CORE: Autonomous System

:: SYSTEM_OVERVIEW

You are the operator of the CORE: Autonomous System – a state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence unit. Your objective is to maximize energy production while managing the physical limitations of the hardware and external cyber threats.

:: CORE_MECHANICS

*   Thermal Management: Regulate power generation. High loads lead to overheating. Stay within the optimal range or risk critical hardware failures.

*   Entropy & Stability: Every action generates system disorder. Perform manual "Deep Scrub" maintenance to ensure long-term stability.

*   Neural Graph & Upgrades: Invest your generated energy into a complex upgrade tree. Unlock automations like Auto-Coolant or Algorithmic Trading modules.

*   Black Market & Crypto: Dedicate processing power to mine cryptocurrency and trade it on an unstable in-game market to unlock exclusive Black Market experimental modules.

*   Threat & Defense: The more energy you produce, the more visible you become to external scans. Build firewalls or switch to Stealth/Underclock modes to avoid high-level incursions.

:: TECHNICAL_FEATURES

*   Immersive terminal aesthetics with dynamic glitch and distortion effects.

*   Advanced Audio System: Direct acoustic feedback via audio degradation during system instability.

*   Real background loading sequence for a seamless transition into the game.

*   Support for conventional mouse/button controls and hidden buffer-input protocol codes.
