Daedalus

The Daedalus is the setting of every eMush game. It is a small exploration and research vessel designed with the intent of searching the Magellan Nebula for Eden, a utopian world where humanity can resettle and repopulate. Unfortunately, the Mush have already infiltrated the ship...

Gameplay

In in-game nomenclature, a "ship" refers to a single game session in eMush.

• Although gameplay starts when the first player joins, features are limited until selection occurs. Selection happens either when 16 players join the ship, or when three full days have passed.
• A ship ends when a win/lose condition is met (see Ending the Game).
• Once a ship ends, all players gain access to an end page that compiles various statistics.

Each game is mostly identical, but a few things may change from ship to ship:

• Items are scattered randomly throughout the ship when the game starts (though most will spawn in Storage rooms).
• Different Blueprints and Mage Books may spawn.
• A ship will contain either Finola and Chao or Andie and Derek.
• Holiday events may create additional differences.

Cycle Management

The Daedalus makes a number of different calculations during each cycle change. The order of operations is as follows:
