Hardcore mode was added 1st of december 2011. After the update, if you have over 100 Soul Points, you can choose to join a random town, or to join a Hardcore Hardcore Town. Hardcore towns are much harder to survive in. Note that there is only ever 1 Hardcore town open for joining at a time, the next appears once the previous is filled.

Listed below are the differences between regular distant towns and a Hardcore town.

Town Setup

• The amount of studied constructions are decreased significantly (confirm).

• Initial water reserves are decreased.

• There are 2 Explorable Ruins Explorable Ruins instead of 1.

Game mechanic changes

• The survival chances of Camping Camping are significantly lowered.

• The Chances to die from Infected infection at 23:00 is increased from the usual 50% to 75%.

• The Chances to Wounded injure someone with the 'attack' option increased.

• The amount of free Hero Hero days you get if you are the Last_Man_Standing Last Man Standing is doubled. Note there is a separate Last Man Standing - Hardcore! Last Man Standing - Hardcore! rare Distinction which is gained as well as the regular LMS.
  • Each distinction awards the same amount of hero days, so when combined a double amount of hero days are awarded.
• External apps are limited in functionality due to the XML feeds being truncated in Hardcore towns. All auto-updaters are disabled or will not work correctly. Some applications may still allow manual zone updates (in example, From Dusk Till Dawn)

Damage to Defenses

• Defences Defensive Objects in the The Bank The Bank can be destroyed during The Attack The Attack. The rate of destruction appears to be directly coupled to attack size (not overflow sizes).
  • It is therefore recommended to distribute defensive objects to prioritised individuals (eg. the Shaman Shaman, Kitchen hero, or Home Laboratory hero).
• At 23:00 server time (when The Attack The Attack occurs), the constructions in town can become damaged. The buildings are repaired through the Construction Sites Construction Sites tab in town by investing s (or technician s).
  • Constructions that provide The Well water are immune to damage, presumably to prevent players from repeatedly building and destroying them, of which would provide an infinite amount of water.
  • Damage to constructions is 75%max, so you need to repair every construction to 25%+1 of its original building needed.
• Defence Defensive constructions which have been damaged provide less defence points.

• If damaged buildings are not repaired, they can even be destroyed during the next wave of attack.
  • Destroyed constructions lose their Building upgrades Building upgrades through the daily project, if any.
• Constructions which become completely destroyed need to be rebuilt, costing the same and materials as when first built.

• If a parent building is destroyed then it's children will continue to function; however they cannot be repaired until the parent is restored.
