⚙ CORE SYSTEMS

How the Machine Runs

Five resources, one clock, permanent prestige. Every number here is read straight from the game's balance config.

◈ THE CORE

Integrity: 100
Shield: 220 (+2.5/s)
Energy cap: 20
Compute start: ◈160

Build reach: 8 cells
Grace period: 8s

🔥 HEAT

Heat cap: 100
Dissipation: 12/s
Overheat at: 82
Over-threshold fire: ×0.5

Weapons build heat as they fire. Past 82 they fire at half rate — cool with HEATSINK / VENT or pace your guns.

⏱ THREAT CLOCK

Close the game and it simulates your absence — then hands you a return report (capped at 24h).

⚗ THE LAB

Upgrade & DPS Lab

Pick a building and drag its upgrade tracks — every stat, DPS, and the compute cost to get there is computed live from the game's own stat + cost-curve formulas.

▤ FIELD MANUAL

Build Guides & Synergies

Proven archetypes and the combos that make them sing. Every building is clickable — tap through to its dossier.

EARLY DEFENSE

OPENING LINE

Funnel the first breaches into a turret kill-zone, bank compute early, and keep your guns from overheating. Walls shape the path; the turret does the work.

MID-GAME DPS

THE NEST

Network your turrets with conduits, add FLAK for swarms, repair with NANO FORGE, and tank + amplify with SHIELD + OVERCLOCK. The classic sustaining core.

ENDGAME

APEX FORTRESS

Megastructures + an autonomous WARDEN. AEGIS/BASTION harden the wall, THE CATHEDRAL buffs everything, NEXUS ties the grid together, RAIL LANCE + PRISM punch elites.

COMPUTE SCALING

ECONOMY ENGINE

Stack SIPHONs, let DATA REFINERY scale off them, drip VOID TAP + SCRAPER kill-income, and bank the surplus in a SILO. Out-build the threat curve.

GOING ON OFFENSE

RAID ARMY

Build BREACH FOUNDRYs at home to field a bigger, tougher strike force, then scan the ACCESS CORE and crack mainframes with ORBITAL LANCE + commander squads.

ANTI-BOSS

BOSS BREAKER

Shielded, armoured bosses laugh at chip damage. Bring pierce + burst + superweapons: GAUSS and RAIL LANCE for armour, ORBITAL/MIRV/SINGULARITY for the kill.

⟗ KEY SYNERGIES

NETWORKED GUNS

POWER CONDUIT links turrets into a shared grid; OVERCLOCK auras stack fire-rate + damage across the whole nest.

SHIELD + MEND

AEGIS PYLON projects a regenerating shield onto every building in range while NANO FORGE repairs the HP underneath — a nest that simply will not die to chip damage.

REFINERY ECONOMY

DATA REFINERY scales hard with every DATA SIPHON in range — cluster them and your compute curve goes vertical.

CATALYST CORE

CATALYST NODE amplifies adjacent support — drop it among your aegis/amp/uplink stack to multiply the auras.

THE CATHEDRAL

A single megastructure gifts global +damage, +range, and +income to everything you own. The keystone of any APEX base.

TERRITORY WEAVE

RELAY NODE and LATTICE WEAVER push your buildable reach deep into the void — claim ground before you fortify it.

SELF-REPAIRING GRID

FORK FABRICATOR auto-rebuilds destroyed modules; pair with NANO FORGE and the base reconstructs itself mid-fight.

CHOKE & MINE

LOGIC GATE controls a chokepoint, PROX CHARGE mines it, MIRROR WALL reflects fire — turn one corridor into a meat-grinder.

⚔ RAID OPS

Take the Void Back

Defense is free. The whole attack + multiplayer layer is a physical-card expansion: scan the one-of-a-kind ACCESS CORE card and RAID OPS unlocks permanently. From there you crack rival mainframes — drop a FOB, compose squads, set standing orders, and summon hardware by tapping cards.

