Overview

Loops are runs through the world. You plan a queue of actions, start the loop, and watch those actions execute. Planning your route is an ongoing puzzle that you revisit as the map changes and your exploration improves.

Key Rules

The editor queue is always editable during queue execution, but once you start a loop, queue changes do not affect the current loop snapshot.
A loop ends when you run out of Energy, your Integrity reaches 0, the next queued action is impossible, or you manually stop execution.
After the Drone Mechanic has opened the scrapyard gate in a previous loop, a completed queue can hand off to manual play at the end of the current loop if you still have both Energy and Integrity remaining.
When a loop fully ends, the game stays in an "end of loop" state so you can review outcomes. The Reset Loop button in the queue controls is then available to begin planning the next loop.
The queue projection (the black outline of your actions that shows on the map) does not tell you how things will actually happen, just what actions you've queued.

Queue Complete Behavior

Prompt: after the queue completes, the game offers manual control if manual control is unlocked and you still have both Energy and Integrity. Press 1 to enter manual control or 2 to end the current loop.
Manual: after the queue completes, the game enters manual control immediately under those same conditions.
End Loop: the queue ends the current loop normally instead of handing off into manual control.

Overview

Energy is spent at a constant rate per second. There are multiple ways to replenish it, but it remains your primary per-loop resource.

A loop can also end early if you run out of Integrity. Integrity is lost in combat and mitigated by Block. Your Attack value dictates how quickly fights end: higher Attack means shorter fights and less Integrity/Energy loss.

Key Rules

Energy loss per second is constant regardless of the action being performed.
Excess Energy gain is lost. If you are at 600/800 Energy and gain 400, then 200 is wasted.
Fight durations are divided by your Attack value. A 6s fight takes 4s at 1.5 Attack.
Enemies deal a fixed amount of combat damage per second while a fight is running.
Block reduces that combat damage by a percentage, capped at 85%.
Some enemies have Block Piercing, which reduces how much of your Block applies against them.

Overview

Performing an action increases your Mastery. Higher Mastery makes that specific action faster, letting you do more each loop with limited Energy.

Key Rules

Mastery is specific to individual actions. Speaking with one entity does not increase mastery for speaking with a different entity.
This also applies to movement: each individual tile has a movement cost and mastery.
You gain a larger mastery bonus the first time an action is performed each loop. Repeating the action in the same loop still grants mastery, but at a lower rate per repetition.

Overview

Many actions grant Data Fragments. Collect enough fragments and they convert into a Data Card, but the conversion rate increases each time. Data Cards are then used at terminals to upgrade systems.

Key Rules

Interact with a terminal to increase your Capacity stat. This raises maximum Energy capacity.
Speak with a terminal to increase your Integrity stat. This increases maximum Integrity, raises Block, and restores some Integrity.
Fight with a terminal to increase your Combat stat. This raises your Attack value.
