Ministry case file // Endless / Waves / Playtesting
Every wave turns survival into a choice about the base
Enemy pressure arrives in escalating waves. What you survive becomes supplies, and what you do with those supplies changes the defenses and stations waiting between runs.
Surviving a wave can become a saved resource, and that resource can become a lasting upgrade instead of disappearing when the run ends.
Endless operation record
The next wave arrives carrying the last result forward.
Endless mode turns combat pressure into a repeatable field test. Clearing a wave changes the run record and releases supplies that can survive beyond the immediate fight.
The player can read incoming pressure and decide whether saved resources belong in repair, defense, or a lasting upgrade.
DispositionOperation continues until force is withdrawn
Wave pressure, enemy availability, rewards, saved supplies, and base condition remain connected across the run. The system supports repeatable combat testing while preserving the cost of each decision.
