A little science, a lot more life
  • Choose your map, earn science, and build things your way. This update opens both Stone Age and Copper Age from the start and adds a shared science tree with three branches: Camp, Vehicle, and Runner.

  • - Science replaces shells for research and upgrades. Earn 5 science for each completed Stone Age lap and 10 for a valid Copper Age descent, with research and upgrades that can improve those rewards.

  • - Research discoveries individually, including Radio, vehicle crafting, and runner improvements. Hover over the science icons to see their costs, requirements, and benefits.

  • - Track completion separately for each map, with separate leaderboards.

  • - Explore the reworked Copper Age village, with primitive tents, upgradeable buildings, villagers, a shared fire, and a more natural starting area.

  • - Smoothed the downhill road and blended its edges into the hillside to improve the ride and make getting back onto the road easier.

  • - Added more life around Trolltunga: a chicken-lifting ceremony, fire breath turning into smoky hearts, and chickens wandering away into the woods.

  • - Look around freely with the mouse while driving.

  • - Improved the seated driver and added timber supports to the car.

  • - Added Heroic radio with three tracks: Only the Bravest, Code of Honor, and Red Canyon. Select it with 5; radio power remains on 4.

  • Existing owned upgrades and researched discoveries are retained. Old shell balances remain stored for compatibility but are no longer spendable. Progression reset is available under Settings.

  • The second map, Copper Age, is still a work in progress, with more details and improvements to come. Thanks for playing Built to Lap!
