How to Get Remote Buy in Sell Lemons | Evolution 6 Guide

What is Remote Buy?

Remote Buy is a power that allows you to purchase upgrades without physically touching the purchase buttons in your 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 beginning of the game. You will need to progress through several evolutions before the power becomes accessible.

Reach Evolution 6

According to community reports and multiple guides, Remote Buy becomes available after reaching Evolution 6 — often aligned with your 6th void evolution at the Purple Portal. If you have not reached that point yet, continue focusing on growing your factory and evolving normally. See the rebirth wiki for void evolution stacking.

Save your Alien Investors

After unlocking Evolution 6, you will need a large amount of Alien Investors to purchase Remote Buy — community documentation points to roughly 1 Trigintillion investors for the free unlock. Because of the high cost, many players prioritize income-related upgrades first and come back for Remote Buy later.

Purchase the power

Once the requirements have been met, Remote Buy will appear in the Powers menu. Purchasing it permanently unlocks the ability to buy upgrades remotely.

Is Remote Buy worth it?

For most players, yes.

Although Remote Buy does not provide additional income, it significantly improves the overall gameplay experience. As your factory grows larger, constantly running between upgrades becomes increasingly time-consuming.

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 until Evolution 6 can obtain similar functionality through the premium Remote purchase with Robux.

The premium option provides immediate access and allows you to save Alien Investors for other permanent upgrades. Free-to-play players can simply unlock Remote Buy later through normal progression, so neither approach affects long-term progression.

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.
• Avoid spending Alien Investors on smaller upgrades too early in a void-evolution push.
• 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.
