The feature (POWERNUDGE RESPIN) switches the background to an open-range dusk/sunset desert ranch scene with a cactus, a distant windmill and farmhouse, and a purple-orange sky. All UI plaques, buttons and signage are styled as hanging wooden signs on ropes/chains with metal rivets, matching the ranch theme.",

Revealed feature values (money multipliers, NUDGE UP) are always accompanied by printed numbers or a distinct icon shape.
