| Resource | Use | |----------|-----| | Supplies | Food, water, medicine, ammo. Spend 1 per day to avoid Pressure +1. | | Scrap | Tools, parts, fuel, barter goods. Spend 1 to reroll any check (after the roll). | | Credit | Favors, debts, reputation, hidden funds. Spend 1 to reduce Pressure by 1 immediately. | 📥 How to Update: Check your pledge tier
