Request: When a UFO builds Clankers from armour scrap, how strong should they be? Today they come out at the strength of the current wave, even when the scrap is old.

Why: Old scrap from weak early enemies turned into full-strength modern Clankers.

Plan (decided): every armour plate remembers the wave it fell off in, and the Magnet's scrap piles too. A UFO builds its Clankers at the average age of the scrap it gathered, weighted by how much armour each piece was, never stronger than the UFO's own wave. Old scrap gives more, weaker Clankers; the armour that goes in is still what fell. A rebuilt Clanker's card says "Rebuilt from wave N scrap".

Added in 0.1.8.25 (Oct 23, 2026, 8:53 AM Eastern).

Every armour plate remembers the wave it fell off in. A UFO builds its Clankers at the average age of the scrap it gathered, never stronger than its own wave: old scrap makes more but weaker Clankers. Enemy cards now also show each enemy's level, and a rebuilt Clanker's card says which wave's scrap it came from.
