Weight Gain Rules
Three reward categories: Guaranteed, At-Risk, and Bounty Weight. Player Weight is your persistent balance.
Reward on the line
Hybrid earnings, stolen Weight, and claimed bounties. Entomb secures 100%; death settles At-Risk 50/50.
Survival target value
Herbivores build it after 75% growth. A successful predator claim converts it to predator At-Risk Weight.
Weight rules by progression pathShows maximum growth Weight only.
