A sensor may start an automatic event; a fork branches it; a lens changes charge into heat; an actuator turns the result into an arc, projectile, barrier or shove. A part can fill more than one role, so finding one object can reopen several existing builds.

*Since 2026-09-17 parts are placed in a grid and link by touching. [The Pack](/Hold%20The%20Flood/The%20Pack) owns where and when that happens; the paragraph below is the older proposal.*

The player mounts or removes a physical part in the live world. That action checks carrying and rig space, occupies the astronaut and can be interrupted. Once accessible parts are mounted, the link editor lives in the journal, so link changes happen while the game is paused. Preview shows whether direct ports fit, which modes a temporary transformation will operate automatically, and how much power and heat each possible state demands.
This makes expression easy to try without pretending that a frozen menu is active combat. Closing the journal returns the player to exactly the danger they paused. The journal is not a recurring active-special interface: Thunderhead, Foundry Drop and Furnace Burst perform their gated discharge and restore charging automatically. The frequency and presentation of offers should preserve the flow of fighting; both remain to be designed.
