TCU : RE-CODE guides

This hub is the map for Toilet Collapsed Universe while TCU : RE-CODE is still upcoming. Legacy TCU remains fully playable on Roblox with online partner co-op, wave modes, banners, and badge quests. Use these guides to learn the lobby, clear modes efficiently, unlock strong units, and prepare for the rebuild without treating Recode as if it has already shipped.

Start with Getting Started if you just joined the official place. Jump to How to Play when you need wave counts, Resources, Toilet Souls, and Titan Protocol rules. Open Controls for playable and partner inputs, including mobile UTCM limits. Use Hard Mode when you are ready for the solo GMAN 3.0 route. Farm unlocks with How to Get Units, and read Recode migration before you spend Resources on things that will not transfer 1:1.

What these guides cover

• First-session lobby flow: Event, Casual, Private, playable plus partner picks
• Mode rewards for Easy, Medium, Hard, Boss Rush, Infinity, Zombie, and Invasion / Denver
• Titan Protocol at the map center golden toilet and the one-of-each titan rule
• Banner spending order, live codes, and partner badge quests
• Hard Mode wave 12 and wave 15 fight plans
• What Recode is expected to keep, wipe, or compensate
• New how-tos: Prometheus badge, Sandbox, Denver / Invasion, X-18, Watchwoman of Doom, Villain Arc, gifts badge

Pair the guide tree with the unit tier list, titan rankings, and character pages for UTCM, Astro Polycephaly, and the Titan Trio. Patch timing lives on the updates hub and the dedicated Recode update page. Official boards stay on the Trello link (https://trello.com/b/C7KzUm04/tcu-official-trello) and Discord at discord.gg/toiletcollapseduniverse.

Recommended reading order

1. Redeem live codes from the codes hub through Menu → Config, then follow how to redeem if Config rejects a string.
2. Finish one Easy Mode clear using the getting started checklist so you understand Resources and Toilet Souls.
3. Learn ability keys on controls before you burn banners.
4. Pull beginner-safe banners listed in how to get units instead of Standard Unveiling the Shadow.
5. Practice Medium, then attempt Hard Mode with a strong playable and partner.
6. Track wipe risk on Recode migration so Titan Trio and upgraded titans do not surprise you.
7. When the hub dropdown fills up, open this page — extra guides such as Prometheus, Sandbox, Denver, X-18, Watchwoman of Doom, Villain Arc, and gifts live here.

Type ?end in chat when you need to abandon a round cleanly. Banners cost 120 Resources and refresh hourly. Beginners should prefer Vigilance Ascendant (Refined), Verdict of the Void (Genesis), Resonance of Ascension, or Doomsday Covenant over Standard Unveiling the Shadow or Echoes of Rebirth.

Tools and side paths

Use the resource planner when you are budgeting Boss Rush clears against banner pity. Script users who accept Roblox risk can review the scripts hub, auto farm, and executor setup pages — guides here assume fair play first. Expired promo strings belong on expired codes, not in Config spam.

FStudio / Frost Workshop continue supporting legacy TCU while Recode is built as a new place. Treat every guide on this hub as advice for the current live game, with explicit callouts when a tip only matters for the upcoming rebuild. Come back after major patches: mode payouts, banner rates, and migration rules can shift, and this hub is the fastest way to re-enter the correct child guide.
