Building Tiers
Upgrading the workshop increases the blueprint module cap.
Modules
- See also: Modules
Modules are used to upgrade the tower. As the name implies, they are modular and thus can be switched around freely.
Clicking a module opens the info and upgrade menu above the module storage area. 
is information; 
is stats. The x1, x5, and x25 options purchase levels by that amount if possible. 10% and 100% uses that percentage of your resources in upgrading the module. MAX instantly maximizes the module if possible.
Modules can be upgraded up to level 100 at the base tier, except for certain Modules like Attack Speed.
Your module will be at the level you upgraded them to in the workshop when you start a new Tower Testing session.
For example, if you upgrade your module 5 times in the workshop you'll start with a level 5 module during tower testing.
If you have upgraded your module 395 times in the workshop at tier 4 and it has a max level of 100, you only need to upgrade 5 times during tower testing for the max stat.
The first green number in the image to the right showing the module stats view is (ModuleTier * MaxModuleBaseLevel) - ModuleLevel
The second number indicates how many times you need to upgrade the module during tower testing with XP to have that stat.
The third yellow number that is shown when you hover over the upgrade button is what the stats will be after you upgrade the module in the workshop.
Additional module tiers are unlocked at higher military tiers inside the headquarters. Each additional tier increases the maximum level cap of a module by 100 each tier, and usually increases a static effect of the module.
Percentage based modules are usually capped at tier 5, additive modules are usually infinite.
There are five categories of modules:
Offensive
Increases damage output or ability to kill enemies.
Defensive
Increases tower survivability.
Utility
Gives a benefit that is not necessarily offensive or defense. May be economic benefit, or a complementary boost to offensive and defensive capabilities.
Ultimate
Rare modules that have extremely intensive boosts, which can be offensive, defensive, or even utility. Usually found as ending goals in laboratory or super hard goals in arcade. (Probably eventually)
Special
Very rare modules that has special attribute and can change the entire tower type entirely. This category is hidden on the workshop filter but will be revealed once received at least 1 special module. Can be found in hard challenges.
Active Modules
Active Modules are a sub-category of modules that require manual activation in game, using up energy, and which can be any of the 4 categories.
Blueprint
The blueprint is where modules become active, and are inactive when in storage.
Double clicking a module places them in the blueprint. Click and dragging also works.
Blueprint has a module limit.
