Items without an atlas entry were rendering as a hue-hashed coloured
square — bread/grain/vegetable hashed to pink-magenta, indistinguish-
able from a missing-texture placeholder.
Added _draw_item_shape() dispatcher with category-appropriate silhouettes
for: bread (brown loaf), grain (wheat stalks), vegetable (root with
leaves), flour (cream sack), meal (wooden bowl with steam), meat (red
steak with marbling), cloth (blue pleated bolt), medicine (white phial
with red cross), tool (hammer), weapon (sword), armor (helmet),
stone_block (pale brick), copper_ore (copper chunks), silver (silver
nuggets), ash (grey pile with smoke).
Hue-hashed fallback retained for safety but should be unreachable now
that every ALL_TYPES entry is handled by either _ITEM_SPRITES or
_draw_item_shape.
Stone, iron ore, gold, wood, plank now render as ElvGames FG_Abandoned_Mines
sprites instead of hue-hashed coloured squares. Other types fall back to the
procedural square; quality border + stack count badge are layered on top of
whichever base renders.
Atlas coords picked from /tmp/item_finals.png + /tmp/wood_plank_alts.png:
stone (5, 33) rock cluster with stone chunks
iron_ore (9, 33) rock with silver chunks
gold (13, 33) rock with gold chunks
wood (20, 13) chunky brown log pile
plank (28, 18) horizontal-grain plank stack

Three gdscript-refactor agents in parallel; Opus integrated and tuned
the priority + hunger-decay numbers via MCP runtime observation.
Crop entity + PlantProvider (Agent A, scenes/entities/crop.{gd,tscn} +
scenes/ai/plant_provider.gd, ~225 lines):
- Crop: 6-stage state machine (TILLED → SOWN → GROWING_1/2/3 → READY).
STAGE_TICKS=200 sim ticks per stage × 4 stages = 800 total to maturity.
Listens to EventBus.sim_tick for growth. Procedural _draw with growing
plant + ready-state golden grain accent.
- on_harvest_tick: drops a grain (wheat) or vegetable (potato) Item, resets
to TILLED (re-sowable).
- on_sow_tick: TILLED → SOWN — used when Phase 17 paint UI lands.
- PlantProvider priority=5 (above crafting=4) — harvest-only for Phase 7.
Sow returns null to avoid the infinite harvest+sow loop that would
starve crafting forever.
- JobRunner._tick_interact extended with is_harvestable/is_sowable probes
alongside existing is_choppable/is_mineable. Unified probe array.
Hunger + Eating (Agent B, scenes/pawn/pawn.gd + scenes/ai/eat_provider.gd +
toil.gd/job_runner.gd extensions, ~150 lines):
- Pawn.hunger: float 0..100. HUNGER_DECAY_PER_TICK=0.02 (tuned down 5×
from agent's 0.10 after MCP runtime test showed pawns starving before
cooking pipeline could finish — 0.02 means 100→0 in 5000 ticks =
~4 min at 1× / ~20s at Ultra).
- is_hungry() at <30 — triggers EatProvider job
- is_starving() at <5 — Phase 9 status-interrupt hook reserved
- Toil.KIND_EAT + JobRunner._tick_eat — consumes carried_item, applies
nutrition bonus by type (MEAL +60, BREAD +45, VEGETABLE +25, GRAIN +10)
- EatProvider priority=7 (highest) — food-priority ladder:
MEAL > BREAD > VEGETABLE > GRAIN
- Pawn.skills extended with cooking init; hunger round-trip in to_dict
Cooking recipes (Agent C, recipe_catalog.gd + item.gd + workbench.gd
draw extensions, ~120 lines):
- New Item types: TYPE_FLOUR, TYPE_BREAD (TYPE_MEAL was already in base
16-chip set)
- RecipeCatalog adds:
* flour() — grain → flour, Crafting skill, 50 ticks
* bread() — flour → bread, Cooking skill, 90 ticks
* meal_from_vegetables() — vegetable → meal, Cooking, 80 ticks
- Workbench._draw extends label_text dispatch:
* Hearth: dark stone + large orange flame + smoke wisp
* Millstone: light grey + dark circular stone wheel
- i18n: item.flour, item.bread, item.meal, workbench.hearth, workbench.millstone
Opus integration:
- world.tscn: PlantProvider + EatProvider nodes (8 providers total)
- world.gd registers all 8 in priority order:
eat=7 > construction=6 > chop=5 > plant=5 > mine=4 > crafting=4 >
haul=3 > rest=0
- Pawn spawn data extended with cooking skill (Bram=2 / Cora=6 / Edda=1)
for hearth-recipe quality spread
- _seed_phase5_demo_buildings extended (now spans Phase 5/6/7):
- Millstone at (46, 27) inside cabin south-row: flour bill FOREVER
- Hearth at (49, 27) inside cabin south-row: bread + meal bills FOREVER
- 6 wheat crops east of cabin at (54-55, 24-26), all SOWN at boot
- 2 pre-baked breads at (45-50, 21) so eat-loop unblocks before cooking
chain completes
Wall-trap fix from Phase 6 confirmed working — pawn paths now go to
(44, 29) adjacent to the south-west corner wall, not on top of it.
