Engineering
Updated for Brotato 1.2.0.1 · checked 2026-11-05
Engineering changes structure damage and structure healing. Structures do not gain your melee, ranged, elemental, or generic damage stats. They do pick up secondary stats and item effects. Plank and Screwdriver are called out because their damage does read engineering. Check the weapon’s own scaling rather than assuming every melee attack uses Engineering.
Cyborg converts ranged damage into engineering during the wave. Engineer clusters structures. Streamer gains 2 armor per structure. Old shrinks the map. Pocket Factory counts as a structure when it spawns a turret from a tree. I link those pages instead of repeating every kit.
If a guide tells you to buy engineering on a gun-only King, I would ignore that sentence. The stat is not a second damage percent.

FAQ
Do turrets scale with ranged damage?
Not from the engineering page. They scale with engineering, unless a character such as Cyborg is converting ranged into engineering first.
Does Screwdriver count?
The wiki says Plank and Screwdriver damage reads engineering. That is the exception, not the gun rule.
