Delivery tray

The Delivery tray is an oval ceramic basin in Hearth Grove, just below the rosette where the neuron lines meet. Residents leave a bounded delivery of Supply in it. Walk to the tray and press E to see how much is waiting, then choose Collect delivery.

How it works#

• The tray holds a set amount. Walking between maps never refills it.
• In the alpha code, the tray refills to 6 Supply when you come home from a field outing that earned a delivery. A trip only to town or to Memory Meadow does not count.
• You must stand within 38 pixels of the tray to collect.
• The art has two states. The stocked sprite shows six coins round a short stack. When the tray is empty, nothing is drawn and the hollow painted into H15 shows through.

In the brain#

The v0.5 plan treats Supply as a fictional common resource, not electrical activity turned into coins. Healthy connections let the community organise a bounded delivery. The game never rewards over-exciting a neuron, and it never pays for damaging cells.

Development#

• Design: the "finite community delivery tray" comes from the integrated v2 design and the v0.5 plan §15. It replaced the older unlimited pulse-to-money loop.
• Art: the tray position is part of the user-approved H15 home circuit (31 October). The stocked and empty states are on claude/environment-art 247900c7.
• Alpha: connected in Placeholder 69c7b5470. The reconciled integration report lists "finite deliveries" among the completed work, and states that town loops cannot farm a return cycle.
