The core gameplay loop is as follows:

1. **Scavenge & Survive:**\
   Explore ruined cities and wastelands to gather resources (fuel, parts, food, water, ammunition) while avoiding or confronting undead hordes and environmental hazards.
2. **Customize & Upgrade:**\
   Use salvaged materials to repair, upgrade, and modularly customize your Titan—swapping out weapons, armour, mobility systems, and utility modules to suit your playstyle and mission needs.
3. **Combat & Encounter:**\
   Engage in dynamic combat against AI enemies (undead, mutants, rogue machines) and other player-controlled Titans. Combat is a blend of ranged gunplay, melee, and aerial/flying manoeuvres, with cockpit immersion and tactical depth.
4. **Base Building & Defense:**\
   Establish outposts or bases, fortify defences, and manage resources. Bases serve as respawn points, crafting hubs, and social spaces for alliances.
5. **Faction Interaction:**\
   Join or form factions, negotiate alliances, or wage war against rivals. Faction dynamics influence territory control, resource access, and narrative outcomes.
6. **Progression & Legacy:**\
   Level up your pilot and Titan, unlock new technologies, and shape the world’s fate through narrative choices and community-driven events.
