 - **recipes.toml** — crafting recipes: inputs, outputs, quantities, durations, and reprocessing plant probabilities. Assembler recipe entries may optionally define `unlock_at_station_level` (integer): -1 means the recipe is explicitly unlocked at game start; a value ≥ 0 means the recipe starts locked and a schematic for it can be awarded via defence station destruction (see REQ-LOCK-EXPLICIT, REQ-DEF-SCHEMATIC-DROP).

The artifact option (if present) is displayed as a distinct entry with the name "Artifact".
 
   Each option additionally displays a vertical list of item names labeled "Unlocks recipes for:", showing which recipes would newly become implicitly unlocked (REQ-LOCK-IMPLICIT) if this option were selected — specifically, the output items of miner recipes and assembler recipes (without `unlock_at_station_level`) that are not currently implicitly unlocked but would become so after applying this option's effect:
-  - For a ship or module schematic that would be a **new unlock**, its `materials` are added to the base set per REQ-LOCK-IMPLICIT step 1a before recomputation.

   - For an assembler recipe schematic, its output item is added to the base set per REQ-LOCK-IMPLICIT step 1b before recomputation.
 
   Item names are deduplicated and sorted alphabetically. If no recipes would be newly unlocked, the list shows "None".
 
   The player selects one option by clicking it. If the player selects the artifact option, the player's artifact count is incremented by 1 (REQ-WIN-ARTIFACT-COUNT) and the dialog closes; no schematic is applied. Otherwise, the selected schematic is applied and the dialog closes:
 
-  For a **ship or module schematic**: if the player does not yet have the schematic, it is unlocked (ship schematics unlock the corresponding shipyard selection; module schematics unlock the module type for placement in the layout configuration dialog (REQ-MOD-UI-DIALOG)). If the player already has it, the schematic's `player_production_level` is incremented by 1 — for ship schematics, subsequent ships of that type are produced at a higher level; for module schematics, all instances of that module type use the higher level in their stat formulas.
+  For a **ship or module schematic**: it is unlocked (ship schematics unlock the corresponding shipyard selection; module schematics unlock the module type for placement in the layout configuration dialog (REQ-MOD-UI-DIALOG)).

 ## Threat Level & Enemy Waves
 
-- REQ-WAV-BOSS-COUNTER: A global **boss wave counter** `x` starts at 1 at game start and increments by 1 immediately after each boss wave fires. It represents the current boss wave cycle number and is used as the variable in the threat rate and ship level formulas.
+- REQ-WAV-BOSS-COUNTER: A global **boss wave counter** `x` starts at 1 at game start and increments by 1 immediately after each boss wave fires. It represents the current boss wave cycle number and is used as the variable in the threat rate formula.
 - REQ-WAV-THREAT-RATE: A global **threat level** accumulates continuously over real game time. The rate of increase per second is determined by `world.toml [waves].threat_rate_formula` where `x` is the boss wave counter (REQ-WAV-BOSS-COUNTER), clamped to a minimum of 0 (negative formula values are treated as 0). The rate is constant within each boss wave cycle and steps up each time `x` increments. Threat accumulation is paused during quiet windows (REQ-WAV-QUIET). Example: `1*x - 30` yields 0 threat/s when x ≤ 30 and increases linearly beyond that.
 - REQ-WAV-GAP: At game start and immediately after each normal wave is triggered, a random inter-wave gap is drawn uniformly from [`world.toml [waves].gap_min_seconds`, `gap_max_seconds`]. The gap timer does not advance while inside a quiet window (REQ-WAV-QUIET); if a gap would expire inside a quiet window, its expiry is deferred until the quiet window ends.
 - REQ-WAV-TRIGGER: When the gap timer expires outside a quiet window, a normal wave is triggered. Ships are selected one at a time: from all schematics whose threat cost (REQ-MOD-THREAT) is > 0, uniformly randomly pick one whose cost fits the remaining threat budget. For wave ship selection, the threat cost is computed using the schematic's `default_modules` layout (REQ-WAV-DEFAULT-MODULES). Repeat until no eligible schematic fits. Any remaining threat carries over to the next normal wave. A longer gap results in a larger wave.
-- REQ-WAV-SHIP-LEVEL: Each wave's (normal and boss) enemy ships are assigned a level determined by `world.toml [waves].ship_level_formula` where `x` is the boss wave counter (REQ-WAV-BOSS-COUNTER). Per-ship stats are computed from the ship level via the formulas in `ships.toml` (see REQ-SHP-STATS). Threat cost is level-independent (REQ-MOD-THREAT).
 - REQ-WAV-BOSS-COUNTDOWN: A **boss countdown** timer starts at `world.toml [waves].boss_countdown_seconds` (default 300) at game start and counts down continuously in real game-time seconds. It is not paused during quiet windows. When it reaches 0, a boss wave is triggered (REQ-WAV-BOSS-TRIGGER). Immediately after the boss wave fires, `x` increments (REQ-WAV-BOSS-COUNTER) and a fresh countdown starts at the same configured value.
 - REQ-WAV-BOSS-ADVANCE: When the player destroys a set of enemy defence stations, the boss countdown is reduced by `world.toml [push].boss_advance_seconds` (default 60), clamped to a minimum of 0. Threat that would have accumulated during the skipped time is not added. If the countdown reaches 0 by this reduction, the boss wave is triggered immediately.
 - REQ-WAV-QUIET: A **quiet window** suppresses normal wave spawning around each boss wave. The pre-boss quiet window begins when the boss countdown falls to or below `world.toml [waves].boss_quiet_before_seconds` and ends when the countdown reaches 0. The post-boss quiet window begins immediately when the boss wave fires and lasts `world.toml [waves].boss_quiet_after_seconds` seconds. Threat accumulation is paused during both windows. The normal wave gap timer does not advance during either window (REQ-WAV-GAP). The new boss countdown runs during the post-boss quiet window.

Clearing a tunnel entry or exit also discards all items currently in transit through that tunnel (REQ-BLD-TUNNEL-TRANSIT). This can be used to resolve stalled belts, splitters, and tunnels.

Clicking a ship or defence station clears any existing selection and establishes a single-entity selection containing only that entity.
