Expansion Hub is the growing extension platform for Eggy Pool.
Rather than limiting future additions to one specific feature, Expansion Hub provides a dedicated foundation for introducing new systems, progression features, competitive elements and other enhancements to Eggy Pool over time.
The first feature included with Expansion Hub 1.0.0 is a complete Trophies & Achievements system.
Trophies & Achievements
Players can earn achievements naturally while playing Pool against human opponents and, when installed, the AI Opponent.Progression can be based on a wide range of activity including:
• Matches played
• Matches won
• Human opponents
• AI opponents
• Win percentages
• Winning streaks
• Balls potted
• 8 balls potted
• Match history
• Opponent difficulty
• Trophy collection
• Advanced multi condition requirements
Achievements range from straightforward milestones through to more advanced challenges requiring combinations of statistics, minimum samples, specific opponents, difficulty levels, time windows and prerequisite achievements.
Trophy Cabinet
Every earned achievement contributes to the player's progression profile.The Trophy Cabinet provides a dedicated place to view earned trophies, rarity, Trophy Points, achievement history and progression towards future unlocks.
Achievements can include:
• Trophy Points
• Multiple rarity levels
• Different trophy materials
• Progress tracking
• Secret achievements
• Repeatable achievements
• Cooldowns
• Maximum award limits
• Prerequisites
• Achievement chains
• Availability periods
• Custom unlock messages
Powerful Administrator Controls
Expansion Hub includes a dedicated XenForo ACP management system.Administrators can create their own achievements or customise the included defaults without editing code.
The achievement editor supports:
• Custom titles and descriptions
• Categories
• Trophy Points
• Rarity
• Trophy appearance
• Progress visibility
• Multiple conditions
• ALL, ANY and AT LEAST condition groups
• Between and threshold rules
• Match windows
• Minimum statistical samples
• Human and AI requirements
• Prerequisite achievements
• Achievement chains
• Repeatable achievements
• Cooldowns
• Maximum awards
• Start and expiry dates
• Secret achievements
• Custom unlock messages
Invalid or impossible rule combinations are rejected by the ACP rather than silently creating broken achievements.
57 Achievements Included
Expansion Hub 1.0.0 includes 57 ready to use achievements covering multiple areas of Pool gameplay.They can be edited, disabled or retired individually, allowing administrators to adapt progression to their own community.
Human and AI Tracking
Expansion Hub integrates directly with Eggy Pool activity while keeping the base game independent.Human match tracking includes match results, wins, losses, forfeits, potting statistics, streaks, opponents and other progression data.
When Eggy Pool: AI Opponent is installed, AI specific progression becomes available including opponent difficulty and AI match performance.
The AI extension is optional. Expansion Hub continues to operate with human Pool gameplay without it.
Reliable Progress Tracking
Achievement processing uses immediate gameplay events as the primary tracking path, with reconciliation available as a recovery mechanism.Built in protection includes:
• Duplicate event protection
• Historical reconciliation
• Failure isolation
• AI reconciliation
• Tracking diagnostics
• Achievement dependency validation
• Historical Trophy Point accounting
• Repeatable achievement cycle tracking
Expansion Hub failures are isolated from the authoritative Pool game processing so progression tracking cannot intentionally interrupt the underlying match.
Designed to Grow
Trophies & Achievements is the first Expansion Hub feature, not the limit of the product.Expansion Hub has been designed as the central platform through which additional Eggy Pool systems and experiences can be introduced in future releases.
Eggy Pool: AI Opponent 1.0.0 or later is optional and only required for AI related features and achievements.
Updates
Purchase includes 12 months of updates.I’d use that as the XenForo.com description because it clearly establishes that Expansion Hub is the overall expandable product, while Trophies & Achievements is simply what ships in 1.0.0.
