Ascendant Tiers

Ascendant Tiers is a Desynced mod that adds a Tier 2 progression layer for modular buildings, components, and robot units.

The mod expands on vanilla progression by introducing upgraded T2 variants, a dedicated research path, and a set of custom materials used to craft the new content. The goal is to keep the overall feel close to the base game while giving more room to scale into stronger modular setups.

In general, T2 buildings and robot units gain 100% more Small, Medium, and Large slots, along with a 50% increase to internal slots. In cases where a building or unit does not use S, M, or L slots, the upgrade usually focuses on increased storage capacity and speed instead.

Most T2 components are designed around a 2x effectiveness increase, depending on their role. This can include things such as:

• More generated energy
• Higher weapon DPS
• More storage capacity
• Increased range on selected components
• Other role-specific improvements depending on the component type

For existing saves, an option button is available to unlock the starting technology and enable the mod progression path

• Tier 2 Robot buildings
• Tier 2 Robot components
• Tier 2 Robot units
• Custom T2 technologies
• Custom upgrade materials

The current 2x scaling on many upgrades was mainly used as a starting point while building out the mod and establishing the full T2 progression path.

The long-term goal is to make the T2 line feel more balanced in terms of both stat increases and crafting costs, so it does not end up feeling too overpowered while still being worth investing into and viable to use as a full progression path.

As the mod develops further, some values will likely be adjusted to better fit the overall pacing and balance of the game.

If you have any thoughts on what should be changed, I’m open to balance feedback.

If you have feedback, bugs or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment or open a discussion.
