Ever wanted to prove you could build it all yourself, with no market, no handouts, and no shortcuts? <strong>Ironman mode</strong> is here. Your account can now hold extra <strong>profiles</strong>, each playing under its own <strong>mode</strong> that decides what it is allowed to use, all sharing a single login.

In short, you can now:

* create <strong>Ironman</strong> and <strong>Hardcore</strong> profiles alongside your Main,
* compete on their own <strong>solo leaderboards</strong>,
* spend BC at the brand new <strong>Supply Depot</strong>,
* and wear each mode’s own <strong>flair and colours</strong>.

For the full rundown, <strong>continue to the full post</strong>.

=== Profiles and modes ===

Every account still has exactly one <strong>Main</strong> profile: normal Bconomy, no restrictions, and it can never be deleted on its own. On top of that you can now create restricted profiles that share your account but keep their own rank, items, and progress. Only one profile is active at a time, and you switch between them from the <strong>profile switcher in the footer</strong> (or from Settings, Account, Profiles).

=== Ironman and Hardcore ===

The idea behind a restricted profile is simple: everything it owns, it earned. An <strong>Ironman</strong> profile turns off the market and direct transfers, but keeps global boosts and faction benefits. A <strong>Hardcore</strong> profile is the full solo challenge, with boosts and factions switched off too, so nothing you gain ever comes from another player. Seasonal profiles are on their way, but not just yet.

=== Your own leaderboards and identity ===

Solo effort deserves its own scoreboard. Ironman and Hardcore profiles compete on their <strong>own leaderboards</strong> as well as the global ones, so your grind is measured against other solo players and not against market wealth. Each mode also wears its own <strong>flair</strong>: a marker next to your name (🔨 for Ironman, 💀 for Hardcore) and a matching colour scheme you can adjust in customization.

=== The Supply Depot ===

No market does not mean nowhere to spend. Restricted profiles get the <strong>Supply Depot</strong>, a game-stocked store that never touches other players’ goods. It stocks basic materials and consumables, restocked once a day, with the range of items on offer unlocked by your <strong>Mercantilist</strong> perk and the amounts growing with your rank and tier. Prices sit above the market floor, so it is a handy last resort rather than a shortcut. Each day it also features one rotating <strong>rare item</strong>, the same for every player. And the <strong>Insider</strong> perk, which lowers the market fee, now lowers the Depot fee too, so leveling it makes everything here a little cheaper.

=== See your other profiles ===

Open any profile and you will find an <strong>Other profiles</strong> section listing the account’s other profiles and their trophy counts, each a tap away. Your solo achievements are there for everyone to see.

=== In short ===

Spin up a profile, cut yourself off from the market, and see how far you can get on your own. Main players lose nothing, and the die-hards finally have a mountain to climb. Good luck going solo.
