Improved

16 changes
Models & effects

  • Scrap income - visible rewards appear every two seconds without changing total production.

Workshop

  • Workshop redesign - three-column layout with purchase controls, a live Demolitor preview and animated stats.

  • Purchase feedback - rapid upgrades stack their effects smoothly on the preview and world model.

  • Workshop visibility - an amber outline and UPGRADES marker help locate the terminal through the yard.

Tutorial

  • Role guidance - clearer goals for construction, repairs, upgrades and choosing a specialisation.

  • Build mode - the menu stays visible during placement and clears selection when closed.

Lobby & main menu

  • Lobby layout - compact role panels, clearer player chips and a larger Scrapper preview.

  • Difficulty selection - refined selector, help text and alignment.

  • Role selection - clearer role explanations and start requirements.

  • Color selection - dedicated color picker with controls beneath the Scrapper preview.

Balance & AI

  • Opening upgrades - the first purchase in each Demolitor stat now costs 60 scrap instead of 80.

  • Damage upgrades - increased damage gained per upgrade while preserving starting damage.

  • Mid-tier barricades - reduced tier-two health to 832 and tier-three health to 1,196, leaving starting and late-tier health unchanged.

  • Spiked Plating - reduced reflected melee damage from 15% to 10%.

  • Final-phase scanning - reduced scan cooldown from 60 to 20 seconds in phase four.

  • Brood Call - summoned spiders arrive faster and stay closer to the Demolitor.

Fixed

7 changes
Models & effects

  • Repair drone facility - hatch blades now slide open and close as a proper iris door.

  • Facility hatch rendering - retracted blades stay inside the housing with clean outlines and solid edges.

  • Turret surfaces - corrected distorted textures and overlapping upgrade geometry.

Workshop

  • Workshop movement - the Demolitor stays still while using the terminal.

Lobby & main menu

  • Seated Scrapper - hands now wrap around the barricade, with corrected backpack and equipment positioning.

AI

  • Turret placement - Scrapper bots keep their turrets behind their barricades.

  • Bot spending - nonurgent repairs no longer delay replacement turrets and other purchases.
