Updates
What changed and why, in plain language. The fine print lives in the wiki.
Lock your favorite parts, farm any wave
Parts can now be protected with one tap, so scrap, the Smelter and the Foundry all skip the gear you care about, and their tallies no longer count it. The arena also gained a Hold toggle that farms the current wave instead of advancing, and the active attacks, now named Full Send and Maximum Effort, show their charge as fill bars instead of shifting countdown text. Settings can copy your save code in one click.
The mechs got a glow-up
Every war-frame, overlord and wave enemy got an art pass: bigger late-tier silhouettes, juiced weapons and two full re-imaginings. The Dyson Frame is now a star-hearted war-angel and Sir Cumference is a roaring coal furnace on stubby legs. See the whole ladder on The Mechs.
Save codes are now fan tool friendly
The Saving guide now documents the full save code format: the compression recipe, the JSON envelope and how versioned migration works. If you want to build a planner, analyzer or editor, the door is open. The backup nudge also behaves better: one click copies a fresh code.
The tier ladder goes full meme: Unit and GOATED
Part tiers are now Nerfed, Mid, Lit, Sweaty, Based, Unit and GOATED. Drops stop at Based; the top two tiers only come out of the Foundry, and a GOATED pour is an overnight project. The Parts guide has the full multipliers.
Pets went to obedience school
Drops and overlord kills now teach a pet up to level 10; everything past that is earned in the Training Yard, capped by trial: Fetch to 5, Guard to 10, Sit. DOWN. to 15 and the new final discipline, Get 'Em, to 25. Overlord minis train right alongside the Doombahs, gold and disgruntled.
Overlord duels open with a countdown
Challenging an overlord now holds the arena for three seconds with a gold 3-2-1 before the fight starts. You get a breath, the boss gets an entrance, and nobody gets sucker punched during a tab switch.
Every overlord drops a trophy mini
Defeat any overlord five times and a gold pocket-sized copy joins your bench with its own themed bonus, from the Synth CFO to Nightlight. Five more defeats per level. Re-fights finally have a reason, and the Pets guide tracks all 11.
