Editing Game speed (section)

== '''Game Speed''' ==
'''Game Speed''' controls how fast the run simulation advances (`Time.timeScale`).

=== Base behavior ===
* Default selectable speed starts at '''1x'''
* Base max speed is '''3x'''
* Speed button cycles upward, then loops back to 1x

=== How to increase max game speed ===
Your max speed is:

'''Max Speed = Base Max + Milestone Bonus + Process Bonus + Game Speed Executable Bonus'''

Where:
* Base Max = 3
* Milestone Bonus = +1 (if unlocked)
* Process Bonus = +1 (while Game Speed process is active)
* Executable Bonus = sum of active '''Game Speed Executable''' values

=== Milestone unlock ===
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
'''Spoiler: milestone that increases max speed'''
* '''MM1-Milestone-Wave1000-Game-Speed'''
* Effect: permanently increases base max speed by '''+1'''
</div>

=== Process bonus ===
* Process: '''gameSpeedProcess'''
* Value: '''+1''' max speed while active

=== Game Speed Executables ===
Game Speed Executables add directly to max speed (not standard x-multiplier behavior).

Rarity values:
* Common: +0.05
* Uncommon: +0.10
* Rare: +0.15
* Epic: +0.20
* Legendary: +0.30
* Mythic: +0.40

Notes:
* Multiple active Game Speed executables '''stack by sum'''
* Modifiers can increase/decrease executable effect and duration
* Executable slots limit how many can be active at once

=== Practical examples ===
* No bonuses: '''3.0x max'''
* Milestone only: '''4.0x max'''
* Milestone + Process: '''5.0x max'''
* Milestone + Process + Legendary Game Speed executable: '''5.3x max'''
* With multiple executables, max can be higher (sum of their values)

=== Important restrictions ===
* While paused: speed forced to '''0x'''
* During mini-games: speed forced to '''1x'''
* On end/death screen: speed forced to '''0x'''

So even with high max speed, some game states temporarily override it.

=== QoL notes ===
* Your selected speed is saved between runs
* If max speed is fractional (from executables), cycling can land exactly on that fractional cap before looping
