After the Cockroaches were created, the city used the metal to produce grips and uniform steel plates.
These new plates would become relevant a couple months later.
Four months after the beginning of Roaching, Roaching was changed.
There were no more places close to the city center without any grips, and every single Roacher, the name of the people working on the city's underside, needed to travel at least 50 meters into the red mist.
Weak Johns with horrible Barriers would need to turn around just when they got to the place where they needed to put their grips.
Because of that, all Initial, Early, and Mid Johns were no longer required to work as Roachers.
Sadly, that also meant that the hours for the Late and Peak Johns increased, but there was nothing they could do about it.
After around ten months, a bit over half the underside of the city was covered in grips.
