Compute is componentized: 11 parody GPU cards (Ex-Mining P106, GFX 1060 Dumpster, Radish VII Furnace, RTX 4090 Gigachonk, H100 'The Vault', B200 BigChungus...) install into carrier slots — Budget PC takes one, the milk-crate rig four, the half rack eight with rack-only datacenter cards. Cards carry tok/watts/VRAM/heat individually; total cluster VRAM must hold the running model version or all token output starves. Storage devices (SSD shoebox / NVMe hoard / NAS tower) gate training: no checkpoint space, no progress. Network grows a switch layer with per-switch throughput caps between devices and uplinks. Shop grouped by category. Old saves migrate with equivalent card loadouts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

GigaSlop: Compute Tycoon
Factorio meets Software Inc., wrapped in a satirical sim of the AI slop economy. Start with a budget PC in your bedroom generating $0.40/day of AI spam videos; end up draining the county grid to feed slop-generation clusters.
Stack: TypeScript + Vite + PixiJS v8. The simulation (src/sim/) is a
deterministic fixed-tick (10 Hz) module with zero renderer dependencies — the
Pixi layer (src/render/) and DOM HUD (src/ui/) just read state.
Run
npm install
npm run dev # http://localhost:5173
Play (Tier 1 slice)
- You start with a PC, desk, and router. Press W, click the PC, then the router to wire them — slop production starts.
- Watch the breaker (1400 W bedroom circuit): trip it and your training checkpoint corrupts.
- Heat is spatial. Hot PCs throttle at 85°C; fans spread heat around, the window AC deletes it.
- Uplink caps monetizable tokens — saturated cables mean dropped slop.
- The TRAIN/INFER slider trades cash now (inference → videos → ad revenue) for model tiers later (higher revenue multipliers).
Art pipeline
All art is generated on the local MODELBEAST farm (tools/mb_gen.py):
FLUX for the room shell + hardware sprites (bg-removed, autocropped), and the
in-game slop thumbnails are genuine SD/FLUX slop — the game about AI slop is
made of actual AI slop. Titles baked to src/data/sloptitles.json.
