Run Loud, Get Found

Every machine you build is a flare. The Signature system is live — efficiency is now survival.

New mechanic wired in: Signature. Every process emits heat, power draw, EM — and MONARCH's sensors read all of it. Build a big, loud, inefficient factory and you light yourself up like a beacon; the swarm comes running. Build clean and tight and you buy quiet.

So now efficiency isn't just satisfying, it's survival. The most elegant factory is also the most invisible one. 'Run clean or run loud' is a real decision now, not a slogan.

STATUS: the factory is a stealth system now. Whoops — in a good way.
