Starting paths
Six starting paths are confirmed. They are product lines, not classes — each determines what you sell and which authority comes after you.
| Path | Product line | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Gunsmith | Weapons | Deals in firearms and weapon modifications. The official description ties this line to permits, modification work and Security inspections. |
| Chemist | Chemicals | Produces and sells chemical goods. Steam states that profitable chemicals rely on closely guarded recipes, and that this line brings addiction as a consequence. |
| Water Merchant | Water | Tests, filters and resells water. Steam explicitly names testing and filtering as required steps, and liability as the failure mode. |
| Fence | Stolen goods | Buys and resells stolen merchandise at a discount. Steam frames this around hiding goods from Security and bribing your way out when caught. |
| Farmer | Produce | Grows and sells produce. The official feature list names hydroponic farming as one of the additional jobs you can master. |
| Rock Bottom | None | Starts with no product line at all. Steam lists this as starting "from pure rock bottom", making it the open-ended and hardest-framed option. |

- Organ dealer
Core systems
All 11 systems below are described on the official store page. The wording is close to the source deliberately — where the developer is specific, we stay specific; where they are vague, we do not invent detail.
| System | What the developer states |
|---|---|
| Rent Pressure | Rent increases over time regardless of how well your week went. Falling behind reduces store attractiveness, which reduces customer traffic, which reduces revenue — widening the gap. |
| Buying Out the Shop | The stated objective is to earn enough to buy out your shop before rising rent forces your hand. |
| Appraisal & Authentication | Rare items need proper appraisal to avoid overpaying. Cigarette packs need visual inspection before resale. Suppliers overstate value. |
| Counterfeiting | You can cut a product’s quality, relabel counterfeit products as genuine, or fence discounted stolen goods if you believe Security won’t reach you. |
| Customer Risk | Today’s customer could be Security fishing for evidence, a revolutionary seeking leverage, or a fallen elite testing your usefulness. Approve, refuse, report, or look away — someone is always taking notes. |
| Reputation | Reputation buys access and protection, but it also paints a target on your back. |
| Licenses | Unlock advanced licenses to access the underground market. Some trades need heavy machinery and permits. |
| Factions | Navigate cutthroat politics and build connections with the right factions to get exclusive deals. |
| Production Chains | Manage machines and production chains to craft valuable artifacts. |
| Contraband & Raids | Hide stolen goods and contraband from the authorities, or bribe your way out if you get caught. Contraband brings raids. |
| Augs | A sentient AI chip went rogue and took its hosts with it. Augs look like everyone else — until they don’t. Stay alert and pick up on the signs. Every faction agrees on the policy, and you have the gun to enforce it. Missing the signs, or misreading them, carries its own price. |
Items, NPCs and machines
The entities below are confirmed to exist — every one is named by players on the official Steam Discussions. What none of them have yet is documented behaviour: the developer has not published values, recipes, locations or drop tables for any of them.
Our policy: a page goes live when we can answer the question, not before. Writing “this is not documented” across a dozen pages helps nobody. Each entity below is being verified in the current Playtest build and will get a real page — with in-game numbers and original screenshots — as it is confirmed.
