Added Emburrn gathering for a lone hero

The surviving hero can pull Emburrn straight from a field and fund a new Command Core without a single building.

Project Sand / Field capture

The resource is Emburrn. A hero with nothing left can stand on a golden field and gather two credits a second. No processor, no power, and no crawler is required.

That rate is intentionally slow. Fifty credits for a slab takes about twenty-five seconds, and a replacement Core is a long shift at the field. It is enough to restart, not enough to skip the base.

Losing the base is a setback only if the last soldier can still buy the next slab.

Crawlers still do the real hauling: they fill a cargo hold, dock, and unload. The hero's gather is the recovery tool when the camp is gone.

Saves also started writing themselves. Every thirty seconds of play stores a checkpoint beside the manual save, and Continue loads the latest one.
