Ethranet Explorer

An independent retro desktop and in-game browser for every survivor. MICRO is not required.

Use a free Shrine of the Desktop near each combat stage's starting area or in the Bazaar. Portable Computer equipment opens the same desktop anywhere (10-second base cooldown). X or Escape closes it and restores normal controls. While browsing, enemies cannot target you, damage and healing are blocked, shields/barrier cannot replenish, and item effects are disabled until you leave. Your items remain in your inventory. Existing barrier can expire. Other players keep playing.

Websites

• ebayzaar: Buy and sell ordinary items. Portable Computer is always listed first for 1x normal chest cost in DEBIT, separate from the 1–5 random item offers. Equipment purchases use native swapping.
• Ukeletsy: Six unique pink listings per stage. Each slot independently rolls 5CSV (50%), 10CSV (one third), or 20CSV (one sixth), with no fixed mix. CSV means the normal chest cost on the current stage. Each item combines two or three budgeted effects, with effect-based names and independently chosen baked pink icons. Listings hint at each item’s character and quality; inventory tooltips summarize its mechanics. Pink items work for all survivors. Includes the complete 31-trigger / 35-effect library, plus critical chance, high-health damage and revival. See PINK_ITEMS.md for details.
• Bank of Aurelionite: DEBIT carries money between stages in a run. OFF-SHORE persists between runs for the player's local RoR2 profile. Deposits use the existing compounded, rounded-up exchange rate; withdrawals go to DEBIT.
• DRONES-R-US: Gunner Drone and three random drones, paid through DEBIT.
• Desktop Depot: Coming soon.
• Bonzi Online, Corrupted BonziBUDDY, and Clippy's Shop: Independent shop pages retained for their rework. All models, sprites and audio remain bundled. Transactions are not available yet. Paper Clips remain registered; their new use and purchase terms are pending. There is no Integrity system.
• Survivor's Field Guide, Microgame Library, and ETHRANET: Information and navigation.

World purchases use wallet gold. Website purchases and earnings use DEBIT. Use the GOLD > DEBIT arrow or the bank to transfer money.

Existing OFF-SHORE files remain in the game's persistent save directory under MicroGamer/Bank. The legacy folder is intentionally retained so updates and this split preserve existing accounts. Saves follow the local RoR2 profile rather than the lobby host. No external banking service or internet connection is used.
