- **Resonance pylon: metal sets hardness, power sets reach (t47, 2026-10-27).** A pylon is built
in copper, iron or steel, which caps the hardest rock it can break (4, 5, 6), the same way
bits and tanks step up through metals. Power from the shaft network sets its radius and pulse
rate, up to a cap per metal; power never sets hardness, so it can't skip the steel bit. It is
tuned like the drill and never harms anything built. It waits until power is switched back on,
since today every machine runs without power.
