Rutherfordium Ore

Rutherfordium Ore drops you into the control room of a cutting-edge superheavy-element synthesis lab. Three reaction chambers, one shared energy pool, and a pile of unstable isotopes stand between you and scientific glory. Pick your projectile beam, fire a chamber, and ride the heat gauge - vent too late and the chamber melts down, play too safe and your yield stays trivial.

Every run is a decision. Calcium-48 is cheap and stable but pays scraps. Titanium-50 balances risk and reward. Chromium-54 floods your coffers with Rutherfordium atoms - if the isotope survives decay and the chamber survives the heat. Spend harvested atoms on four upgrade lines: a Beam Focuser that boosts yield, a Cryo system that tames runaway heat, Neutron Shielding that suppresses decay, and a Capacitor Bank that supercharges your energy economy.

Chain clean syntheses to build a yield multiplier up to x4, but one decay event or meltdown resets it all. Climb through stages to unlock heavier, richer, riskier projectiles while the lab itself runs hotter and meaner. Lose all three chambers and the lab is gone - then chase your best score all over again.

Core features:
- Real-time resource strategy: split a limited energy pool across 3 reaction chambers
- 3 projectile beams with distinct cost, yield, heat, and decay-risk profiles
- 4 upgrade lines with visible levels: Focuser, Cryo, Shielding, Capacitor
- Stage progression that unlocks heavier elements and cranks up the pressure
- Streak multiplier up to x4, meltdowns, repairs, and full run statistics
