--- About The Game ---
Set in an ultra-vast, procedurally generated, and eerily abandoned corporate convention center, The Infinite Expo is a multiplayer PvE survival building experience. Players are thrust into a liminal space where humanity has vanished, leaving the facility's rogue automated systems running amok.
By scavenging scattered furniture, equipment, and structural materials, players must con struct secure shelters to survive the night phases. The game perfectly balances the therapeutic, satisfying
feedback of grid-aligned snapping mechanics with the high-stakes tension of tactical tower defense.

Key Open Beta Features: Three Revolutionary Systems This Open Beta fully implements three core systems designed to overcome the classic limitations of Roblox survival games:
1. Anti-Grief Territorial Protection & Plug-and-Play Trap Defense ("Protect System")
By deploying a "Protect Core" inside their base, players can instantly secure their territory, completely shutting out griefing and unauthorized modifications from other players. Furthermore, defensive gadgets found during daytime exploration—such as sensor floodlights and electromagnetic shock panels—can be snapped onto walls and will function instantly with no tedious wiring required, creating an intuitive defense network to fend off rogue entity waves at night.
2. Cross-Server Permanent Base Saving ("Blueprint System")
Overcoming the notorious Roblox survival hurdle of losing hours of hard work due to server disconnects or world wipes, players can now save their entire base layout as a permanent "Blueprint" linked to their DataStore profile. When joining a new server or a fresh world instance, players can project their blueprint and seamlessly reconstruct their original home simply by supplying the raw materials.
3. Therapeutic "ASMR Mining System"
Material harvesting is elevated from a repetitive chore to a satisfying sensory experience. The developers have meticulously tuned the multi-layered impact audio when breaking down objects with pickaxes, delivering a deeply relaxing, high-fidelity ASMR soundscape that makes the resource gathering loop incredibly addictive.
