♦ Diamonds (Resources & Survival)

How does this event impact water, materials, technology, infrastructure, or the physical struggle to endure?

Card	Prompt
A	A major discovery—new aquifer, intact Earth tech, rich mineral deposits in day-side margins
2	Trade routes open between settlements, or barter agreements stabilize supply chains
3	Salvage teams recover valuable materials from the Stellar Horizon or abandoned sites
4	Basic survival needs are secured—water reclamation succeeds, crops yield surplus, geothermal vents stabilize
5	Wind turbine efficiency improves, thermal exchangers are refined, or construction techniques advance
6	Abundance is achieved—grain stores overflow, water is plentiful, energy production exceeds demand
7	Resources must be carefully rationed—drought threatens supplies, equipment wears down, reserves dwindle
8	Something essential runs low—water sources diminish, replacement parts fail, food stores deplete
9	Scarcity forces brutal choices—who receives water rations, which settlements to abandon, what knowledge to preserve
10	Catastrophic loss—aquifer collapses, wind farm destroyed in superstorm, entire harvest ruined
J	An opportunity appears—untapped geothermal site, salvageable satellite technology, new Deep Roads passage
Q	Careful planning is required—engineers calculate infrastructure needs, Archivists determine what tech to preserve
K	Major investment or expenditure—building new settlements, massive salvage operations, irrigation megaprojects
