Scourge Prime Boss Fight (last time) Sat Nov 14
FOAD posted Nov 9: the Scourge Prime Boss Fight returns one last time, and after this final weekend it is gone for good. Sat Nov 14 β†’ Sun Nov 15, starting 3:00 PM CT (1 PM PT / 2 PM MT / 4 PM ET); ends Sun Nov 15 at 4 PM ET (3 PM CT). Active boosts: 2x Pickaxe, 2x Credits, 2x Upgrade Chips. Defeat Scourge Prime to claim him as an Iconic Droid. Set him as the worker at a Protocol Droid station and every Droid in that area gets a Hive Mind boost. Each defeat surges the conveyor belt with higher-variant blueprints. Already have him? Fight him anyway to earn Nova Crystals. (Boost size and exact Hive Mind numbers not posted.) Source: FOAD on X (@FoadZone).
Scourgedex every day Live daily
Since Nov 2 (v1.37.2), Scourge droids can be handed in to the Scourgedex every day, not just Fridays, for currencies and Blueprint Boxes. Once your Scourgedex is complete, visit Scourge Prime in the outskirts of the map to reset it: each reset gives 500 Nova Crystals and +1 permanent Hive Mind Bonus, as many times as you like (first-time rewards like the exclusive Base Paints can't be earned again).

Scourge Fridays Every Friday
Fridays now add bonuses: World Mission cooldowns drop from 30 to 15 minutes, World Missions become Scourged and give Scourge Crates, and Scourge droids spawn on the conveyor. Source: FOAD on X (@FoadZone). A guide lists Fridays Nov 6, Nov 13 and Nov 20 (00:00 to 24:00 UTC, which is Thu 6:00 PM to Fri 6:00 PM CST) (dates and times unconfirmed by FOAD; from the game files via one guide).

Coming next (Roadmap V2) No dates yet
Droid Trading is now live in v1.38.0 (trade above the Pickaxe Vendor). Still upcoming from the Nov 3 roadmap: a Gladiator Arena, Super Rebirth Hard Mode, a Daily Quest rework, Winter Season and Life Day events, a Reputation system, Kyber updates and new droids. No dates yet for the remaining items; see Patch notes below. Source: FOAD on X (@FoadZone) (Roadmap V2) Β· FOAD on X (@FoadZone) (v1.38.0).
Boosted Weekend Ended
Ended. FOAD listed it for Sat Nov 7 β†’ Sun Nov 8 (exact end time not posted; no extension posted on X as of Nov 9). Sat Nov 7 β†’ Sun Nov 8, started 3:00 PM CT (1 PM PT / 2 PM MT / 4 PM ET). Play in your Workshop and a playtime timer keeps spawning currency crates in your base all weekend. Active bonuses: 2x Credits, 2x Upgrade Chips, 2x Pickaxe Level. How it works: a 60-minute timer counts down only while you're in-game; remaining time persists between sessions; when it completes a currency crate spawns in your base and the timer restarts. Each crate holds credits, Upgrade Chips, 15 Nova Crystals and 5 Kyber Crystals (fan wiki Events page and Droid Tycoon Helper; not listed in FOAD's post). Event Pass: bonuses become 3x and the timer is cut to 30 minutes. Wiki and Helper say the pass costs 300 V-Bucks (not in FOAD's post; check in game).

Sandcrawler Session Q&A Ended
Ended. It was scheduled for Sun Nov 8 (no recap posted on FOAD's X as of Nov 9). Sun Nov 8 in FOAD's Discord. Confirmed time: 7:00 PM CT (= 8:00 PM ET / 5 PM PT) β€” prefer FOAD's Nov 1 timezone table, and FOAD's Nov 3 reply repeated "8 PM EST" (= 7 PM CT). FOAD's Nov 2 post said "7 PM EST" (conflicting older line; likely a typo). Post questions and vote on favorites in the Discord; top-voted ones are answered first.