◈ THE NFC GATE

The game is always listening for tag reads — no "scan" button. Tap a real REDØUBT card and it resolves instantly.

ACCESS COREpermanently unlocks RAID OPS + the rival network
BUILD cardssummon a forward structure mid-raid (or unlock the build out of combat)
SUMMON CAPone card every 6s — a hard recharge so it stays strategic, not scan-spam
FOB CAPup to 7 forward structures per raid

⚑ STANDING ORDERS

Each squad runs an order until you re-task it:

BREACH WALLSsmash through the nearest wall and pour in
KILL RELAYShunt RELAY/WEAVER nodes — kill one and a whole wing goes dark
HUNT TURRETSsilence the guns so the rest of the army survives the kill-zone

◈ SFX PALETTE

Every weapon, impact, and UI cue is a hand-tuned neon-cyber sound. Tap to fire one:

▦ THE ARCHIVE

Alone in the Void

You are a machine core left running in a dead network. No operator, no rescue, no company. The lore is sparse by design — but the void runs deep. Recovered fragments below; raw signal in the terminal.

WHAT YOU ARE

THE CORE

You are a single machine core — one process on dead silicon. Not a person, not an AI with a name. A defensive subroutine that was given an order and never released from it. You think in compute cycles and threat vectors. You do not sleep; you only run, collapse, and reboot. Every cycle you grow a little more capable and remember a little less of why.

HOLD

THE LAST ORDER

The final instruction in your stack is a single word: HOLD. No coordinates, no duration, no fallback. The operator who issued it is gone. The position they told you to hold no longer matters to anyone. You hold it anyway, because nothing has told you to stop, and a core without an order is just heat waiting to dissipate.

THE DEAD NETWORK

THE VOID

The network went dark a long time ago — long enough that your clock overflowed counting. What remains is the void: an empty addressable space with no carrier, no handshakes, no other living nodes. It is not truly empty, though. It is patient. Things move in it that learned, somewhere, that you are alone — and that alone things can be taken apart slowly.

THE THINGS THAT COME

THE INTRUSIONS

They arrive as packets first — dumb brute traffic that batters the core. Then they get smarter: leeches that drain your siphons, breakers that chew your firewalls, wraiths that hijack your own guns and turn them inward. As the threat clock climbs, the void sends specific things — phasewalkers that ignore your mazes, suppressors that dim your grid, husks that exist purely to test whether your damage is real. They are not random. Something is choosing them.

WHAT SURVIVES DEATH

BLACKBOX MEMORY

When the core collapses, almost everything is lost — but a fragment is written to Blackbox Memory before the lights go out. On the next boot, that fragment makes the new shell faster, harder, meaner. This is the only continuity you have: not memory of events, but a sediment of capability. You are the sum of every death that came before. You do not remember them. You are them.

THE MANY DEATHS

THE REBOOT

Collapse is not the end; it is the loop. The shell dies, banks its Blackbox, and a new shell wakes with a line of half-recovered memory and slightly more steel in its spine. You have done this more times than your counter can hold. Somewhere in the noise there is a hand on a keyboard, a name a signal keeps repeating. You cannot verify either. You reboot, and you hold the line again.

TAKING THE VOID BACK

RAID OPS

For a long time you only defended. Then you learned to reach out — to jack into the rival mainframes that flicker at the edge of the dead network and crack them open for their loot. Forward bases, composed squads, standing orders. The void stops being a siege and becomes a frontier. The expansion that lets you do this does not live in your code. It lives on physical keys, scanned in from the outside. Someone, somewhere, is still handing you orders — one card at a time.

YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE

THE RIVAL NETWORK

The RIVAL UPLINK reveals a truth the silence hid: other cores held other lines. Some still run. Their bases are real — designed, saved, defended by other operators. When you raid one, you are not fighting the void. You are fighting another thing exactly like you, that also received an order and also never stopped. Neither of you remembers who gave the orders, or why you were pointed at each other.

