural ladder remains identical: each rebirth increases resource multipliers and extends floor-retention checkpoints.
What Resets vs. What You Keep
Triggering a restart removes active staircase construction and temporary production unless specifically protected. Checking the Rebirth confirmation modal before pressing confirm reveals exactly which assets survive.
What Resets
- Physical Staircases: Built steps reset back to Floor 1 or your maximum saved floor checkpoint.
- Unprotected Upgrade Boards: Base boards on lower levels clear unless protected by a Permanent Upgrade purchase.
- Floor-Gated Room Unlocks: Unlocked utility doors above your saved floor threshold re-lock until climbed again.
What Stays
- Purchased Permanent Upgrades: Any upgrade bought using Iron, Crystals, or Wood in the Permanent Upgrades chambers remains active forever.
- Protected Glyphs: Lava glyphs and boards locked into permanent status stay preserved between runs.
- Equipped Trails: Trails purchased from the standard shop, iron/crystal merchants, or unlocked via the collection system remain in your inventory.
- Active Shop Potions: Timed potion buffs purchased from the Merchant (such as 1.5x Gold or resource potions) persist through a restart for their remaining duration.
Essential Checklist Before You Restart
Prestiging prematurely without safeguarding critical mechanics makes your next climb unnecessarily tedious. Run through these steps before stepping onto the Rebirth pad:
- Visit the Permanent Upgrades Room: Always locate the nearest Permanent Upgrade station before rebirthing. Use surplus Iron, Crystals, or Wood to buy board locks (such as keeping Upgrade Board 1 or 2, and preventing Lava/Water glyphs from resetting).
- Cap Active Glyph Rolling: Spend leftover Gold to roll your current highest-tier glyphs. If you have already secured the permanent upgrade for that glyph category, those rolled multipliers boost your early income immediately after the restart.
- Spend Stored Resources: Unspent currencies and power can be converted into Permanent Upgrades or affordable upgrades right up until the reset.
- Refresh Merchant Potions: Because active potion timers carry across restarts, top off your 10-to-60 minute boosts right before wiping the board to speed up early floor rebuilding.
Fast Rebuild Route After a Restart
Once you restart at Floor 1 or your floor checkpoint, follow this sequence to restore peak income quickly:
- Auto-Run the Protected Stairs: Re-climb through your saved floors instantly or toggle auto-run to bridge the cheap stair levels.
- Re-engage Mining and Smelting: Head straight to the Mine to mine Silver and Iron. Activate auto-deposit and auto-mining upgrades so Iron flows steadily into the Smeltery conveyor belt.
- Re-roll Higher-Tier Glyphs: If your glyph boards did not carry over, stand in your highest unlocked glyph circle (such as Water, Poison, or Wind) to regenerate base multipliers.
- Re-fund the Upgrade Tree: Allocate fresh ingots back into bulk smelting, pickaxe speed, and resource yield within the Upgrade Tree to push past your previous floor wall.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I climb past a certain floor in Tower Incremental?
Certain sections of the tower—such as Floor 16, Floor 36, and Floor 56—feature hard roadblock doors that explicitly require Rebirth 1, Rebirth 2, or Rebirth 3 to pass. If a door refuses to open despite having sufficient Gold, check the door plaque to verify the required Rebirth rank.
Do shop potions disappear when I restart?
No. In-game player tests show that timed elixir buffs bought from the floor Merchants (such as 1.5x Gold and resource potions) remain active across prestige restarts until their duration timers expire.
