Snowline Supply Station Resource System
The mountain is a route machine. Every action spends body heat, signal power, time, or trust.
Resource meanings
Heat is body safety and determines whether exterior routes stay survivable. Battery powers radio work, antenna use, cable repair, and final signal capacity. Food supports waiting for weather windows and recovery. Visibility decides how long the snow route remains readable.
Rescue Signal measures whether the valley repeater can receive useful coordinates. Evidence measures how complete the case is, while Storm pressure shows whether the mountain is clear, snowing, in whiteout, or sealed.
Repairable versus final
Evidence gaps can usually be rebuilt by returning to Marker 03, the roster, the weather tower, the cable station, the crevasse, or the snow cave. A locked final route that asks for Evidence is telling you to keep investigating, not to force the ending.
Physical failures are more serious. Heat, Visibility, Battery, route markers, antenna state, cable repair, and snow cave coordinates decide whether a route can survive the final commitment. Fix those before opening the rescue board.
Final route checks
True Coordinates needs enough Evidence, a strong Rescue Signal, and the antenna raised. Cable Evacuation needs the cable fixed and enough Battery to start the drive. Snow Cave Rescue needs cave coordinates plus safe Heat and Visibility. Burn the Snow Marker needs deep Evidence and a confirmed false route.
White Line Lost and New Name on the Roster are failure outcomes caused by unsafe visibility, wrong footprints, morale collapse, or trusting the wrong voice. They are not random punishments; they follow from route safety and voice trust.
How to choose
If you want the clean rescue, prioritize Evidence and Rescue Signal together. If you want survival first, repair the cable and keep Battery above the final threshold. If you want to save the missing teammate directly, protect Heat and Visibility before following the GPS to the snow cave.
Before each exterior action, ask whether it confirms a marker, protects return safety, opens a route node, or creates final evidence. If it only follows a voice, make the station prove it first.
