Planet Clicker Stages
Every Planet Clicker evolution stage, in order — from Space Dust to a Galaxy — with the lifetime Mass needed to reach each one and what changes when you do.

Nine stages, driven entirely by lifetime Mass
Planet Clicker does not have difficulty settings — your planet's stage is a pure function of how much Mass you have ever produced. It only moves forward, it never resets while you play, and it never blocks or slows a purchase. Reaching a new stage is purely a visual milestone: a bigger, more advanced planet with new colors, glow, and rings where relevant.
01 · Where every planet begins
Space Dust
A loose cloud of grit and ice, barely held together by its own gravity.
Reached at 0 Mass
02 · A body worth naming
Asteroid
Dense enough to hold a shape, cratered from a million small collisions.
Reached at 1,000 lifetime Mass
03 · Round under its own weight
Dwarf Planet
Gravity has pulled it into a sphere, though it still shares its orbit with debris.
Reached at 25,000 lifetime Mass
04 · A world of its own
Planet
Layered continents and deep oceans — a fully-fledged planet with its own weather.
Reached at 500,000 lifetime Mass
05 · Bigger than rock allows
Gas Giant
A swirling ball of hydrogen and helium, wide enough to swallow smaller worlds whole.
Reached at 10,000,000 lifetime Mass
06 · Ignition
Star
Fusion has taken hold at the core — your planet now makes its own light.
Reached at 250,000,000 lifetime Mass
07 · Collapsed and blazing
Neutron Star
The remnant of a supernova, city-sized but denser than anything else in the sky.
Reached at 5,000,000,000 lifetime Mass
08 · Beyond the event horizon
Black Hole
So dense that light itself cannot escape — only its accretion disk still glows.
Reached at 100,000,000,000 lifetime Mass
09 · A hundred billion stars
Galaxy
Your planet has become the gravitational seed of an entire spiral galaxy.
Reached at 2,500,000,000,000 lifetime Mass
| Stage | Lifetime Mass required | Notable feature |
|---|---|---|
| Space Dust | 0 | — |
| Asteroid | 1,000 | — |
| Dwarf Planet | 25,000 | — |
| Planet | 500,000 | — |
| Gas Giant | 10,000,000 | Rings |
| Star | 250,000,000 | Glow |
| Neutron Star | 5,000,000,000 | Glow |
| Black Hole | 100,000,000,000 | Glow + rings |
| Galaxy | 2,500,000,000,000 | Glow + rings |
Every threshold is reachable through ordinary play — there is no hidden requirement beyond producing enough lifetime Mass. See the tips page for the fastest way to climb through them.
