Features

🧨 Classic Minesweeper Gameplay

• Left-click to reveal tiles
• Right-click to flag suspected mines
• Settings to enable auto-chord to quickly reveal numbered tiles
• Chain-revealing is handled asynchronously to avoid lag

🏭 Factorio-Adapted Mechanics

• Unlimited lives, but stepping on a hidden mine triggers a nuclear explosion — walk carefully!
• Un-flagging incorrectly flagged empty tiles will reveal a small biter nest surprise.
• Correctly marking mine tiles (flagging real mines) rewards the player by spawning resources.

📊 Real-Time Stats & Leaderboards

• Tracks per-player and per-force stats (reveals, flags, mistakes, detonations, etc.)
• Persistent leaderboard system ranking top solvers and safest players
• Multiple stat overlays to choose from

🗺️ Procedural Field Generation

• Mines are generated using deterministic noise functions
• Built-in whitelisting for Nauvis mapgen, compatible with planets mods
• Safe early area around spawn

📦 Performance-Friendly

• Computations run over multiple ticks
• Solved areas are archived and replaced with blank tiles
• Entire chunks are auto-archived once cleared
