Outpost Zero

Outpost Zero is a 2D space defense roguelite.

The player sets up ship production lines and rally points. When the run starts, ships launch from the Outpost and fight automatically.

Run Flow

- Prepare ship rally points, production lines, Dark Matter, detection radius, and game speed.

- Start the run.

- Ships launch automatically when their cooldown and Supplier requirements are met.

- Ships move, target enemies, and attack without direct player control.

- Destroyed enemies grant Step XP.

- Step levels give three reward choices.

- Boss kills grant Boss Seed rewards and can unlock ship evolutions.

- The run ends when the Outpost Core is destroyed, the run is abandoned, or the final boss is defeated.

Ships

- Interceptor: fast starter ship with missile attacks.

- Gunship: slower cannon ship with longer range and splash damage.

- Assault Frame: melee ship with high hull and special combat perks.

- Mothership: guardian ship that stays near the Outpost and can absorb damage meant for the core.

Progression

Recovered Data is earned from survival time and boss progress.

Recovered Data is spent on permanent upgrades, including ship unlocks, Supplier capacity, Outpost durability, point defense, XP gain, rally point slots, production speed, game speed limits, and reward-control tickets.

Modes

Standard mode ends in victory when the final boss is defeated.

Limitless mode unlocks after a Standard victory and increases enemy pressure heavily.

A. Production Line

This card represents a ship production line. When enabled, it automatically launches this ship whenever its production cooldown completes. If Supplier capacity is full, the line stays ready and launches once capacity opens.

B. Line Gates

Top: enables or pauses this ship’s automatic launches.

Bottom: includes or excludes this ship from Step-Up reward targeting. Included ships can roll their class perks and evolutions; excluded ships keep producing normally, but their ship-specific rewards stay out of the pool.
