CoopQuest
About this model
Create a Machinations economy simulation for a casual mobile farming simulation game called CoopQuest.
Game concept: Player manages broiler chickens in a poultry farm. Chickens require 3 conditions to survive and be sold profitably: 1. Feeding 2. Cooling 3. Heating
If all 3 conditions are fulfilled, chicken sells for maximum profit. If 2 conditions are fulfilled, chicken sells for reduced profit. If only 1 condition is fulfilled, chicken sells at a loss. If 0 conditions are fulfilled, the chicken dies and sells for 0 gold.
Resources: - Gold - Chicken - Feed Stock
Initial values: - Starting Gold: 400 - Feed Stock: 0
Costs: - Buy Chicken: 40 gold - Buy Feed: 5 gold - Feed Purchase adds 1 Feed Stock - Auto Feeder Upgrade: 200 gold - Auto Fan Upgrade: 300 gold - Auto Heater Upgrade: 300 gold - Beginner Area Unlock: 1000 gold - Intermediate Area Unlock: 2500 gold
Chicken selling outcomes: - Perfect (3 conditions fulfilled): 90 gold - 2 conditions fulfilled: 60 gold - 1 condition fulfilled: 30 gold - 0 conditions fulfilled (dead chicken): 0 gold
Gameplay rules: - Buying a chicken creates one active chicken node. - Feeding consumes 1 Feed Stock. - Feeding success depends on whether feed exists. - Cooling and heating can be manual actions or automated if upgrades are purchased. - Auto upgrades are permanent and affect all chicken cages globally.
Simulation logic: - Player repeatedly buys chickens, buys feed, fulfills conditions, and sells chickens. - Include probabilistic branching: - Perfect outcome probability: adjustable - 2 conditions fulfilled probability: adjustable - 1 condition fulfilled probability: adjustable - dead chicken probability: adjustable
Suggested default probabilities: - Perfect: 40% - 2 fulfilled: 35% - 1 fulfilled: 15% - Dead: 10%
Machinations structure: - Source node for Gold - Pool node for Feed Stock - Pool node for Active Chickens - Converter for Buy Chicken - Converter for Buy Feed - State/Upgrade nodes for Auto Feeder, Auto Fan, Auto Heater - Probability Gate for chicken outcome - Converter nodes for selling outcomes - Sink nodes for spending gold - Progression gates for Beginner and Intermediate unlocks
KPIs to display: - Gold over time - Profit per chicken - Time to afford Auto Feeder - Time to afford Auto Fan - Time to afford Auto Heater - Time to unlock Beginner Area - Time to unlock Intermediate Area - Chicken death rate - Average player profit
Simulation goal: Evaluate whether the economy feels balanced for a casual mobile simulation game.
