Alignment Recovery
How to Change Your Alignment
Perks change future normal Karma settlements. Selecting a new Perk does not instantly rewrite the stored value.
Move toward Protector
Select Protector Perks and complete normal Karma settlements. Verify +34 or higher before the final Data push.

Is It Too Late to Change My Ending?
| Current Stage | Flexibility |
|---|---|
| Chapter 1 | Very easy to change |
| Chapter 2 | Easy |
| Chapter 3 | Still very flexible |
| Ch4 before 30.2M | Flexible |
| Ch4 after 30.2M | Final adjustment window |
| Near 43.5M | High risk |
| Ending already saved | Too late for that run |

Use the 30.2M → 43.5M window to finalize AI Perks and Karma. At Chapter 3 Lv.7, all Rational rows pull ±100 to ±25 in one normal settlement; with all eight Chapter 4 rows, fully aligned movement reaches 105.

Diagnosis
Why Did I Get the Wrong Ending?
Choose the symptom to get the shortest useful checking order.
Expected Protector, got Rational
- 01Was your actual stored Karma at least +34?
- 02Did the run cross 43.5M Raw Data?
- 03Were you counting pending Karma that had not settled?
- 04Were Protector passive effects confused with the +34 ending range?
Different Thresholds
Ending Requirements vs Achievement Requirements
| Goal | Exact Requirement |
|---|---|
| Tyrant Ending | Karma ≤ −34 |
| Absolute Control | Karma = −100 |
| Rational Ending | −33 to +33 |
| Protector Ending | Karma ≥ +34 |
| You’re Safe With Me | Karma = +100 |
Getting a Tyrant or Protector ending does not automatically qualify for its extreme-Karma achievement. There is no invented “0 Karma Rational achievement.”

What Does Each Ending Unlock?
Tyrant
+2 Virus Helpers +25% Earnings
Rational
+15 Finder Chain +25% Earnings
Protector
+15 Finder Pulse +25% Earnings
Do you need all three endings?
For basic completion, no. For all Prestige rewards and full route completion, yes. Unlocked Prestige effects can be active together.
1 Ending → 1 Prestige · 2 Endings → 2 Prestiges · 3 Endings → all rewards
Simulator Recommendation
Rational → Protector → Tyrant
Rational-first performed best across tested expected-value scenarios, largely because Finder Chain provides broad progression value.
