4. RESOURCE SYSTEMS

4.1 Primary Resources

  1. Cycles - Computational power

    • Used for research and running processes
    • Generated by servers and manual input

  2. Bandwidth - Network throughput

    • Used for data transfers and online operations
    • Generated by network infrastructure

  3. Storage - Data capacity

    • Required for storing programs and data
    • Expanded through hardware upgrades

4.2 Secondary Resources

  1. Research Points

    • Used to unlock new technologies
    • Generated by dedicated research processes

  2. Reputation

    • Determines quality of available upgrades
    • Gained through successful operations and challenges

  3. Security Tokens

    • Used for security upgrades
    • Obtained from security challenges and audits

4.3 Terminal-Specific Resources

  1. Cloud Credits - For cloud migration and services
  2. Quantum Bits - For quantum computing operations
  3. Crypto Tokens - For blockchain operations
  4. Neural Matter - For biological computing
  5. Temporal Fragments - For time manipulation

4.4 Resource Generation Formulas

  • Base generation rate × Number of generators × Efficiency modifier
  • Exponential cost increase for new generators
  • Diminishing returns on similar upgrades to encourage diversity
  • Formula: ResourceGain = BaseRate * (NumGenerators^0.8) * (1 + EfficiencyModifier)
  • Cost Scaling: Cost = BaseCost * (1.1^CurrentLevel)
