AlignmentRules
tables/alignment.ron — the moddable weights that turn an act's motive into alignment drift. The deed's base moral value remains an engine rule; these values say how strongly desperation and greed color it.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| desperate_cost_fraction | double | required | Designer ruling: "The moral cost of a loaf should be left [lower], especially if desperate. Generally all moral costs should be lower when desperate — maybe 20–30% of what they are, but not nothing. It's justified when desperate but it still eats at your psyche. Greed moves should affect morality more." |
| greed_cost_multiplier | double | required | Multiplier for a greedy act with no need quantity from which to derive excess. |

SRD 5.1 — retained nonconflicting catalogue material.
Srd52
SRD 5.2.1 — the 2024-revision System Reference Document, the same CC-BY-4.0 grant as 5.1 and the current rules chassis. Its files carry the .srd52.ron suffix so provenance reads off the path; see data/README.md for which document rules a given value.
