💰 Cost & Karma Strategy

  • Karma earned = Cost ÷ 100 (rounded)
  • Example: 500¢ event → +5 karma
  • Budget planning: Check costs before spending!

🎮 Strategic Timing

  • Watch colony needs - Drop resources when supplies low
  • Consider weather - Don't stack multiple weather events
  • Check streamer situation - Avoid events during crises
  • Coordinate with chat - Plan event combinations

🚫 Common Issues

  • "Unknown incident type" - Check spelling or use !event list
  • "Cannot be triggered right now" - Game conditions not met
  • "Need X coins" - Check your balance with !coins
