Hardcore mode was added 1st of December 2011. Hardcore towns are much harder to survive in. After the update, if you have over 100 Soul Points, you will see a new option "Let me in! I'm Hardcore!" which let you join the 
Hardcore Hardcore town available at that moment. Note that there is only 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 global camping penalty is -70%.
- Chances to die from
Infected infection at 23:00 is increased from the usual 50% to 75%.
- Chances to
Wounded injure someone with the 'attack' option become high.
- 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. Most auto-updaters are disabled or will not work correctly. You will need to input zone information manually yourself.
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).
- 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 
(or technician 
). Each or invested can repair 2 points of the building.
- 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 70% max, so you need to repair every construction to 30%+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.
- Constructions which become completely destroyed need to be rebuilt, costing the same and materials as when first built.
- Even if the parent building is destroyed, its child buildings will still continue to function; however they cannot be repaired until the parent one is rebuilt.
