Unfortunately, there are players in the game who do not want to advance themselves (especially at stage 24) and hinder the advancement of others. They are called "campers" because they stay at the same stage, upgrading their builds and fusing a huge number of toolboxes and spare parts in them.
Even though we have induced the campers to progress, some of them still choose to stay, even though their advantage from this tactic is minimized by our measures. Please note that you don't have to fight them to go enter Prestige. You can tap the Prestige button at any moment and you will be able to leave these players behind.
