Your bases are yours to label now. Rename any base freely, and give each one a
single-character tag — the little mark on the base chip in the top bar and
on the Bases page. Your main base still defaults to M, but you can change it
too; a new base starts with the first letter of its name until you pick your own.
Set both right beside the colour picker on the Bases page.

Following on from the clearer Refinery income lines: the activation row now reads Activated idle harvesters — past tense, so it says what the refinery did rather than leaving a bare count to puzzle over. The Refinery's detail panel has been brought in line with the build card too, showing the same breakdown (income · activated harvesters · slots), so the card and the detail view finally tell one story.

The Refinery build card used to squeeze its per-minute Titanite income and the "activates idle harvesters" note onto a single line, so the number read like a harvester count rather than income. Those are now two separate lines: a clear Titanite/min income figure, and a line naming how many of your idle harvesters the refinery puts back to work.

Reopen the game on your phone after it's been in the background and the screen now
snaps up to date the moment you look at it — your resources and the panel you're on
refresh immediately, instead of sitting on old numbers until the next tick. A quick
flick to another app and straight back won't trigger it, so nothing flickers when you
didn't really leave.

The Build screen's object cards have had a thorough tidy-up. Prerequisites you don't meet yet now sit in clear blocks at the top of a locked card — each showing the required building's image, how many you own versus need, and its name — so it's obvious at a glance what's gating a unit. What a building gives you (extra Titanite storage, harvester slots) now sits in matching blocks along the bottom.

The stats under each name are reordered into a tidy, aligned grid — HP and attack, Titanite and ISC, power and build time, grid usage and range — with rows hidden where they don't apply so nothing looks cluttered. Combat units now show their unit type and plain-language effectiveness ("Strong vs Infantry", "Can't hit Air") right on the card — the same badges you already see on the Attack picker and the Combat Simulator — plus their speed and range. And when you can't afford something, the shortfall note now sits neatly centred under the Build button.

On the Dev Channel board, freshly closed requests now stay expanded for a rolling last-24-hours window instead of only until the clock ticks past midnight. A thread shipped late in the evening no longer collapses out of sight the moment a new day starts — the section is now headed "Last 24 hours" to match.

A base that was busy training units could still get flagged "idle" — just because its construction lane happened to be free. That read wrong, and it was: a base is now marked idle only when it is doing nothing at all, with nothing building AND nothing training. The flag on the top bar and the Bases page now says what it means.

The World map's recon-readiness checklist used to un-tick "A Trike in your garrison" the moment you sent your only Trike out scouting — flashing "build one" at you right when a Trike was already on the job. It now counts Trikes in flight as well, so once you can scout, the tick stays put until the Trike is genuinely gone.

The Build tab now spells out what each income building does to your Titanite flow before you commit. A Harvester tells you whether it will earn right away — landing in a free Refinery slot — or bring in nothing until a Refinery opens a slot for it. A Refinery shows the income it unlocks: the boost from switching on any idle Harvesters you already own, or the new slots future Harvesters will earn through. No more guessing why a freshly built Harvester sits there earning nothing.

Laying concrete just got a lot less fiddly. A slab no longer refuses to place when part of it overlaps an existing slab or hangs over a border tile — it now drops just those cells and lays the rest, so you can close small gaps and tidy up edges without hunting for a pixel-perfect fit. As you position a slab, the preview shows exactly what will happen: the cells that will be laid glow green, and any that would be clipped away stay dimmed. A clipped slab still costs one from your stock, and patchwork coverage counts for protection — tile a building's footprint from two adjacent slabs and it's shielded just the same.

Not sure how to scout or spy — or what to build when you don't have a Trike yet? The World map now spells it out. A new "How scouting & spying work" panel lays the two out side by side: what each reveals, what it needs, and what it costs. Below it, a live readiness checklist ticks off exactly what you still need — an Observatory, a Trike to scout, Espionage research to spy — with a direct link to build or research whatever's missing. The scout panel now tells you where Trikes come from when your garrison is empty, and the Getting Started checklist names the prerequisites on the recon step. Nothing about how recon works changed — it's just no longer a guessing game.

