Added

9 changes
  • 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

7 changes
  • 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

4 changes
  • 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

3 changes
  • 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