Acceptance — MCP-verified end-to-end:
- 6 wheat crops grow over ~800 sim ticks; PlantProvider picks them up
- Pawns harvest all 6 → 6 grain items dropped (PlantProvider priority 5
> Crafting priority 4 means harvest interrupts plank crafting)
- Hunger decays steadily; at <30 EatProvider takes over (priority 7
beats all work providers)
- 2 pre-baked breads consumed first (priority 2 > grain priority 0)
- Pawns then ate the raw grain (priority 0 last resort) before flour
could be milled — this is by-design 'starving pawn settles for raw'
behaviour, not a bug. Phase 17 balance pass may add a wait-for-cooked
preference if it feels wrong in playtest.
- Planks crafted with EXCELLENT quality at (46, 25) — quality system from
Phase 6 still works on top of the new pipeline
Phase 7 tuning lessons (logged):
- Agent's initial 0.10/tick hunger decay made pawns starve in <60 sim
seconds — too fast for any multi-step chain (grain→flour→bread is
~140 sim ticks per cycle). Tuned to 0.02/tick post-runtime.
- PlantProvider's sow+harvest both returning jobs caused infinite plant
loops at priority 5. Sow returns null until Phase 17 splits the
providers or adds designation-paint sow.
- The 'raw grain eaten before flour milled' isn't a bug — it's the food
priority ladder doing its job. To showcase the full chain in a demo,
either reduce hunger decay further or pre-seed cooked food.
Delegation report this phase:
- Agent A: Crop entity + PlantProvider + JobRunner probe extension
- Agent B: Pawn.hunger + EatProvider + KIND_EAT toil
- Agent C: Recipe catalog extension (flour/bread/meal) + Workbench draw
branches for Hearth/Millstone
- Opus: scene wiring + pawn cooking-skill init + demo seed (Millstone +
Hearth + 6 crops + pre-baked breads) + MCP-driven runtime tuning of
hunger decay and plant priority
~75% of Phase 7 GDScript was subagent-authored.

Three gdscript-refactor agents in parallel; Opus did integration + caught
the wall-trap bug via MCP runtime test.
Data layer (Agent A):
- scenes/ai/recipe.gd: class Recipe (RefCounted) — id, ingredient_type,
output_type, work_ticks, required_skill (Crafting/Cooking), skill_threshold
- scenes/ai/bill.gd: class Bill — Mode enum (FOREVER/COUNT/UNTIL_N),
recipe ref, target_count, completed_count, paused, is_active() per-mode
logic. UNTIL_N walks World.items each call (acceptable at MVP scale; cache
if items grow large in Phase 16+)
- scenes/ai/recipe_catalog.gd: RecipeCatalog.plank() / .stone_block() — 2
starter recipes; Phase 7+ expands toward the design.md ~22 catalog
- Item: added Quality enum (SHODDY/NORMAL/EXCELLENT/MASTERWORK/LEGENDARY),
@export quality field, quality-coloured border in _draw (dull-grey / no /
blue / gold / magenta), TYPE_PLANK + TYPE_STONE_BLOCK constants
- Pawn: added skills dict (5 skills × levels 0–10), get_skill/set_skill,
skills round-trip in to_dict/from_dict
- strings.gd: item.plank, item.stone_block, quality.* (5 keys)
Workbench entity (Agent B, scenes/entities/workbench.{gd,tscn}, ~310 lines):
- class Workbench extends Node2D, bottom-anchored 3/4 perspective like Wall
- BuildJob interface (is_buildable / on_build_tick / _complete) — same
pattern as Wall / Crate
- Bills queue (add_bill, find_active_bill matches by accepted_skill)
- Craft cycle hooks: begin_craft / tick_craft / on_craft_complete /
on_craft_interrupted — JobRunner._tick_craft delegates to these
- Procedural _draw differentiates Carpenter (brown bench + vise) vs
Smelter (dark stone + orange ember glow) via the @export label_text
field — no subclass needed for Phase 6
- World autoload: workbenches registry + register_workbench/unregister_workbench
Crafting AI (Agent C):
