Set up your crew

Agents do the work. The gear you place decides what they’re able to do.

actual in-game art — and one of each covers your whole station

PLAIN ENGLISH~4 MINNO SETUP NEEDED TO READ

01Getting an agent

Hit RECRUIT. Pick a class. That’s it — they walk in.

A class is a head start, not a cage: a RESEARCHER comes tuned for digging, a WRITER for drafting, an ENGINEER for code. You can re-spec anyone later from the same door.

// NOTHING IS LOCKEDThere are no levels to grind and no unlocks. A brand-new agent can use everything your station has, from minute one.

02One desk each

An agent working on a line needs a desk (a BAY). One agent per desk, one desk per agent. Want three jobs running at the same time? That’s three agents at three desks.

03Gear = powers

Furniture isn’t decoration. The right gear switches on a real ability — and one of each is enough for the entire station.

These are the exact power words the app shows when you place the gear — the palette tile, the placement toast and this table all say the same thing.

// WHO USES WHICH GEARAgents without their own bay draw on gear placed anywhere on the station. An agent with its own bay uses the gear in its desk’s room, and needs its own computer there. To share a piece with an agent in another room, tick it in that agent’s dossier › TOOL CHECKLIST: several agents can share one piece, and only you assign it — an agent can never assign gear to another agent.
// THE ONE EXCEPTIONComputers. Every agent needs their own PC at their desk — a desk without one shows NO COMPUTE and that agent cannot run.
// IF AN AGENT “CAN’T” DO SOMETHINGCheck the gear before you blame the agent. No dish = no web. No cabinet = no files. Place the thing and the ability switches on. No restart, no settings.
