Config files use the TOML format. The following config files drive game parameters:
- **world.toml** — world dimensions, region widths, expansion amounts, building refund percentage, wave timing, boss wave timing, enemy ship level formula, belt speed, starting building blocks, departure interval, ship orbit factor, rally orbit radius, combat target-selection parameters (target score formula, overclaim penalty formula, target hysteresis), artifact chance formula, and artifact win count.
- **world.toml** — world dimensions, region widths, expansion amounts, building refund percentage, wave timing, boss wave timing, enemy ship level formula, belt speed, starting building blocks, departure interval, ship orbit factor, rally orbit radius, scrap-per-threat conversion, combat target-selection parameters (target score formula, overclaim penalty formula, target hysteresis), artifact chance formula, and artifact win count.
- **buildings.toml** — building block cost and construction time per building type.
- **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).
- **ships.toml** — per schematic: a human-readable display name (used in the UI), hull stats (HP, max linear speed, sensor range, main acceleration, maneuvering acceleration, angular acceleration, max rotation speed) as formulas of ship level, required build materials, player production level, the station level at which the schematic becomes available for unlock (`unlock_at_station_level`; -1 means the player starts with the schematic already unlocked), a layout grid defining the ship's module slots, a `scrap_drop` loot value, and a `default_modules` list used for enemy wave ships (see REQ-WAV-DEFAULT-MODULES).
- **ships.toml** — per schematic: a human-readable display name (used in the UI), hull stats (HP, max linear speed, sensor range, main acceleration, maneuvering acceleration, angular acceleration, max rotation speed) as formulas of ship level, required build materials, player production level, the station level at which the schematic becomes available for unlock (`unlock_at_station_level`; -1 means the player starts with the schematic already unlocked), a layout grid defining the ship's module slots, and a `default_modules` list used for enemy wave ships (see REQ-WAV-DEFAULT-MODULES).
- **modules.toml** — per module type: id, surface mask, materials list, initial player production level, production time, fill color, glyph, the station level at which the schematic becomes available for unlock (`unlock_at_station_level`; -1 means the player starts with the module schematic already unlocked), and an optional capability section and/or stat modifier formulas. A module with a capability section (`[module.weapon]`, `[module.salvage]`, or `[module.repair]`) containing base stat formulas is a **capability module** that grants the ship a weapon, salvage bay, or repair tool per instance (see REQ-MOD-CONFIG for the full list of formulas per capability type). A module with only `added_*`/`multiplied_*` formulas is a **passive module** that modifies stats on the ship or on capability module instances (see REQ-MOD-STAT-CALC).
- **stations.toml** — HP, damage, range, fire rate, and scrap drop for player and enemy defence stations, defined as formulas of station level.
- **visuals.toml** — rendering-only config (not game parameters): fill and outline colors and glyphs for every building type, item type, ship schematic, and station type; a distinct beam color per tool type (weapon, repair, salvage) and beam width; overlay and toast colors. Loaded by the UI at startup; the simulation does not read it.

## Resources
- REQ-RES-SCRAP-DROP: Destroyed ships (both player and enemy) and destroyed defence stations (both player and enemy) drop scrap at their location. The scrap amount per ship is defined in `ships.toml [ship.loot].scrap_drop`; for stations it is defined as `stations.toml [player_station].scrap_drop_formula` and `[enemy_station].scrap_drop_formula`. A scrap drop carries an amount; salvage modules collect it one scrap per cycle (REQ-SHP-SALVAGE), and the drop is removed from the world once its remaining amount reaches zero or `world.toml [world].scrap_despawn_seconds` seconds have elapsed since it was dropped, whichever comes first.
- REQ-RES-SCRAP-DROP: Destroyed ships (both player and enemy) and destroyed defence stations (both player and enemy) drop scrap at their location. The scrap amount per ship is derived from the ship's threat cost (REQ-MOD-THREAT) for its as-built layout, multiplied by `world.toml [world].scrap_per_threat` (default 0.01) and rounded to the nearest integer (at least 1 for any ship whose threat cost is greater than 0); for stations it is defined as `stations.toml [player_station].scrap_drop_formula` and `[enemy_station].scrap_drop_formula`. A scrap drop carries an amount; salvage modules collect it one scrap per cycle (REQ-SHP-SALVAGE), and the drop is removed from the world once its remaining amount reaches zero or `world.toml [world].scrap_despawn_seconds` seconds have elapsed since it was dropped, whichever comes first.
- REQ-RES-SCRAP-COLLECT: Scrap is collected by salvage ships and delivered to a Salvage Bay on the asteroid. From there it can be fed via belt into a smelter (same output as ore) or a Reprocessing Plant.

- **Reprocessing-only item** (an item type that has no miner, smelter, or assembler recipe producing it, and is only obtainable via reprocessing): `(scrap_threat × scrap_per_cycle + duration_seconds) / probability`, where `scrap_threat` is the threat value of scrap (see REQ-THREAT-SCRAP), `scrap_per_cycle` is the number of scrap consumed per reprocessing cycle, `duration_seconds` is the reprocessing cycle time, and `probability` is the normalized weight of that item in the reprocessing output pool.
- **Multiple recipes**: if an item type can be produced by more than one non-reprocessing recipe (miner, smelter, or assembler), its threat value is the **maximum** across all such recipes. The reprocessing path is only used when no other recipe exists.
- REQ-THREAT-SCRAP: The threat value of scrap is derived from the ship schematic with the smallest configured `scrap_drop` value (from `ships.toml [ship.loot].scrap_drop`). Scrap threat = that ship's threat cost (REQ-MOD-THREAT) / that ship's `scrap_drop` value. If multiple schematics share the same smallest `scrap_drop`, any one of them may be used.
- REQ-THREAT-SCRAP: The threat value of scrap is the constant `1 / world.toml [world].scrap_per_threat`. This is the exact inverse of the scrap-drop conversion in REQ-RES-SCRAP-DROP, so a destroyed ship drops scrap worth precisely its own threat cost. Because scrap threat is now a fixed constant, it no longer depends on any ship's threat cost, removing the potential circularity with REQ-MOD-THREAT for ships built from reprocessing-only materials.
- REQ-MOD-STAT-CALC: For each stat (on the ship hull or on a capability module instance), the final value is computed as: `final = base × total_multiplier + total_additive`, where:
- `base` is the stat's base formula evaluated at the ship's production level (for hull stats) or at the capability module's `player_production_level` (for capability module stats).
- `total_multiplier` = 1 + sum of (m_i 1) for each multiplicative modifier m_i from all passive module instances. Each m_i is evaluated from the module's multiplicative formula at the module's `player_production_level`.
