+# Assets organization (prepared, not yet wired into the game)
+
+This patch adds a **dark factory** art set without changing runtime references yet.
+
+## Folder guide
+- `assets/dark_factory/facilities/` : new factory equipment sprites
+- `assets/dark_factory/previews/` : visual overview sheet
+- `assets/ui/` : future UI asset buckets (buttons / panels / icons / debug)
+- `assets/chicks/` : reserved for user-supplied chick sprites
+- `assets/poop/` : reserved for user-supplied poop sprites
+- `assets/_legacy/` : copied backup of older loose files
+- `assets/images/` : left untouched for compatibility with the current build
+
+## Notes
+- Grid base unit: **16x16**
+- Non-grid UI object base unit: **32x32**
+- Color count intentionally limited for a coarse pixel-art look
+- Sprites are supplied as individual PNG files with transparency
+- This patch **does not yet hook the new art into the live game**