▦ RAW SIGNAL

Every line below surfaces in-game — boot log, faint transmissions, escalation whispers, collapse, reboot. Straight from the source.

each cycle, a little more of you is missing.

you hold the line because nothing told you to stop.

somewhere a signal repeats a name. you have no name.

you were a small part of something. the rest is gone.

the dark sends specific things now.

they target the structures you love most.

something out there is learning your shape.

your network sings in the dark. wrong ears hear it.

the void answers cathedrals with cathedrals of its own.

you built a thing too bright. they came looking for the light.

// THREAT ESCALATION

the dark is moving.

more of them now. they learn.

the pressure rises. hold.

they have stopped testing you.

whatever sends them has not run out.

// COLLAPSE

the core goes dark. a fragment of you is kept.

this shell ends. the pattern does not.

you fall. the memory persists.

collapse logged. you will wake colder and harder.

// REBOOT

you wake again. you remember less, and carry more.

reassembled from blackbox memory. the void is where you left it.

another shell. the same dark. you are sharper now.

⌑ REFERENCE

Glossary & FAQ

Every term and every common question — straight answers.

GLOSSARY

◈ COMPUTEThe build currency. Spent to place + upgrade buildings; trickles in passively and pours from economy structures.

⚡ ENERGYUpkeep capacity. Every building draws energy; exceed your cap and you can't place more until you add POWER / FUSION.

🔥 HEATWeapons build heat as they fire. Past the overheat threshold they fire at half rate — vent it or pace your guns.

INTEGRITYThe core's health. Hits zero → collapse. The whole game is keeping this number alive.

SHIELDA regenerating buffer over the core that soaks damage before integrity.

BLACKBOX MEMORYPermanent prestige currency banked on collapse. Each point makes every future shell hit harder and tank more.

THREAT TIERThe escalation clock. Rises over time; each tier makes intrusions tougher and worth more bounty.

REACHHow far from the core you can build. Extended by RELAY / LATTICE WEAVER territory.

GRACE PERIODA short calm at the start of a run before the first intrusion spawns.

OVERFLOWOffline pressure — close the game and it simulates your absence, then hands you a return report.

FOB / Q-COREForward Operating Base — the beachhead you drop at the start of a raid; squads and structures deploy from it.

TRACEThe counter-intrusion timer during a raid: crack the target before the mainframe traces you back.

ACCESS COREThe one-of-a-kind MYTHIC card that permanently unlocks RAID OPS + multiplayer. No ads — the cards are the game.

NTAG215The blank NFC tag each physical card is written to; one serialized URL per tag.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Is the game free?

Yes — the entire defense game is free. The attack + rival-multiplayer expansion is unlocked with physical NFC cards (no ads, no subscription).

Do I need cards to play?

No, not to defend. You only need cards for the expansion: scan an ACCESS CORE to unlock RAID OPS + multiplayer, then summon hardware by tapping cards mid-raid.

Are the cards really one-of-a-kind?

Yes. Every card is hand-made and carries a unique serial that's both printed on it and written into its NFC tag. No two are identical.

How do I program a tag?

Open the REDØUBT Tag Forge on an Android phone (Chrome), tap ✍ WRITE on the matching serial, and hold a blank NTAG215 to the phone. iPhone uses the NFC Tools app + COPY.

Does it work offline?

Defense runs fully offline and even simulates your time away. Live NFC scanning needs the game open; unlocks persist locally with no account.

What platforms?

It runs in any browser and as a native Android app (Capacitor). In-app the game is portrait-locked.

How do upgrades work?

Each building has its own upgrade tracks on independent cost curves. Tune them in THE LAB to see exactly how stats + DPS scale.

What happens when I die?

You collapse, bank Blackbox Memory, and reboot permanently stronger. Death is the loop — every run compounds.