- Toil.KIND_CRAFT + Toil.craft_at(workbench_path, bill_index) factory
- JobRunner._tick_craft: validates pawn-at-workbench, ingredient match;
delegates progress to wb.tick_craft; on complete spawns output Item
with QualityCalc.roll() applied; records bill completion
- crafting_provider.gd: priority=4 WorkProvider, 4-toil job
(walk_to(ingredient) → pickup → walk_to(wb) → craft_at)
- quality.gd: QualityCalc.roll(skill) — additive formula
skill × 0.04 + RNG(0, 0.6) with bucket thresholds matching
architecture.md spec. Skill 0 caps at Excellent; Skill 10 reaches
Legendary ~8% of the time
Opus integration:
- world.tscn: CraftingProvider node added
- world.gd: registered crafting_provider with World (priority order:
construction=6 > chop=5 > mine=4 > crafting=4 > haul=3 > rest=0)
- Pawn spawn data extended with crafting skill (Bram=8, Cora=4, Edda=0)
for visible quality variation in the demo
- _seed_phase5_demo_buildings extended: pre-built Carpenter at (46, 25)
with plank bill (FOREVER) + Smelter at (48, 25) with stone_block bill
(UNTIL_N=5)
The wall-trap bug (caught via MCP runtime — initial Phase 6 run hung):
- Pawns building walls stood ON the wall tile. When wall._complete fired
set_cell_walkable(false), the pawn was stuck on a solid cell.
AStarGrid2D returns no path when start cell is solid → all subsequent
jobs failed pathfinding from the trapped position.
- Fix: ConstructionProvider checks site.blocks_pathing_when_complete()
(new method on Wall, returns true; not implemented on Floor/Door/Crate/
Workbench since they remain walkable). Walls route the pawn to an
adjacent walkable cell via _find_adjacent_walkable. Floors/doors/etc.
build on-tile as before.
- This bug existed since Phase 5 but only surfaced in Phase 6 because
Phase 5 demos ended at construction-complete; Phase 6 needed pawns to
walk away from finished walls toward the workbench.
Acceptance — MCP-verified end-to-end:
- 3 pawns boot with varied Crafting skills
- Construction priority wins first; all 48 build sites (23 walls + 1 door
+ 24 floors) complete. Pawns escape wall tiles safely (fix verified).
- Pawns transition to chop/mine, then crafting at the Carpenter workbench
- At tick 9215, 12 planks crafted with quality distribution matching
expected spread per skill: 1 SHODDY + 6 NORMAL + 4 EXCELLENT + 1
MASTERWORK. Quality-coloured borders visible on items.
- Smelter UNTIL_N=5 bill correctly idle (no stone consumed yet) because
CraftingProvider prefers closer workbench-ingredient pairs and the
carpenter+wood is closer to where pawns end up than smelter+stone
Phase 6 followups for later phases:
- on_craft_interrupted has no JobRunner hook — Phase 9 status interrupts
will need a 'cancel callback' on toils or wb.on_craft_interrupted will
leak current_bill/current_work_progress on canceled crafts
- Bill.from_dict reconstructs Recipe inline via Recipe.from_dict — Phase
16 may need a recipe registry for save-format stability across catalog
changes
- UNTIL_N's per-call World.items walk is O(items) — acceptable at MVP
scale; profile if it becomes hot
Delegation report this phase:
- Agent A: Recipe + Bill + RecipeCatalog + Item.quality + Pawn.skills + i18n
- Agent B: Workbench (one class, label_text-driven differentiation, no
Carpenter/Smelter subclass) + World registry
- Agent C: Toil.KIND_CRAFT + JobRunner._tick_craft + CraftingProvider +
QualityCalc
- Opus: scene wiring + pawn-skill init + workbench demo seed + wall-trap
fix (caught via MCP) + runtime verification
~75% of Phase 6 GDScript was subagent-authored.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three gdscript-refactor agents in parallel + Opus integration.
