Simulation Specific Elements

Core Simulation Systems

{{simulation_systems}}

What’s being simulated:

• Primary simulation focus (city, farm, business, ecosystem, etc.)
• Simulation depth (abstract vs. realistic)
• System interconnections
• Emergent behaviors
• Simulation tickrate and performance

Management Mechanics

{{management_mechanics}}

Management systems:

• Resource management (budget, materials, time)
• Decision-making mechanics
• Automation vs. manual control
• Delegation systems (if applicable)
• Efficiency optimization

Building and Construction

{{building_construction}}

Construction systems:

• Placeable objects/structures
• Grid system (free placement, snap-to-grid, tiles)
• Building prerequisites and unlocks
• Upgrade/demolition mechanics
• Space constraints and planning

Economic and Resource Loops

{{economic_loops}}

Economic design:

• Income sources
• Expenses and maintenance
• Supply chains (if applicable)
• Market dynamics
• Economic balance and pacing

Progression and Unlocks

{{progression_unlocks}}

Progression systems:

• Unlock conditions (achievements, milestones, levels)
• Tech/research tree
• New mechanics/features over time
• Difficulty scaling
• Endgame content

Sandbox vs. Scenario

{{sandbox_scenario}}

Game modes:

• Sandbox mode (unlimited resources, creative freedom)
• Scenario/campaign mode (specific goals, constraints)
• Challenge modes
• Random/procedural scenarios
• Custom scenario creation
