Walkthrough

Two configuration updates: DefaultConfig.ts simplifies trade and unit cost calculations by replacing complex sigmoid and geometric-mean formulas with direct power-law and piecewise mappings, while startup.sh removes an 18-hour timeout wrapper from supervisord execution under specific deployment conditions.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Game Balance Configuration src/core/configuration/DefaultConfig.ts	Trade ship gold calculation replaced with power-law formula (10000 + 150 × dist^1.1); trade ship spawn rate switched to deterministic piecewise mapping based on port count; MIRV unit cost fixed at 35,000,000; added toInt import to utilities
Deployment Configuration startup.sh	Removed 18-hour timeout wrapper from supervisord execution in openfront.dev non-main subdomain branch

Estimated code review effort

Poem

📊 Formulas fade to power's grace,
Sigmoid yields to cleaner space,
Timeout vanished with a sigh,
Constants reign—no reason why,
Simple wins the balance race! ✨

+1 for v29

+1 for v29

No because it didn't factor in Factories in v22? It's good that it makes it simpler again but would need a little more balancing first imo

well, factories are basically dead if we do this

Factories were supposed to lessen the impact of being landlocked. Don't think we can simply remove them. Maybe they need a buff to compensate, while keeping it simple
