Mining
Your share of rewards equals your share of total effective hashrate across every vault in the game. Effective means after heat — a throttled extractor earns a throttled share.
Each machine type has a fixed hashrate, power draw and heat output. Extractors go in the cells of your private vault.
An extractor heats every cell touching it, diagonals included. One neighbour drops output to 75%, two to 50%, three or more to 25%.
A cooler takes a cell and draws power, but pulls heat down around it. Fewer extractors, running at full rate instead of throttled.
When a machine type has been bought by anyone, its hashrate, power draw, heat output and price can never be changed. New stats require a new type, sold separately.
What you bought stays exactly what you bought. There is no repricing of assets players already own, and no balance patch that quietly devalues your fleet.
A reserve pool releases QUANTU continuously, decaying on a smooth curve with a 60 day half life. Continuous, not stepped — no cliff to front run, no block where the rate jumps.
Funded by the trading tax. This stream does not decay at all. It tracks trading volume for as long as the pool exists.
The emission curve is not a fixed drain. Every buyback tops the reserve back up, so the curve is lifted each time someone builds a machine or upgrades a vault. Activity pushes it up while time pulls it down.
Rewards accrue continuously and you claim whenever you want. There is no lock, no vesting, no minimum, and no cooldown. Claiming is a normal transaction you send yourself.
