# Part 1 — Prestige Reset System
## PrestigeConfig
Resource defining prestige rules.
### Enums
```gdscript
enum BasisType {
LIFETIME_TOTAL, # All-time currency acquired (single currency)
RUN_TOTAL, # Currency this run (single currency)
RUN_MAX, # Peak currency this run (single currency)
ALL_CURRENCIES # Sum of all currencies (multi-currency tracking)
}
enum FormulaType {
POWER, # gain = scale * (ratio^exponent)
TRIANGULAR_INVERSE # gain based on triangular number inverse
}
enum RoundingMode {
FLOOR, ROUND, CEIL
}
enum MultiplierMode {
ADDITIVE, # +X per prestige
MULTIPLICATIVE_POWER # x^(multiplier_per_prestige)
}
```
### Key Properties
```gdscript
@export var id: StringName = &"primary"
@export var display_name: String = "Ascension"
@export var prestige_currency_id: StringName = &"prestige"
@export var source_currency_id: StringName = &"magic" # What to measure (ignored for ALL_CURRENCIES)
@export var basis: BasisType = LIFETIME_TOTAL
@export var formula: FormulaType = POWER
# Currency tracking
@export var include_currency_ids: Array[StringName] = [] # Empty = all currencies (for ALL_CURRENCIES basis)
# Threshold: minimum source currency needed
@export var threshold_mantissa: float = 1.0
@export var threshold_exponent: int = 4 # 1e4 = 10,000
# Formula parameters
@export var scale: float = 1.0
@export var exponent: float = 0.5 # Square root
# Multiplier growth
@export var multiplier_per_prestige: float = 0.05 # +5% per prestige
@export var multiplier_mode: MultiplierMode = ADDITIVE
```
## PrestigeManager
Child node of `LevelGameState` managing prestige state.
### Signals
```gdscript
signal prestige_state_changed(total_prestige, pending_gain)
signal prestige_performed(gain, total_prestige)
signal prestige_threshold_changed(next_threshold)
```
### State Variables
```gdscript
var total_prestige_earned: BigNumber # Lifetime prestige
var current_prestige_unspent: BigNumber # Available to spend
var prestige_resets_count: int # How many resets
var run_start_total_source_currency: BigNumber # Track run start
var run_peak_source_currency: BigNumber # Peak this run
```
### Key Methods
```gdscript
# Query state
func get_total_prestige() -> BigNumber
func get_current_prestige_unspent() -> BigNumber
func calculate_pending_gain() -> BigNumber
func can_prestige() -> bool
func get_total_multiplier() -> float
func get_next_prestige_threshold() -> BigNumber
# Perform prestige
func perform_prestige() -> bool
```
### Gain Calculation
**Power Formula** (default):
```gdscript
ratio = basis_value / threshold
raw_gain = scale * (ratio^exponent) + flat_bonus
# Cumulative basis subtracts already earned
if basis == LIFETIME_TOTAL:
gain = raw_gain - total_prestige_earned
```
**Triangular Inverse Formula**:
```gdscript
# Based on inverse triangular number: n = (sqrt(1 + 8k) - 1) / 2
k = basis_value / threshold
target_total = (sqrt(1 + 8k) - 1) * 0.5
if basis == LIFETIME_TOTAL:
gain = target_total - total_prestige_earned
```
**Basis Value Calculation**:
```gdscript
if basis == ALL_CURRENCIES:
# Sum of all tracked currencies
basis_value = sum(get_total_currency_acquired(currency_id) for currency_id in tracked_currencies)
elif basis == RUN_TOTAL:
# Currency earned since last reset
basis_value = lifetime_total - run_start_total
elif basis == RUN_MAX:
# Peak currency reached this run
basis_value = run_peak_currency
else: # LIFETIME_TOTAL
# All-time currency acquired
basis_value = lifetime_total
```
### Multiplier Application
**Additive Mode**:
```gdscript
multiplier = base_multiplier + (total_prestige * multiplier_per_prestige)
# e.g., 1.0 + (5 * 0.05) = 1.25 (25% bonus)
```
**Multiplicative Power Mode**:
```gdscript
growth_base = 1.0 + multiplier_per_prestige
multiplier = base_multiplier * (growth_base ^ total_prestige)
# e.g., 1.0 * (1.05 ^ 5) = 1.276 (27.6% bonus)
```
### Prestige Reset Flow
1. Player clicks "Prestige" button
2. `perform_prestige()` called
3. Gain calculated and added to total
4. Prestige currency granted via `game_state.add_currency_by_id()`
5. `game_state.reset_for_prestige()` called (preserves prestige currency, resets generators, currencies, buff levels, goals)
6. `_reset_all_buff_levels()` — clears generator buff levels (NOT prestige buff unlocks)
7. Generator runtime state reinitialized
8. Run tracking reinitialized
9. `game_state.emit_currency_changed_for_all()` — triggers UI refresh
10. Save triggered
## PrestigePanel
UI component for prestige interaction.
