How to Manage Money and Buy Survival Supplies
Collecting Funds and Tradeable Items
Under the grip of corporate greed, late-stage capitalism governs every interaction, meaning nothing in the metropolis is given out for free. To survive tough city life, prioritize gathering money and valuable items immediately. Search thoroughly inside open buildings, alleys, and plazas to find discarded goods, currency, and tradeable supplies. Keep your inventory organized so that you always know how much money you have on hand before entering commercial areas.
Purchasing Vital Goods and Services
Because every item and service comes with a cost, reckless spending will quickly leave you stranded without essentials. Before parting with your funds, carefully plan your purchases:
- Focus your money on essential survival supplies first before considering non-essential goods.
- Compare the cost of services across different corporate areas to ensure you do not overspend your reserves.
- Ration your acquired items carefully, using scavenged goods first before paying for commercial restocks.
Balancing your collected income against mandatory service fees is the only way to maintain a steady supply buffer in the city.
