**SparScience** is the Truegold research line — a second, separate tech tree from regular Science, plus the two currency-exchange stores that feed it (War Academy Lesser Truegold packs, and the Truegold ↔ Truegold Dust store).

> The values in the screenshots below are one account's configuration, not the defaults. Each option's default is listed in the tables.

## Truegold Tech Research

| **Speed-up**                  | How the bot spends speedup items on Truegold research: **Disabled** never uses them, **TypeOnly** uses only Research-type speedups, **TypeAndGeneral** also spends General speedups. | **Disabled** |
| **Fallback max level**        | Only shown when the Truegold Priority list (below) is empty. Caps the level for the fallback "lowest-Id, not yet maxed" selection.                                                   | 12           |

| **Keep Truegold reserve**                                     | The bot never spends Truegold below this amount; only the surplus is exchanged.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                | 0            |

The exact rates and limits shown in the labels come from the live store configuration and can change between seasons. | Off, count 0 |

## Truegold Techs

![The Truegold Techs section of the SparScience settings tab](https://help.kingshot-bot.com/content/images/2026/08/settings-sparscience--truegold-techs-2.png)

Browse Truegold techs across Infantry, Cavalry, and Archer trees, and click **+** to add one to the Truegold Priority list at a target level (or **\-** to lower it).

## Truegold Priority

![The Truegold Priority section of the SparScience settings tab](https://help.kingshot-bot.com/content/images/2026/08/settings-sparscience--truegold-priority-2.png)

The ordered list of Truegold tech targets. When non-empty, the bot researches strictly in this order — the first target still below its target level is picked. When empty, it falls back to the "lowest-Id, not yet maxed" heuristic capped by **Fallback max level**. Use **▲**/**▼** to reorder, **✕** to remove the selected entry, or **⊘** to clear the whole list.

## Truegold Exclusions

![The Truegold Exclusions section of the SparScience settings tab](https://help.kingshot-bot.com/content/images/2026/08/settings-sparscience--truegold-exclusions-2.png)

Techs added here are never researched automatically, regardless of priority or fallback. Pick a tech from the dropdown (filterable by name) and click **\+ Add**.
