Pragmata Training Sim Unlocks

This page is for the specific question the broader Training Simulations hub only touches lightly: what actually unlocks Shelter sims, where Training Data fits, and which simulations are worth opening first instead of clicking through the whole board blind.

The important caveat is simple: public coverage is strong on the overall unlock system, but weak on the exact one-to-one mapping between each individual Training Data pickup and each individual sim. So this page separates confirmed structure from the still-fuzzy parts.

What Is Confirmed

Claim	Best Current Read	Why It Matters
Total Shelter sim pool	Current trophy and sim guide coverage supports 30 Shelter Training Sim missions.	You do not need to guess whether the board is complete.
Big unlock batches	Shelter upgrades are consistently documented as the main gate for opening more of the Training Sim board.	The main gate is progression, not random collectible order.
Training Data relevance	Independent guides also connect Training Data to unlocking additional sim content.	Skipping Training Data can leave your sim menu thinner than expected.
Trophy requirement	Mister Simulator and Master of the Simulator track the main objective, not side objectives.	This keeps cleanup much lighter than it first looks.

// Shelter Levels

Shelter Levels Explain The Main Unlock Logic

The most stable public explanation comes from the Shelter side of the system: once the Cabin and Shelter upgrade, the Training Sim board opens in larger batches instead of one tiny mission at a time.

Shelter Level 2

This is the level where independent guide overlap clearly agrees that the Training Sim system becomes a real part of Shelter progression.

Shelter Level 3

Later Shelter tiers are widely described as expanding the available sim set further, even if public sources do not document every menu change equally well.

Shelter Level 4

By the late-campaign Shelter tiers, the broad public consensus is that you are approaching or finishing the full 30-sim board.

Practical takeaway: if your goal is simply to see more sims appear, treat Shelter progression as the first lever and Training Data as the support lever.

What Each Training Data Unlocks

The Honest Answer

Public guide coverage agrees that Training Data matters for unlocking more Shelter sim content, but it does not consistently document an exact one-to-one menu mapping for each of the six pickups.

If you see a page claiming that one specific Training Data collectible definitively unlocks one specific sim by itself, treat that as low-confidence unless it is backed by current video or menu-proof evidence.

Best Safe Framing

Shelter upgrades appear to control the big unlock bands.
Training Data appears to expand or support the available sim pool within that system.
All 6 Training Data still matter if your goal is a complete Shelter sim file.

Best Sims To Open First

The list below is an editorial priority order built on confirmed mission names and objectives. It is not claiming these are the only good sims. It is the cleanest first-open route if you want movement, hacking, combat fundamentals, and easy trophy progress early.

1. Lightning Speed

Start With Movement

Lightning Speed is the most natural first sim because it teaches a clean movement check without asking for heavy system knowledge.

Best first pick if you want a low-friction warm-up and quick board momentum.

2. Medic

Learn Drone Handling

Medic is a strong early open because it forces you to interact with the Reassembler Drone loop instead of treating it as side clutter.

Best early pick if you want safer combat rhythm and cleaner objective handling.

3. Project Pierce

Open A Real Combat Tool

Project Pierce is a great early combat sim because it revolves around the Charge Piercer, which makes its value easier to feel outside the sim board.

Best early pick if you want a sim that immediately feeds back into real combat comfort.

4. Locksmith

Then Clean Up Hacking

Locksmith is the best early utility sim if your run still feels messy around hacking pressure, routing speed, or Diana-side execution.

Best early pick if you want more confidence in hacking-heavy cleanup routes.

// Recommended Pool

Confirmed Names Used In This Priority Route

Sim	Confirmed Focus	Why It Earns Early Priority
Lightning Speed	Movement / reach-the-goal style drill	The easiest onboarding sim for getting board progress without overthinking it.
Medic	Reassembler Drone interaction	Turns a system players often ignore into something practical.
Project Pierce	Charge Piercer usage	One of the clearest early sims that maps directly back to combat feel.
Locksmith	Hacking route execution	Especially good if your collectible and sector cleanup is slowed by terminal pressure.
Summit	Traversal endurance drill	Strong fifth pick if you care more about platforming comfort than hacking comfort.