Entities (scenes/entities/, Agent A — 3 scripts + 3 .tscn, ~460 lines):
- item.gd: 16-type StringName registry (matches design.md filter chips);
Node2D + _draw() colored square + stack-count badge; to_dict/from_dict
- tree.gd: class_name HarvestableTree (Godot 4 ships a built-in 'Tree'
Control class — renamed to avoid the shadow); CHOP_TICKS=80; on_chop_tick
advances progress, fells when complete, drops 3 wood items at tile +
walkable neighbours
- rock.gd: MINE_TICKS=120; angular polygon _draw; mined() drops 1 stone
Toil + provider extensions (scenes/ai/, Agent B — 4 files modified/added,
~250 lines):
- Toil: new KIND_INTERACT (timed entity action), KIND_PICKUP, KIND_DEPOSIT
- JobRunner: _tick_interact resolves NodePath, calls target.<method>()
each tick, marks done when is_choppable/is_mineable returns false;
_tick_pickup finds Item at pawn.tile, transfers to pawn.carried_item;
_tick_deposit places carried_item at pawn.tile + clears the
items_needing_haul dirty flag
- ChopProvider (priority=5): nearest choppable tree; Job=[walk_to + interact]
- MineProvider (priority=4): same for rocks
Hauling system (scenes/world/ + scenes/ai/, Agent C — 4 files, ~330 lines):
- StorageDestination: abstract Node2D base; Priority enum CRITICAL=0..OFF=4;
accepted_types (empty=wildcard); _filter_accepts() helper
- StockpileZone: concrete rect-region zone; _draw paints priority-tinted
overlay (z_index=-1); find_drop_position scans for free cells respecting
one-stack-per-tile rule
- HaulingProvider (priority=3): nearest dirty item × best destination →
4-toil job [walk → pickup → walk → deposit]; sweep_for_better_destinations
enables the priority cascade (items in lower-priority zones re-mark dirty
when a higher-priority destination opens up)
Opus integration (~200 lines):
- World autoload: trees/rocks/items/items_needing_haul/stockpiles registries
+ register/unregister methods; pathfinder reference exposed for entity
code (tree.fell needs is_walkable for neighbour drops)
- Pawn: carried_item slot + carry-indicator (small colored rect upper-right
of body) via queue_redraw in _on_sim_tick
- World scene: registers chop/mine/haul/rest providers; spawns 6 trees
(cluster east-north), 4 rocks (south-east), 2 stockpile zones (Zone A
wood-only NORMAL, Zone B wildcard HIGH); periodic
hauling_provider.sweep_for_better_destinations every 100 sim ticks
Acceptance — MCP-verified end-to-end (the full Phase 4 loop):
- 3 pawns boot, Decision picks chop (highest priority work), all walk to
nearest tree, chop in parallel (3× speed because all 3 call on_chop_tick
per tick). Trees fell, drop wood (18 items). Pawns move to rocks, mine,
drop stone (4 items). Total 22 items spawn.
- HaulingProvider routes wood + stone toward Zone B (wildcard HIGH > Zone
A's wood-only NORMAL). Pawns carry items one at a time, visual indicator
shows during transit. Items deposit, items_needing_haul dirty flag
clears.
- **Priority cascade test:** Zone A promoted from NORMAL to CRITICAL.
Manually-triggered sweep marks 3 wood items in Zone B for re-haul.
Within a few thousand ticks: Zone A has 5 wood (cascaded from Zone B),
Zone B has 4 stone only (wood left, stone stayed because Zone A rejects
stone). Filter + priority cascade working exactly per design.md spec.
Phase 4 gotchas (logged in implementation.md):
- 'Tree' shadows Godot 4's built-in Tree Control class — class_name had to
be renamed to HarvestableTree. Scene/file names stayed as 'tree' since
the game concept is still 'tree'; the rename only affects code-side
type references.
- draw_colored_polygon(points, color) takes a SINGLE Color, not a
PackedColorArray. Agent C had to be reminded; draw_polygon(points, colors)
is the variant that takes per-vertex colors.
- Godot's class-name cache lags behind file changes — a full editor scan
('godot --headless --editor --quit') is needed to flush. Even after
reload_project, type-annotation assignments can fail; duck-typed
variables ('var x = scene.instantiate()') sidestep the issue.
- JobRunner's _tick_deposit had to explicitly call
World.clear_item_haul_flag — the dirty set persisted otherwise and
items appeared 'needing haul' even after deposit.
Delegation report this phase:
- Agent A (Sonnet, gdscript-refactor): Tree + Rock + Item entities + i18n
keys. ~460 lines.
- Agent B (Sonnet, gdscript-refactor): Toil extensions + JobRunner handlers
+ ChopProvider + MineProvider. ~250 lines.
- Agent C (Sonnet, gdscript-refactor): StorageDestination + StockpileZone
+ HaulingProvider with cascade sweep. ~330 lines.
- Opus: World autoload extensions (entity registries + pathfinder ref),
Pawn carry slot + visual, world.tscn/gd wiring, the Tree rename, the
draw_colored_polygon fix, the dirty-set-clear fix, MCP-driven runtime
verification including the full chop-mine-haul loop and the priority
cascade demo.
~75% of Phase 4's GDScript was subagent-authored.
