Profile Modes decide what a profile is allowed to use. Your account can hold several profiles, and each one plays under a mode: Main, Ironman or Hardcore. Ironman and Hardcore are for players who want to earn everything themselves, with leaderboards that market wealth and help from other players cannot inflate.

Main No restrictions. This is normal Bconomy.
Ironman No Market and no direct transfers. Global boosts and Factions still work.
Hardcore Full solo. No Market, no direct transfers, no global boosts and no Faction.

Profiles

  • Every account has exactly one Main profile. It cannot be deleted on its own.
  • You can add one Ironman profile and one Hardcore profile.
  • Only one profile is active at a time. Switch from the profile switcher in the footer, or from Settings, Account, Profiles. Switching is ordinary navigation and never costs progress.
  • Deleting an Ironman or Hardcore profile is permanent and removes all its progress. You need to confirm it, and you do not need to delete a profile to go back to Main.
  • Hardcore is not a permadeath mode. Its rule is solo progression only.

What each mode can use

Feature Main Ironman Hardcore
Market Yes No No
Direct transfers and Giveaways Yes No No
Shared global Boosts Main pool Ironman pool No
Factions Main groups Ironman groups No
Ball Pit Main pool Ironman pool Instant solo payout with Mystical Balls
Fun House Duels and Poker Main players Ironman players No
Own Leaderboards Global only Global and Ironman Global and Hardcore
Supply Depot No Yes Yes
Solo Vault No No Yes

Everything you earn yourself stays available in every mode: looting, Crafting, tools, the Farm, the Relay Network, Pets, Prestige, the rank ladder and Quests.

Ironman

An Ironman profile earns everything it owns. Two ways of getting value from other players are turned off:

  • You cannot list, buy or delist on the Market.
  • You cannot receive eggs or items sent by other players, and you cannot host or enter Giveaways.

It still gets global boosts such as the Pulsator and Amplifiers, and it can join a Faction. Factions are separated by profile type, so an Ironman joins an Ironman Faction, and the global boost pool is shared only with other Ironman profiles.

Hardcore

A Hardcore profile is the full solo challenge. It has every Ironman restriction plus two more, so nothing it gains can come from another player, directly or in the background.

  • No global boosts. Eligible self-only Specials can stand in for shared effects without help from other players.
  • No Faction. A personal solo Vault gives Hardcore its own stepped boosts for loot and Bosses. Vault Routing can send Mint output into it.
  • No shared Ball Pit. Mystical Balls pay out instantly instead.

Leaderboards

Every profile appears on the global Leaderboards. Ironman profiles also compete on their own Ironman leaderboards, and Hardcore profiles on their own Hardcore leaderboards, so your solo effort is measured against other solo players.

The Supply Depot

Because Ironman and Hardcore cannot use the Market, both get the Supply Depot, a game-stocked store for spending BC. Everything in it is stocked by the game, never sourced from other players. It unlocks at the Missing game reference: unlockRequirement rank on those profiles.
