Verifying game balance formulas in Lua requires auditing damage, XP curves, and drop rates to ensure hard-coded constants are moved into a central config. This process surfaces undocumented values and generates a report with recommended adjustments.

Hard-coded magic numbers in Roblox game balance are undocumented constants embedded directly in damage or XP curve formulas. They cause progression and economy scaling issues because they are difficult to locate, tune, and document during design iterations.

Balance checking works for Luau-based Roblox progression and economy systems by validating difficulty scaling, drop rates, and XP curves. It ensures tunable constants are explicitly defined in configuration files and documented in design docs.

Auditing Roblox damage formulas and XP curves involves scanning Luau scripts to identify hard-coded constants. The check validates that these tunable values are externalized to a central config and generates a balance report with recommended edge-case adjustments.

Documenting difficulty scaling and drop rates in Roblox is best achieved by externalizing constants into a central config and validating them against design docs. This ensures formulas remain explicit and generates a report with recommended adjustments.
