Demeter Operations
Operations run on ticks and pay shards on their own. Longer runs make them stronger.

- An operation has 6 phases (locate, transport crew, mine, transport cargo, refine, deliver). One example was 5, 7, 15, 7, 12 and 5 ticks.
- Completing operations pays shards automatically. Nothing to claim.
- Each completed operation in a run adds about 0.5% to the operation bonus.
- Demeter's rank comes from completed operations.
- Ahead of the Curve gives next-run head start operations. It raises scaling, not instant shards.
- Phase efficiency mods in the tree shorten every operation. See Mod Branch: Shards and Mining.
- Do not confuse completed operations with the head start ones. They feed different formulas.
