Trainatic Guide Wiki – ORB Level 20 Unstoppable Build

This Trainatic Guide Wiki outlines a powerful strategy to crush ORB Level 20 using an optimized laser-focused train build. The approach is simple: maximize your orb spawn rate by destroying as many objects as possible in the shortest time using infinite-pierce lasers, while maintaining control over the orb-catching phase. With the right upgrades and tactical focus, you’ll reach Level 20 in just a few hours of consistent gameplay.

Core Components:

• Lasers (x3) – The backbone of this build. Infinite pierce and high damage make them ideal for large-scale object destruction.
• Support Modules – Damage, Fire Rate, and Impact Support drastically increase laser performance.
• Orb Catcher – Essential for collecting the spawned orbs once they appear.
• Spike and Explosive Modules – Added layers of general-purpose damage.
• Utility Modules – Crafting, Drone, Automation, Storage, and Fuel help maintain a steady pace and upgrade pipeline.

Build Concept and Strategy

Why Lasers?

Lasers in Trainatic have infinite piercing capability. That means they can cut through every object in their path without stopping. This makes them the most effective weapon in the game when it comes to clearing the map and spawning orbs rapidly.

To spawn an orb, you need to destroy a large number of objects. The faster you do that, the faster you get orbs. No other weapon setup can clear objects as efficiently as a laser-heavy build with proper support.

Key Takeaway:
This setup is designed to push the orb spawn rate to its physical limit. With full laser optimization, it’s impossible to spawn orbs any faster.

Catching the Orbs

Spawning the orb is only half the battle. Once it appears, you need to catch it using your train.

On higher orb levels, this becomes difficult due to increased orb movement speed. Therefore:

• Upgrade your train speed, but not too early. Speed modules are expensive and should be added after your primary weapon systems are functional.
• Once your lasers are destroying efficiently, then invest in speed to help with orb-catching.

Best Map for Grinding: Use Space

From personal experience, the Space map is ideal for grinding toward Orb Level 20. It allows you to:

• Continuously farm dust for crafting.
• Avoid environmental obstacles found in other maps.
• Maintain consistent pace across all orb levels.

Once orb upgrades are unlocked, difficulty becomes map-independent, so there’s no real benefit to switching locations. Stick with Space for optimal results.

Tactical Execution

How to Start the Level

At mission start:

• Press Right Mouse Button (RMB) in front of the train to align your lasers forward.
• This maximizes frontal destruction efficiency and keeps the orb spawn zone under your direct control.

Upgrade Priorities

Focus your upgrades on the following, in order:

1. Laser Weapon Damage and Fire Rate
2. Support Modules (Damage, Impact, Fire Rate)
3. Crafting and Automation
4. Speed (only after lasers are optimized)
5. Orb Catcher and Utility Modules

Do not spend early-game resources on weapon types not used in the build. Prioritize everything that boosts laser performance and automation throughput.

You can technically reach Orb Level 20 without every upgrade. However, by the time you’re grinding orbs to climb the levels, you will naturally accumulate enough resources to fully enhance your laser systems and support modules.

This build is meant to scale with your grind. It gets stronger the longer you commit to it, and once it’s fully online, Orb Level 20 becomes a waiting game more than a skill challenge.
