Act as a Game Economy...
About this model
Act as a Game Economy Architect and generate a Machinations.io diagram model for the incremental game "Sand Miner Incremental".
MODEL ELEMENTS & TOPOLOGY:
1. POOLS: - Pool_Funds: Currency (Soft). Starts at 0. - Pool_Gems: Currency (Hard). Starts at 0. Persists through resets. - Pool_DigPower: Operational Energy. Max Capacity = 20 * (1 + 0.5 * Level_PowerCapacity) * (1.5 ^ Level_NuclearPowerCells). Starts at Max. - Pool_ExposedOres: Integer count of currently exposed ores in a sector. - Level Pools for Regular Upgrades (DrillRadius, DrillSpeed, PowerCapacity, MiningStrength, AutoDiggers, DiggerSpeed, ExtractionDrones, ExtractionRate, ResourceValue). - Level Pools for Prestige Upgrades (PermValueMult, PermSpeedMult, PermPowerMult, PermGemSpawn, PermDroneRate).
2. SOURCES: - Source_Sand: Generates sand pixels per level (default grid ~40,000 pixels). - Source_Ores: Spawns 4 to 8 ores per sector (Copper: $10, Gold: $50, Diamond: $200, Uranium: $800). - Source_GemVeins: Spawns Prestige Gems (1 Gem) at base 25% chance * (1.5 ^ Level_PermGemSpawn).
3. DRAINS & CONSUMPTION: - Drain_DigPower_Sand: Consumes DigPower at rate = (SandPixelsCleared * 0.05). - Drain_DigPower_Mining: Consumes DigPower on ore hit = (OrePowerCost / MiningPowerEfficiency). - Drain_Funds_EntryFee: Consumes Funds upon starting level ($0, $20, $100).
4. CONVERTERS & FORMULAS: - Ore Sale Converter: Yield = BaseOreValue * (1 + 0.25 * Level_ResourceValue) * (2.0 ^ Level_PermValueMult) * ComboMultiplier. Transfers value into Pool_Funds. - Upgrade Cost Formulas: - Regular Upgrades Cost = floor(BaseCost * (CostMult ^ Level)) paid from Pool_Funds. - Prestige Upgrades Cost = floor(BaseCostGems * (CostMult ^ Level)) paid from Pool_Gems.
5. PRESTIGE RESET TRIGGER (Quantum Reset): - Condition: Triggered when progression slows. - Action: Resets Pool_Funds to 0, resets all Regular Upgrade pools to 0, resets unlocked level state, retains Pool_Gems and Prestige Upgrade Pools.
OBJECTIVE FOR SIMULATION: Simulate the optimal purchase sequence of Regular Upgrades vs. Level Unlocks vs. Quantum Prestige Resets to maximize Funds/sec and minimize total time to max out the Prestige Skill Tree.
