What Outcomes is for
Outcomes is your authoritative per-tick record of what the simulation processed for your nation. Use it after each tick to answer: what changed, why, and what action is next.
Open directly: Outcomes (last tick window)
Recap vs audit log
Use this two-stage reading pattern:
- **Recap mode** (fast): review the latest tick window to classify changes into build/market/war/economy.
- **Audit mode** (deep): inspect specific entries, explanations, and reason codes to prove root cause.
Recap tells you what happened. Audit proves why it happened.
How to read entries quickly
- Start from most recent tick
- Group entries by subsystem (economy, construction, market, war)
- Compare deltas to actions you took before tick
- Open Explain/details when a delta is unclear
Filters that matter
When noise is high, filter in this order:
- Tick window (latest first)
- Subsystem (economy/market/war/construction)
- Event/reason code type
If you get lost, reset all filters, then narrow one step at a time.
Explain + reason codes
Use Explain for numeric breakdowns and Reason codes for blocked actions. Together they provide both causal math and actionable remediation.
Common blockers:
AUTH_REQUIREDNATION_OWNERSHIP_REQUIREDLOCK_HELD
Suggested first-hour usage
Run your first loop from Nation dashboard, make one build/market/war action, then come back to Outcomes and verify each effect by tick.