Concrete now protects a building even when its footprint sits across SEVERAL
slabs instead of one. Before, a structure only counted as shielded if a single
slab covered its whole footprint — tile it from two adjacent slabs and the
protection quietly vanished. No longer: every tile of the footprint standing on
any slab is enough. Lay concrete under a building you've already placed, too —
that has always worked, and now the protection follows. More on the way: slabs
that clip to close small gaps and edges are coming next.

The Combat Simulator's strike force is now a proper planner. Instead of only the
units sitting in your garrison right now, it lists every mobile unit you could
field at your tier — Trikes included — each pre-filled with what you hold at home
and editable upward. Want to know whether 60 Trikes crack a base before you build
a single one? Type it in and simulate. Your Commander bonuses are still folded in
automatically, and the defender side stays bound to your own recon, exactly as
before.

The World Map no longer vanishes from your menu before you've built the Observatories to unlock it. Head there any time and the page itself explains exactly what you need — build 2 Observatories — with a shortcut straight to the build yard. One less dead end for commanders finding their feet; the Starport and Bases entries stay hidden until unlocked, since their pages carry no such guidance.

The blueprint thumbnails on the Research page are now noticeably larger, so each
technology reads at a glance instead of squinting at a postage stamp. Same layout,
more legible art.

Behind the command deck, the tileset design tools got a tidy-up: the edge and corner labels no longer show up twice on the page, and clicking a tile in the live preview now jumps you straight to its editable row below. Purely a maintainer-tools polish — nothing changes out on the front.

The Combat Simulator's manual defender entry no longer lists units from tiers above your own — it now shows only what you'd plausibly know, capped at your tier and below. Simulating against a spy report is unchanged: a report can still reveal a higher-tier target's forces, exactly as before.

Another tidy-up on the Build screen's Power and Titanite Storage pair. The Power card no longer carries the small "used/produced" caption that, on phones, pushed its figure onto a second line and knocked its bar out of line with the Titanite Storage bar beside it. Both readouts now sit on a single line — the same bold-now / faded-max style used elsewhere — and their bars line up neatly at the same height across phone, tablet and desktop.

The Build screen's cards have had another polish pass. Each building's stat table — HP, power, size, cost and build time — now sits neatly to the right of the artwork, tucked in under the name and lined up snugly with the bottom of the image, instead of spilling across the full width below it. The result is a tighter, more coherent card on phone, tablet and desktop alike.

New commanders no longer have to learn the hard way. Two friendly confirmations now stand between you and an accidental economic softlock: selling your last Titanite-income building warns you the base will earn nothing until you rebuild, and banking the last of your ISC when you hold no Titanite asks you to confirm before it locks away in the Safe. Deliberate all-in plays still go through — you just won't do it by accident anymore.

The admin map-tuning workbench now carries two more live dials. Storm spin
sets how fast the preview sandstorm churns, and a Wake dust group tunes the
sand-cloud trail a worm leaves behind — its lifetime, how often it puffs, and
how far the dust drifts. Both preview against the live globe in real time, so
the look can be dialled in by eye. These two are preview-only tuning aids and
aren't saved as the player default.

The Build screen's object cards got a second polish pass. Every card now carries one tidy stat table — HP, power, build space, Titanite, ISC and build time all in one place, with bigger figures on mobile. HP reads as current / max, so a damaged building shows exactly how much health is left, and the health bar at the foot of the card now appears only when something is hurt, shading from green through orange to red as the damage deepens. The stray "Owned: 0" line is gone; a count only shows once you actually own one.

The bank's Safe now shows a live countdown to your earliest still-locked deposit, right beside the balance that frees up when it matures — no more scrolling the ledger to work out when your next tranche opens.

We've reinforced the front door. New recruit sign-ups now pass through several
quiet checks that turn away automated bot registrations before they ever reach
the battlefield — without adding a single extra step for a real Commander
joining the fight. Legitimate sign-ups are as fast and simple as ever; the
scripts trying to flood the ranks are not.

The Build screen got a proper redesign. Power and Titanite storage now sit side by side, the Base-layout jump lives right in the Build-space panel, and the categories are a single tidy row of icons — Buildings, Defense, Infantry, Vehicles, Aircraft — with Upgrades on its own line.

Selling is now a simple Build/Sell switch: leave it on Build to construct, flip it to Sell and every building you own shows its sell controls instead. Each card has a larger image on mobile, the amount you own shown as a corner badge, cleaner stats, and a slim health bar tucked along the bottom edge.
