Contracts pay the bills. Maintenance, salaries and bad judgment consume the margin.
The world is deterministic. Same seed, same decisions, same consequences.
SYS.DOC / 001
A BUSH-FLYING MANAGEMENT GAME
ABOUT THIN MARGINS.
MINIMUMS puts you behind the operations desk of a small remote airline. You begin with one aircraft, one pilot and limited cash. From there, every contract is a practical question: can the company complete the flight safely, on time and for enough money to stay alive?
There is no cockpit to fly and no city to decorate. You run the operation through a rugged command-line terminal, making decisions about aircraft assignment, crew positioning, fuel, maintenance, weather, routes and finance.
OPS.CYCLE / ACTIVE
EVERY FLIGHT STARTS
BEFORE TAKEOFF.
READ THE BOARD
Review contracts, deadlines, payloads and the aircraft capable of doing the work.
BUILD THE BRIEF
Assign a pilot and aircraft, select a route, check fuel reserves and calculate operational risk.
MOVE THE MISSION
Advance through six-hour phases while weather, fatigue, events and airport conditions evolve.
PAY THE CONSEQUENCES
Flights create revenue, wear and experience. Failures damage more than the daily balance sheet.
SIM.SEED / REPEATABLE
THE WORLD IS RANDOM.
THE RUN IS NOT.
Each company is generated from a seed. Contracts, markets, pilots, weather and operational events follow that deterministic world. Two players using the same seed and making the same decisions face the same outcome.
That makes every failure understandable and every recovery earned. Learn the network, build a reliable fleet, develop your pilots and discover how long a fragile airline can survive.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
WHAT KIND OF GAME IS MINIMUMS?
It is a browser-based airline management and strategy game focused on small aircraft, remote airports, operational planning and economic survival.
DO I NEED AVIATION EXPERIENCE?
No. The brief explains the information required to dispatch a mission. Aviation constraints create the decisions, but the game does not expect professional knowledge.
DO I NEED A DISCORD ACCOUNT?
No. You can start as a guest. Discord sign-in is optional and lets you keep multiple companies attached to an online account.
CAN I CONTINUE ON ANOTHER DEVICE?
Yes. A Discord account synchronizes your companies online. Guest companies also receive a one-time recovery credential for transfer.
DOES A RUN HAVE A TIME LIMIT?
No. MINIMUMS is currently an open-ended sandbox. The run continues for as long as your operation remains viable.