### Displays
```gdscript
_total_value.text # Total prestige earned (e.g. "123.45")
_pending_value.text # Gain available now
_multiplier_value.text # Current multiplier (e.g. "x2.34")
_basis_label.text # Basis + value (e.g. "Total Currency (1.50e6)")
```
### Buttons
- **Reset**: Triggers `perform_prestige()` after confirmation dialog
- **Save**: Manually saves game state
## Generator Integration
Generators apply prestige multipliers via `PrestigeManager.get_total_multiplier()`:
```gdscript
func _get_prestige_multiplier() -> float:
var parent: Node = get_parent()
var prestige_manager: PrestigeManager = parent.find_child("PrestigeManager", true, false)
if prestige_manager:
return prestige_manager.get_total_multiplier()
return 1.0
```
This is called from `get_effective_auto_run_multiplier()` alongside research and buff multipliers. In the future, prestige buff multipliers from the graph system will replace or augment this.
## Save Integration
Prestige state stored in `LevelGameState` external save:
```json
{
"prestige_state": {
"total_prestige_earned": {"m": 10.0, "e": 0},
"current_prestige_unspent": {"m": 5.0, "e": 0},
"prestige_resets_count": 3,
"run_start_total_source_currency": {"m": 1000.0, "e": 0},
"run_peak_source_currency": {"m": 5000.0, "e": 0},
"last_reset_time": 1234567890
}
}
```
## Configuration Example
For a typical idle game with single currency:
```gdscript
id = &"primary"
display_name = "Ascension"
source_currency_id = &"magic"
basis = LIFETIME_TOTAL
threshold_mantissa = 1.0
threshold_exponent = 6 # 1e6
formula = POWER
exponent = 0.5 # Square root
multiplier_mode = ADDITIVE
multiplier_per_prestige = 0.10
```
For multi-currency tracking (`ALL_CURRENCIES`):
```gdscript
id = &"ascension"
display_name = "Ascension"
prestige_currency_id = &"ascension"
basis = ALL_CURRENCIES
include_currency_ids = [] # Empty = all currencies from catalogue
threshold_mantissa = 1.0
threshold_exponent = 4 # 1e4
formula = POWER
exponent = 0.5
multiplier_mode = ADDITIVE
multiplier_per_prestige = 0.05
```

# Part 2 — Prestige Buff Graph
## Overview
The prestige buff graph is a permanent upgrade system where players spend prestige currency to unlock nodes in a DAG-structured graph. Unlike generator buffs (which reset on prestige), prestige buff unlocks are **permanent** and survive resets.
## PrestigeBuffNode
Single node in the graph. Each node is a one-shot unlock — either locked or unlocked, no repeatable levels.
### EffectType Enum
```gdscript
enum EffectType {
CURRENCY_PRODUCTION_MULTIPLIER, # Multiply currency output by x%
BUILDING_CREATION_BONUS, # When a building is created, increase currency gain by x%
WORKER_THRESHOLD_MULTIPLIER, # When 10+ workers are assigned to a building, increase currency gain by x%
CARRYOVER_BUILDINGS, # After prestige, start with some buildings and workers already assigned
UNLOCK_AUTO_BUY_WORKER, # Unlock option to auto-buy workers
HOVER_SPEED_BOOST, # Hovering over a place speeds up workers instead of clicking
UNLOCK_BUILDING, # Unlock a new building (generator)
WORKER_PRODUCTIVITY, # Increase worker productivity by x%
RESEARCH_XP_MULTIPLIER, # Increase research XP gain by x%
}
```
### Exported Fields
| Field | Type | Notes |
|-------|------|-------|
| `id` | `StringName` | Unique node identifier |
| `display_name` | `String` | UI label |
| `description` | `String` (multiline) | Tooltip |
| `icon` | `Texture2D` | Icon in graph UI |
| `parent_ids` | `Array[StringName]` | Prerequisites (DAG — multiple parents allowed) |
| `effect_type` | `EffectType` | What this buff does |
| `effect_value` | `float` | Effect magnitude (multiplier or count depending on type) |
| `target_id` | `StringName` | Target building/currency for type-specific effects (empty = global) |
| `cost_mantissa` | `float` | Prestige currency cost mantissa |
| `cost_exponent` | `int` | Prestige currency cost exponent |
| `tier` | `int` | Row in graph UI (visual grouping) |
| `x_position` | `float` | Column in graph UI |
### Key Methods
```gdscript
func get_cost() -> BigNumber # BigNumber from mantissa/exponent
func has_parents() -> bool # True if parent_ids is non-empty
func all_parents_unlocked(unlocked: Dictionary) -> bool # All prerequisites met?
