What changed in Droid Tycoon v1.36.0?
v1.36.0 adds Scourge, the ninth finish. Raw Scourge earns less than Stellar, and Hive Mind adds 10.45% to each placed Scourge droid for every other one. Dawn of the Scourge ran for 24 hours from October 24, 1:00 PM PDT (20:00 UTC). Normal-droid traits now cost Credits.
Use the 1.37.0 update for the Scourge Boss Fight, Scourge Prime and the new Friday window.
Read the 1.37.0 updateScourge Variant
- New: Scourge is the ninth variant, after Kyber. Every non-Iconic droid can be Scourge.
- Raw Scourge income is 0.90x Stellar and about 0.81x an unactivated Kyber at every rarity. Hive Mind adds to that. See Hive Mind below.
- Craft time: x14 of Default (Stellar x18, Kyber x36).
- Power (companion perk strength): 7, the same as Stellar. Kyber is 8.
- Upgrade Chips cannot upgrade a droid into Scourge.
- Scourge never rolls Flawless. 1.37.0 changed this: Scourge now rolls Flawless at 1 in 101.
- Rebirth: a Scourge droid counts for a requirement of any variant.
| Rarity | Income (Stellar / Kyber / Scourge) | Blueprint cost (Scourge) |
|---|---|---|
| Common | x32 / x35.2 / x28.8 | x32 |
| Rare | x32 / x35.2 / x28.8 | x32 |
| Epic | x80 / x88 / x72 | x975 |
| Legendary | x150 / x165 / x135 | x18,850 |
| Mythic | x125 / x137.5 / x112 | x36,400 |
Hive Mind
Each placed Scourge droid earns an extra 10.45% of its own income for every other placed Scourge droid. The patch notes give no number.
In 1.36.0 your Credits Multi did not multiply that extra, so above Credits Multi x1.45 no number of Scourge could beat an activated Kyber. The 1.36.2 hotfix changed that: Credits Multi, the matching-role bonus and the Protocol bay bonus now multiply the extra too. 3 placed Scourge out-earn the same number of Stellar. It takes 27 placed Scourge to out-earn the same number of Green Kyber of the same droid, 30 for Blue and 34 for Purple.
It counts droids in work stations, astromech mission slots and protocol slots. Lounge slots and companions do not count. Only Scourge droids get the bonus, and the code sets no cap.
| Placed Scourge | Extra for each one (share of its own income) |
|---|---|
| 1 | +0% |
| 2 | +10.45% |
| 3 | +20.9% |
| 4 | +31.35% |
| 5 | +41.8% |
| 8 | +73.15% |
| 10 | +94.05% |
The Scourge guide has the full table and a chart for your Credits Multi.

Next event slot in 1.36: Scourge Boss Fight, Saturday, October 31, 2026 at 1:00 PM PDT (8:00 PM UTC) to Sunday, November 1, 2026 at 12:00 PM PST (8:00 PM UTC), with a placeholder event body. 1.37.0 moved it to Saturday, October 31, 2026 at 7:00 AM PDT (2:00 PM UTC) to Sunday, November 1, 2026 at 1:00 PM PST (9:00 PM UTC).
Droid Traits
- Normal droids now pay Credits, not Nova Crystals. First scan: the droid's blueprint cost x 3. Reroll: blueprint cost x 1.25^(rerolls already made). The blueprint cost is that copy's variant price.
- Iconic droids still pay 200 Nova Crystals per scan and reroll. The Iconic trait is guaranteed by roll 60.
- New: Iconic Trait Unlock for 2,600 V-Bucks (3,000 from 1.37.0).
- Rerolling over an Iconic trait now asks you to confirm.
- All traits on Iconic droids now survive Super Rebirth. Before, only the Iconic trait did.
- Fusion Preservation now keeps the reroll count.
| Example droid | First scan | First reroll | Fifth reroll |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mouse (Common, Default) | 5 Nova → 2,850 Credits | 2 Nova → 950 Credits | 10 Nova → 2,319 Credits |
| BDX Explorer (Rare, Default) | 10 Nova → 75,000 Credits | 4 Nova → 25,000 Credits | 20 Nova → 61,035 Credits |
| Groundmech (Epic, Default) | 20 Nova → 2,700,000 Credits | 6 Nova → 900,000 Credits | 30 Nova → 2,197,266 Credits |
| Proto-Roller (Legendary, Default) | 35 Nova → 66,000,000 Credits | 8 Nova → 22,000,000 Credits | 40 Nova → 53,710,938 Credits |
| Snow Mouse (Mythic, Default) | 55 Nova → 540,000,000 Credits | 10 Nova → 180,000,000 Credits | 50 Nova → 439,453,125 Credits |
Credit prices are the formula before any rounding the game applies. A Gold or higher copy costs more, because its blueprint costs more.
Conveyor Odds
Per-blueprint chance by rarity, no luck. The patch notes do not mention these.
| Finish | Common | Rare | Epic | Legendary | Mythic |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Galactic | 3.95% → 3.87% | 2.88% → 4.14% | 3.07% → 4.46% | 1.67% → 3.24% | 0.91% → 1.79% |
| Stellar | 2.63% → 2.58% | 1.44% → 2.76% | 1.53% → 2.23% | 0.84% → 1.62% | 0.46% → 0.89% |
| Kyber | 1.32% → 2.58% | 0.72% → 1.38% | 0.38% → 0.74% | 0.42% → 0.81% | 0.23% → 0.45% |
| Scourge | New: 0.65% | New: 0.69% | New: 0.37% | New: 0.40% | New: 0.22% |
The 1.36.0 numbers are while Scourge spawns are on. Outside those windows the Scourge weight is 0 and every other variant is a little more likely.
World Missions
- New: missions grant a Scourge Blueprint Crate while Scourge spawns are on. Blueprint rewards can roll Scourge at 50%.
- Scourge Missions: Sunday, October 18, 2026 at 7:00 PM PDT (October 19, 2026, 2:00 AM UTC) to Sunday, November 1, 2026 at 7:00 PM PST (November 2, 2026, 3:00 AM UTC) → Sunday, October 18, 2026 at 1:00 PM PDT (8:00 PM UTC) to Sunday, November 1, 2026 at 12:00 PM PST (8:00 PM UTC).

In the Nova Shop it is the last Lobby Boosts card. The game files hide the Beskar Surge card there from the same time, October 24, 2026 at 1:00 PM PDT (8:00 PM UTC). This is read from the files, not yet seen in a live shop.
Droidex Collection Bonus
New: 25 Scourge droid types add +600% Credits Multi. Kyber's milestone is +400%.

This is a Droidex data fix. The game did not change. Its Kyber income multiplier is 35.2 / 35.2 / 88 / 165 / 137.5 (Common to Mythic), 1.1 times Stellar. Droidex showed Stellar's 32 / 32 / 80 / 150 / 125 before. Every Kyber droid's income on the site is 10% higher now.
