Hunters satchel

Each value is either a number set here or a reference to a decided number in your tuning. It cannot reference an open number.

A rule is a check between the numbers. Validation reports a rule that fails.

• slot-count >= 0
• size-budget >= 0

Each list holds the rows this adoption supplies. A list can be empty.

Some tests need a scope or seeds from the adoption before they can run.

The contract comes with 14 tests. A test that runs once per row is counted once for each row. Tests that do not apply to these answers are still listed, with the reason.

Answers you try on this page do not change this file. To change an adoption, open it in the authoring tool.

  "contract": "container",
  "version": 2,
  "origin": "https://opengdd.org/contracts/container-2",
  "summary": "This contract covers a container, such as a bag or a chest, that holds distinct items. A delivery is a group of items that arrives at the container. This contract says when the container is full and what happens when some items of a delivery do not fit. It also says which items the container accepts and which slot fills or empties first. It covers slots and size budgets. This version does not cover containers where an item occupies a width-and-height footprint, such as a grid inventory. This contract does not cover counted amounts such as gold. The Ranged value contract covers counted amounts.",
  "mechanism": [
    "One container holds items. Two items of one type are interchangeable. Items that differ inside one type, for example by wear or by charges, are separate types in this contract, or this game's prose says how they are handled. A slot holds one stack. A stack is items of one type together.",
    "The container's own order is the order in which the game's material numbers or lists its slots. In the text below, first and last mean first and last in that order. A container with no slots has no order. Containers where an item occupies a width-and-height footprint, including attaché cases and grid inventories, are outside this version.",
    "A delivery offers a type and an amount. A take asks for a type and an amount. A take that asks for more of a type than the container holds yields the amount that the container holds and reports the shortfall.",
    "A delivery that fits is accepted whole. For a delivery that does not fit, the partial-acceptance answer applies. For the items that are left over, the leftover-destination answer applies.",
    "A stack never holds more than the stack limit on its type's row. An amount above that limit starts a new stack in a free slot, or counts as not fitting if no slot is free. Under the type-restriction answer any-item, two rules apply to a type with no row. Where slots alone set the limit, such a type stacks one item per slot, and in a forced removal it does not leave, as if its when-forced-out value were never. Under a size budget, such a type has no size. A delivery of such a type is therefore refused, and the refused items stay intact, until a row names its size.",
    "A forced removal is an item leaving without a take: the container shrank, its rules changed, or its owner is gone. Each item row says what happens to its type and gives the position of its type in the order in which the types leave. In a container with slots, items of one type leave from the last occupied slot of that type first.",
    "One adoption file describes one container. Two containers need two files, each with its own rows. Moving an item between two containers is a take from one container and then a delivery to the other. This contract states no other rule between the two containers. Rearranging items by hand is player input. The player chooses the slots, and the fill-order answer does not apply. In a container with slots, a sort delivers the contents again in the order that the sort names. The fill-order answer then decides the slot for each of these deliveries. In a container with no slots, a sort changes nothing that can be observed.",
    "The same delivery made from the same starting contents has the same result. The same take made from the same starting contents comes from the same slot."

  "questions": {
    "capacity-limit": {
      "asks": "What makes this container full?",
      "rationale": "Capacity changes what the container can hold and how it fills. This contract supports one size measure. Containers where items occupy a width-and-height footprint are outside this version.",
      "options": {
        "slot-count": {
          "meaning": "A fixed number of slots makes it full. A shop with twenty stock slots refuses an item of a new type when all twenty slots hold stacks. A stack that has room can still accept an item of its own type."
        },
        "size-budget": {
          "meaning": "A size budget makes it full, and the container has no slots. A card deck with a thirty-point build budget can hold cards of different costs until their costs add up to thirty points."
        },
        "slots-and-size": {
          "meaning": "A slot limit and a size budget both apply. A bag with three free slots can still refuse an anvil when its weight budget is full."
        },
        "no-limit": {
          "meaning": "It never fills. A new item always has room, so nothing is refused because the container ran out of space.",
          "rationale": "Use this when room can never run out. It avoids a fake large limit that readers may mistake for a real limit."

    "partial-acceptance": {
      "asks": "A delivery reaches the container, but not all the items fit. What goes in?",

          "meaning": "The whole delivery is refused. A ten-arrow pickup adds no arrows when the container has room for only five. Each offered type and amount is one delivery. A craft with several outputs makes several deliveries, so some outputs may enter before another is refused. The refused items stay with whatever offered them. Your game's own rules decide what the action that offered them does next."
        },

          "meaning": "The leftover stays where the delivery arrived. Arrows that do not fit become a loose pickup beside the bag."

          "meaning": "The leftover moves to another store named by your game. Arrows that do not fit may go to a stash."

          "meaning": "The leftover is destroyed. Arrows that do not fit disappear instead of returning, dropping, or moving elsewhere."

    "fill-order": {
      "asks": "Several slots could hold a new item. Which slot gets it?",
      "rationale": "Two teams that build the same design can fill the same container differently. That changes what players see and what the game removes later. Rules that score slots, rotate between containers, or use a custom sequence stay in your game's prose.",

        "first-slot-that-fits": {
