Titan tech tier: 5 new deep tech nodes beyond Apex (Rebirth 12 and Rebirth 15) for players pushing past R12
Singularity dropper (Rebirth 12): a colossal 5x2 ore source, the biggest dropper in the game
Market Tower (Rebirth 12): a new aura tower, processors within range sell for more
Scepter Bench (Rebirth 15): Gemstone + Crown -> Scepter, the new apex crafted good
Transmuter (Rebirth 15): a one-time x16 ingot boost, the strongest refiner yet
Overflow Gate (Rebirth 5): flows out the front, spills to the sides when the front backs up
Distributor (Rebirth 5): a 2x2 hub that feeds in from any side and shares materials out evenly
Quick bar: recently-used pieces now live in their own panel beside the engineer, one click to re-select
Options: toggle to turn the quick bar on or off
🧼 Improved
Materials now have real detail: rock texture on ore, a glowing core on hot metal and Power Cores, a bevelled face on ingots, facets on gems, bolts on Machines, and a metal-tinted corner on crates
Upgraded ingots (Forged, Enriched, Upgraded, Synthesized, Fabricated, Transmuted) now show a coloured pip so you can see they're loaded
Machine processing now animates smoothly instead of stepping, with a thin progress bar showing exactly how far along the work is
Stalled combiners waiting on a second ingredient now breathe a clear amber glow instead of looking empty
The engineer's hut is roomier so he isn't wedged against the walls
Parts Guide: category headers now sit clearly above their divider line instead of touching it, and the panel is wider so descriptions wrap less
Options menu toggles (Key hints, Unlock popups, Quick bar) are now properly styled instead of plain buttons
🪛 Fixed
Chain-highlight now correctly dims the new work-progress bar along with the rest of an off-chain machine
The upgrade pip no longer appears on copper wire, where it didn't belong
The crate strap decoration no longer pokes past the edge of small boxes
The Titan tech tier is now priced above the tier that unlocks it, instead of being cheaper for a similar bonus
⚠️ Known Issues
Rebirth 12+ players will see their Rebirth button re-lock until the new Titan nodes are purchased
Contract and achievement Tech Point rewards are temporarily inflated for Rebirth 12+ players until balance is tuned further
The board shifts slightly left with the quick bar's new side panel
