How to Get Remote Buy in Sell Lemons
Unlock Remote Buy in Sell Lemons — the 1 Trigintillion investor purchase, how the feature works, and whether it is worth buying during progression.
Remote Buy is one of the most useful quality-of-life upgrades in Sell Lemons. Instead of walking around your factory to purchase every button manually, this feature lets you buy upgrades from anywhere, making long grinding sessions much easier.
Since Remote Buy is locked behind late-game progression, many players wonder when it becomes available and whether it is worth saving for. For a quick reference on what resets after Ascension, see the powers wiki.
What is Remote Buy?
Remote Buy is a power that lets you purchase upgrades without walking to every button in the factory. Tap the yellow button on your HUD to open the menu.
After unlocking it, you can:
- Buy upgrades from anywhere on your plot.
- Spend less time running around your factory.
- Manage larger setups more comfortably.
- Make long grinding sessions more efficient.
Remote Buy does not increase your cash production directly, but it removes a lot of the repetitive movement that comes with late-game progression.
How to unlock Remote Buy
Remote Buy is not available at the start. The free unlock is a single purchase in the Powers menu — no separate void-evolution tier requirement.
Save 1 Trigintillion Alien Investors
Open the Powers menu and buy Remote Buy for 1 Trigintillion investors. That investor cost is the hard requirement. Most players hit it in late void progression — often around the same stage as a 6th void evolution — but you only need the investor balance, not a specific void tier. See the void evolution wiki for void evolution stacking and reset rules.
Purchase the power
Once you can afford it, Remote Buy appears in the Powers menu. Buying it permanently unlocks the yellow HUD button for remote upgrades.
Is Remote Buy worth it?
For most players, yes.
Remote Buy does not add income by itself, but it cuts a lot of late-game walking between upgrade pads. As the factory grows, that travel time adds up.
However, if you are still progressing through the early or mid game, upgrades that directly increase income will usually provide more value — see the income sources wiki.
Premium Remote vs free unlock
Players who do not want to wait can buy Remote Buy from the Powers menu for 999 Robux for immediate access.
Paying Robux unlocks it now and leaves your Alien Investors free for other permanent upgrades. Free players can unlock Remote Buy later the normal way — long-term progression is the same either path.
Ascension note: If you unlocked Remote Buy for free, Ascension removes it — only the Robux version stays after ascending.
Tips for unlocking Remote Buy faster
- Rebirth whenever your progress starts slowing down — stack Alien Investor % for faster runs.
- Prioritize upgrades that increase overall income before saving for Remote Buy.
- Finish the sewer key routes for vine cash and the UFO investor boost while stacking void evolutions.
- Hold off on minor power purchases when you are pushing the next void evolution tier.
- Treat Remote Buy as a late-game convenience upgrade rather than an early priority.
Most players unlock Remote Buy naturally while progressing through the later stages of the game.
