## Legal later rigs and a same-budget choice
-
Costs below use the existing illustrative C/A values and assert no balance. Several ordinary outputs are legal when the installed rig, carrying manifest and visible power budget support them. Each automatic actuator keeps its own target and readiness; firing and returns add heat. Power preview sums states that can truly overlap, while mutually exclusive relinks or buffered charge/discharge modes are checked as separate peaks. Compatible link changes occur in the fully paused journal under this reversible proposal. Mounting, removing or picking up a physical part remains a live-world action.

Each automatic actuator keeps its own target and readiness; firing and returns add heat. Power preview sums states that can truly overlap, while mutually exclusive relinks or buffered charge/discharge modes are checked as separate peaks; effects still in flight remain part of any overlapping demand.

| **Density storm** | Threat Sensor 1→Pulse Projector 1. Impact Dynamo 1 clamps to Projector's physical-output feed and emits proposed 2 U through Fork Relay 1→Arc Emitter 2 + Capacitor 1. Total **7 C / 7 A**. With both branches ready, Arc receives 1 U and Capacitor stores 1 U per eligible Projector wave. | **Echoing Arc** gives that one accepted Arc action a proposed two-echo target allowance; each echo extends the physical arc to another valid nearby target, adds heat and creates no signal or U. **Thunderhead** temporarily permits a full Capacitor to make a chosen manual 4 U release. After a paused relink to Capacitor→Fork→Arc + Projector, Fork gives 2 U to each ready branch and the store empties. | Packed bodies turn automatic impacts into wider arcs while banking a manual climax. Sparse, insulated or heavy targets break the chain; Dynamo contributes only once per external wave, returns do not refill storage, and the Arc/Fork/Capacitor commitment leaves less defence and produces high heat. |

One manual command, accepted only with a full store and valid receiver/power/heat state, switches to Capacitor→Fork→Arc + Projector, spends 4 U with high heat, and automatically restores charging after dispatch. Fork gives 2 U to each ready branch when both qualify. A refused command retains charge and charging mode; restoration grants no readiness. [Mechanical Interfaces](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Mechanical%20Interfaces%20And%20Opening%20Quantities) owns the trace and gates. | Packed bodies turn automatic impacts into wider arcs while banking a manual climax. Sparse, insulated or heavy targets break the chain; Dynamo contributes only once per eligible external wave, and burst descendants cannot refill storage after charging mode returns. The Arc/Fork/Capacitor commitment leaves less defence and produces high heat. |
| **Ricochet control** | Threat Sensor 1→Pulse Projector 1; Impact Dynamo 1 clamps to its physical-output feed→Capacitor 1. Manual Trigger 1→Vector Nozzle 2. Total **7 C / 7 A**. After charging, a paused relink can send Capacitor's chosen manual release to Projector. No free Barrier or magnetic-shove part is implied; Nozzle is the named positional actuator. | **Rebound Disc** transforms the Projector shot and gives it a proposed two-echo rebound allowance; each rebound spends one echo and adds heat. **Fragment Wake** may turn the final rebound into one terminating fragment burst with added power/heat, no new echo and no second Dynamo contribution. Nozzle moves eligible bodies or loose covers to shape the lane; it does not steer the disc unless later explicitly authored. | Hard corridors become a luminous impact field while the player shapes body positions and reads angles. Open rooms and absorbing enemies kill rebounds; the original wave charges storage only once; Nozzle and Manual occupy the spaces Storm spends on Fork and Arc, leaving no Barrier. |
These are contrasting later directions, not prescribed sets, starting kits or newly allocated permanent parts. Under the current ten-C comparison, either base plus one proposed 2 C canister leaves one C for a discovery and no room for another full canister. Echoing Arc, Rebound Disc, Fragment Wake and Thunderhead are illustrative temporary effects tied to the existing collection and expire aboard. The player can hybridize, stop after one choice or choose the same permanent base next trip while earning its temporary effects again. Exact supply, draw and heat values remain open; the illustrative effects' two-echo and full-store boundaries are explicit but still replaceable.

This first pass advances only the acquisition/rig-growth portion of Production Scope's remaining **Acquisition, build/combat interfaces and roster** row. It reuses all twelve prepared Catalogue definitions, the four proposed Survival starters and five existing Regional part rewards. Unique v1 increments are the three source fixtures counted above, two reversible ship-side area-configuration states, one provisional repair/paired-adapter operation template, and this one cross-objective expedition trace. The template does not count an authored recovery route until its exemplar/ports, material, source and recovery details exist. The future room/mechanism inventory must place the three fixtures and their recovery controls; the roster portion of the Production row remains untouched. Do not add the Catalogue, Regional, Survival or Save first-pass envelopes again.

Self-check: exactly twelve catalogue parts have a start/source, observable behavior, object consequence and next use; four are proposed starters and eight are later sources. The expedition trace shows 4 A and 5 A rigs; the comparison table shows two exact later **7 C / 7 A** directions. Several automatic outputs may coexist when the installed rig, carrying manifest, visible power and heat permit; each keeps its own readiness and target. Fork uses pre-allocation candidates and conservative division; Dynamo is locally clamped and emits proposed 2 U once per eligible external wave; Capacitor ordinarily stores 0–4 U and releases 2 U, while temporary Thunderhead explicitly spends a full 4 U. Echoing Arc creates no signal output or charge. Physical pickup/mount/removal remains live while compatible mounted-link editing is paused. One installed-part revisit and one deliberate-death return are explicit. Carried, installed, reclaimed, dropped, duplicate, consumed, repaired and adapted states conserve identities. No part, survivor, translation, treatment, fabrication pattern, active-area expansion or story decision is mandatory for its own acquisition.

Remaining decisions/interfaces are the owner's acquisition preference; true starting kit, carrying and active-area values; alternatives or tuning to proposed assembly/objective-item sizes; exact automatic-output power supply, heat limits and echo budgets; part quantities, duplicate stacking and salvage availability; which fixtures may be stripped and their recovery geometry; adapter presentation; alternate overflow/readiness/target policies; alive-return population behavior; ship-readiness interaction; optional home projects/cast; and final shift, story, corruption and ending rules. Later authorized implementation and real-player evidence must establish discovery clarity, paused-link usability, viable-build diversity, packing pressure, dominance, combat value and pacing. This design-only article proves none of them.
