Artificial Womb Readiness
The readiness checks required before First Generation cultivation can be treated as responsible. This technical briefing turns a system concept into player-facing Mission Control language.
System Purpose
The system should expose a constraint that players can understand: threshold, deficit, redundancy, delay, maintenance, or confidence. It should explain how local work affects sector safety before it affects the planet.
Operational Tradeoff
Improvement always creates a second pressure. More capacity can add maintenance debt, more automation can reduce transparency, and more speed can export risk into ecology or governance.
Seedfall Demo Gate
Artificial womb readiness should not unlock because one building is placed. It requires verified energy redundancy, treated water stability, oxygen buffering, contamination controls, and embryo-vault integrity across a stress event.
The player-facing message should be direct: the First Generation cannot be cultivated until the sector proves it can keep life-support promises while under pressure. This keeps the Demo focused on preparation, not population as a score.
UI And Event Use
Use this briefing for technology descriptions, blocked-state messages, event choices, and CRADLE-0 assessments. The language should stay concrete and auditable.
