The manager is an upgrade for the Sell Center. The upgrade has 3 levels which grant different benefits as listed below.
The Manager increases offline progression as listed below, as well as being able to lock individual minerals and isotopes to prevent selling them when using the sell all feature, or each individual material.
Level 1[]
Level 1 allows the user to lock an arbitrary amount of minerals and isotopes such that they aren't sold. This level also grants offline progression, at a rate of 25% of your normal progress for 12 hours.

Locking[]

- The lock is activated by clicking on the lock beside the sell button for each resource and inputting an amount of resources to keep when selling. If you have more resources than you have locked, the excess amount will be sold. If you have less than the amount you have locked, no minerals of the given type will be sold.
- To disable the lock you have to input 0 as the amount in the lock interface and click update.
- The lock applies both to the "sell" button next to the mineral and the "Sell All" button at bottom.
- The lock changes the calculation of the amount to be sold next to "Sell All". The amount shown is for all minerals that will be sold, i.e. that are over your lock limit. This doesn't change the calculation of the mineral value next to each mineral (that still shows the total value of your mineral stock, both locked and unlocked). That means you can't see how much money you'll make for selling the "extra" of a single mineral.
- There is no limit as to how many locks can be active, i.e. you can have a resource lock on every single resource.
- The lock shows the true name of the minerals and isotopes yet to be found.
- Don't sell isotopes, for the most part. Check the page itself for more information on this aspect, because there are circumstances where it's fine to do so.
- You can also use letters to help lock an amount of materials that you want, for example "10k" will lock 10,000 of that material. This is a relatively new feature as of v0.44.
- After you unlock the Manager, clicking on a resource on any blueprint will allow you to lock that amount of resources in one click. Remember to manually unlock (or reduce lock amount) later!

Offline Progression[]
During Offline Progression it will only count towards your depth and the ores/isotopes that are mined. No chests will be gathered during offline progression (however, some of them will appear in the chest collector, according to your chance of collecting them) and also no fights from monsters will be included in offline progression.
