⚔️ Features

Core Gameplay

• 5 Board Tiers - Copper, Iron, Gold, Diamond, and Netherite. Higher tiers unlock harder expeditions, passive bonuses, and more modes.
• 11 Expeditions - 8 standard expeditions (Forest Forage, Shoreline Survey, Cave Delve, Berry Grove Harvest, Volcanic Survey, Deep Sea Dive, Frozen Ruins, Distortion Rift) plus 3 boss encounters.
• TEP System - Team Expedition Power is calculated from type advantages, IVs, EVs, party size, hazard mitigation, and augment bonuses.
• 4 Outcome Tiers - Expeditions resolve as GREAT, SUCCESS, PARTIAL, or FAIL - each with different loot quantities and quality.
• Pokémon & Player XP - Pokémon gain experience and players earn vanilla XP upon claiming rewards.

Board Upgrades

• In-Place Upgrades - Upgrade your board from Copper to Netherite using block materials without breaking it. The entire 3×2 multiblock transforms in place.
• Tier Bonuses - Each upgrade grants passive bonuses: extra expedition slots, faster expeditions, better loot, higher great success chances, improved hazard mitigation, and newly unlocked modes.
• Progression Path - Copper → Iron (8 Iron Blocks) → Gold (8 Gold Blocks) → Diamond (8 Diamond Blocks) → Netherite (8 Netherite Blocks).

Boss Expeditions

• 3 Boss Encounters - Legendary Sighting, Titan's Den, and Ultra Wormhole. High-risk, high-reward endgame challenges requiring massive team power.
• Entry Costs - Boss expeditions consume items to start (default: Enchanted Golden Apple). Configurable per expedition.
• Weekly Cooldowns - Boss expeditions have a 1-week cooldown between attempts.
• Exclusive Loot - Master Balls, Ability Patches, Choice items, Life Orbs, Focus Sashes, mints, Nether Stars, and more.

Fatigue System

• Pokémon Fatigue - Pokémon gain fatigue after each expedition, reducing their TEP contribution by 10% per level.
• Exhaustion - At max fatigue (5 levels), Pokémon are exhausted and cannot be sent on expeditions until they rest.
• Natural Recovery - Fatigue recovers at 1 level per hour. Boss expeditions cause double fatigue.
• Anti-Spam - Prevents sending the same Pokémon endlessly, encouraging roster diversity.

Augments

• 5 Purchasable Augments - Buy augments with vanilla items, then toggle them on or off freely. Stack multiple for custom strategies.
• 🪶 Swift Feather (16 Feathers) - Expeditions 15% faster
• 🍀 Lucky Charm (4 Rabbit Feet) - +15% loot quality, +10% loot quantity
• 💎 Power Crystal (16 Amethyst Shards) - +5 TEP per Pokémon, +5% success chance
• 🔔 Soothing Bell (1 Bell) - Reduces fatigue gain by 1 per expedition
• 🔍 Scholar's Lens (1 Spyglass) - +25% rank XP earned
• Data-Driven - Server admins can create custom augments with any item cost and effect combination.

Expedition Modes

• 8 Modes - Each mode alters expedition rules with meaningful tradeoffs. Change freely between expeditions.
• ⚡ Rapid Deployment - 15% faster, but -10% loot
• 🔎 Deep Scavenging - +15% loot, but 15% slower
• 🛡️ Safe Operations - 50% hazard reduction, slightly lower great chance
• 🎯 Specialist Contracting - +12% type bonus (cap 36%), -5% on non-matching Pokémon
• 📦 Bulk Logistics - +1 expedition slot, -12% loot quality
• 🏺 Relic Hunters - +20% rare loot, but 20% slower and success capped at 90%
• 📚 Training Detail - +75% Pokémon XP, -15% loot
• 💊 Field Medicine - 10% hazard reduction, -5% loot
• Tier-Gated - Modes unlock progressively as you upgrade your board, creating a meaningful progression loop.

Hazards

• 7 Hazard Types - Heat, Cold, Toxic, Cave-in, Aquatic, Electric, and Dark.
• Type Mitigation - Each hazard is countered by specific Pokémon types. Unmitigated hazards reduce your TEP score.
• Data-Driven - Custom hazards can be defined with custom type resistances and penalty values.

Rank Progression

• Expedition Rank XP - Earn XP to level up your expedition rank. Higher ranks unlock new board tiers and harder content.
• Additional Slots - Higher ranks grant more concurrent expedition slots.

Quality of Life

• Sound Effects - Rich audio feedback for starting expeditions, claiming rewards, upgrading boards, buying augments, errors, and more.
• 3×2 Multiblock Boards - Beautiful 3-wide, 2-tall craftable blocks with tier-appropriate textures. Diamond and Netherite boards feature animated screen effects.
• Search & Filter - Filter expeditions by type, search Pokémon by name, and auto-select the best team.
• Expedition List Toggles - Hide expeditions your rank hasn't unlocked yet, and flip the sort between highest and lowest power. Rank-locked entries are greyed out and tell you the rank you need up front, instead of after you've picked a team. Both toggles are per-player and remembered between sessions.
• Crafting Recipes - All 5 board tiers are craftable with tier-appropriate materials.
