Collaborator

Umbrella for the server-side ecology / harvesting system (RimWorld-style): natural props spawn by biome, grow through per-species lifecycles, are harvested by skill (server-paced), persist, and appear without manual placement.

Design (recognition + slice):

docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-02-ecology-harvest-audit.md (audit)
docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-02-ecology-slice-design.md (slice design + full Invariants Check)

Resolved decisions: baseline-deterministic + delta persistence · lazy time-derived growth (no scheduler) · species = data (content/ecology.txt, not C# subclasses) · two-category slice (pine+rock) proving variable per-species lifecycles · Chebyshev spacing · 1x1 (multi-cell deferred).

Roadmap:

Vertical slice (pine Lumberjacking + rock Mining + minimal spawner) — first sub-issue
Extend data-driven to more biomes/species
Multi-cell footprint (offset mask) + the redwood
Foraging (bushes) / Fishing
Per-biome density tuning + suppression zones (roads/player areas)
Migrate the world's baked interactive statics -> nodes
Map-Editor density preview + regenerate-chunk debug tool

Reject (vs ModernUO): global serial-reference linker; always-loaded per-tile spawners. Adopt: data-driven HarvestDefinition/Spawner, chunk-activated deterministic baseline.