func is_valid() -> bool # Non-empty id and positive cost
```
## PrestigeBuffCatalogue
Flat resource containing all buff nodes. The graph structure emerges from `parent_ids`.
| Field | Type |
|-------|------|
| `nodes` | `Array[PrestigeBuffNode]` |
### Key Methods
```gdscript
func get_node_by_id(id: StringName) -> PrestigeBuffNode
func get_all_ids() -> Array[StringName]
func get_root_nodes() -> Array[PrestigeBuffNode] # Nodes with empty parent_ids
func get_children_of(parent_id: StringName) -> Array[PrestigeBuffNode]
```
## State in LevelGameState
```gdscript
@export var prestige_buff_catalogue: PrestigeBuffCatalogue
var _prestige_buff_unlocked: Dictionary = {} # {StringName: bool} — node_id → unlocked
```
- Never cleared by `reset_for_prestige()` (unlike `_buff_levels` which IS cleared)
- Normalized on load: missing catalogue node IDs are filled as `false`
- On initialization, iterates the catalogue and sets any missing entries to `false`
## LevelGameState API
```gdscript
# Purchase and query
func purchase_prestige_buff(buff_id: StringName) -> bool
func can_purchase_prestige_buff(buff_id: StringName) -> bool
func is_prestige_buff_unlocked(buff_id: StringName) -> bool
func get_prestige_buff_cost(buff_id: StringName) -> BigNumber
func get_prestige_currency_id() -> StringName # Returns &"ascension"
# Multiplier computation — walks graph, returns combined product from unlocked nodes
func get_prestige_buff_multiplier(effect_type: int, target_id: StringName = &"") -> float
# Available nodes (prerequisites met, not yet unlocked)
func get_available_prestige_buffs() -> Array[PrestigeBuffNode]
```
### Signal
```gdscript
signal prestige_buff_unlocked(buff_id: StringName)
```
Prestige currency balance changes use the existing `currency_changed` signal — no separate signal needed.
## Purchase Flow
```
Player clicks unlock node
→ can_purchase_prestige_buff(node_id)
→ Node exists in catalogue?
→ Not already unlocked?
→ All parent_ids unlocked?
→ Enough prestige currency?
→ YES: spend_currency_by_id("ascension", cost)
→ _prestige_buff_unlocked[node_id] = true
→ emit prestige_buff_unlocked
→ save_game()
```
## Multiplier Computation
`get_prestige_buff_multiplier(effect_type, target_id)` iterates all unlocked nodes matching the given effect type and multiplies their `effect_value` together. Results start at `1.0`.
- If `target_id` is empty: all matching nodes are included (global effect)
- If `target_id` is set: only nodes with empty or matching `target_id` are included
## Multiplier Usage In Generators
Generators should call `get_prestige_buff_multiplier()` with their generator ID:
```gdscript
var asc_mult: float = game_state.get_prestige_buff_multiplier(
PrestigeBuffNode.EffectType.CURRENCY_PRODUCTION_MULTIPLIER,
get_generator_id()
)
```
This replaces the old `_get_prestige_multiplier()` call for prestige buff-driven production bonuses.
## Save Format
- Save format version bumped to **8** when prestige buffs were introduced.
- Key: `"prestige_buff_unlocked"` → array of unlocked node ID strings: `["gold_boost", "farm_boost"]`
- Load deserialization reads the array, sets matching entries to `true`, then calls `_initialize_prestige_buffs()` to fill in missing entries as `false`.
## UI — PrestigeBuffGraphPanel
A `PanelContainer`-based separate screen.
- **Layout**: Tiered rows (`HBoxContainer` per tier), sorted by `tier` then `x_position`
- **Tiles** (`PrestigeBuffGraphTile`): show icon, name, effect description, cost, state
- **States**:
- **Locked** (greyed out): prerequisites not met
- **Available** (highlighted, button enabled): all prerequisites met, can purchase
- **Unlocked** (green check, button disabled): already owned
- **Balance**: Shows current prestige currency balance at top, refreshes on `currency_changed`
- **Graph rebuild**: Rebuilds entire graph on `prestige_buff_unlocked` to reflect newly available children
## Content Files
Prestige buff content lives in `docs/gyms/tiny_sword/prestige/`:
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `prestige_buff_catalogue.tres` | Catalogue resource referencing all buff nodes |
| `prestige_buff_gold_boost.tres` | Example: +50% gold mine production |
| `prestige_buff_farm_boost.tres` | Example: +50% farm food production |
Each `.tres` is a `PrestigeBuffNode` resource with exported fields set in the inspector.
## Prestige Reset And Buffs
- **Generator buffs** (`_buff_levels`, `_buff_unlocked`, `_buff_active`): reset to 0/false on prestige
- **Prestige buff unlocks** (`_prestige_buff_unlocked`): **never reset** — permanent across all prestige resets
