Fog Lamp Station Resource System
Resources are not decoration. They decide what you can safely explore, repair, broadcast, or survive.
What each resource means
Power supports the lamp, locks, generator work, and transmitter stability. Fuel keeps the fog lamp alive. Heat limits seawall and dock actions. Mind controls how safely you interpret abnormal signals. Signal measures radio readiness. Clue count decides whether final evidence routes are strong enough.
Fog is shown as pressure, not just atmosphere. When fog moves closer, low power, weak lamp pressure, unsafe heat, or unstable signal can turn a final route into a failure outcome.
Recoverable versus final
Evidence gaps are recoverable. If a final route asks for more clues, return to the Watch Room, Archive Room, Radio Voice, Lamp System, or Seawall Beacon routes and deepen the case.
Resource and safety failures are stricter. Low power, missing boat key, missing flare, unconfirmed escape route, unchecked engine, low heat, or unstable signal can close a committed final route for good.
- Recoverable: missing clues, unfinished evidence chain, unexplored route nodes
- Resource failure: low power, spent fuel, unstable final signal
- Safety failure: low heat, missing dock preparation, missing route confirmation
Final route thresholds
The final route matrix turns hidden risk into visible checks. It is not a scorecard; it is a commitment screen for the routes that can still work.
Do not click a final route just because it appears. Read whether the blocker is evidence, resource, safety, pace, or map depth. Evidence can be rebuilt. Failed safety should be fixed before the final choice.
- Truth Broadcast needs turn 28, 6 map nodes, 6 clues, signal 60, and mind 50.
- Rescue Call needs turn 28, 6 map nodes, signal 80, and power 30.
- Dock Escape needs turn 28, 6 map nodes, boat key, signal flare, checked engine, confirmed return route, and heat 45.
- Keeper needs turn 28, 6 map nodes, and all 8 clues.
How to choose
If you only want rescue, prioritize signal, power, and final route review. If you want the truth, prioritize archive cross-checks, radio evidence, lamp purpose, and the second signal source. If you want escape, prepare the dock as a physical route instead of treating the boat as a shortcut.
Before each action, ask whether it opens a node, reveals a clue, repairs a system, protects Heat, or only spends time. Actions without clear value should wait until the route is stable.
