This is a general guide for any tips and tricks found by the community for the game. It is by no means comprehensive, and anyone can submit tips (accurate ones) about the different portions of the game by commenting below, or making a full guide on steam. Links will be provided as necessary if visual information about the tip is required. Hands and Inventory Management When you press F on a pile of loose bills, you will always pick up up to 300 bills. If you hold the right mouse button, and move around with loose bills in your hand, you will pick up other loose bills (leaving packs and other stuff on the floor!) You can pick up things in an organized manner from a pile by pressing and holding left click. They must be outside of a container however, otherwise you will pick up the container instead. If you are holding things in an organized manner, you will only pick up items of similar type. Bills, packs, trash, and coins will all be able to be picked up in this way. Your carry on bag (tab) can fit up to 10 items. This includes sets of 100 bills, packs, and entire blocks! Do you have bags of different sizes of trash? You can fit up to 40 items in each bag! store them (X) and they will consolidate into either one bag, or one larger and smaller bags! Individual bills, and coins always have a volume of 1. However, bills can be condensed by putting them into neat stacks, taking only 10% of their total volume. When strapped, they take an additional 50% of their current volume. This means that a pack of 100 is treated as a loose stack of 5 Smartphone DARK NET Currently, the largest number of missions you can choose from (that we have been able to confirm) is 12. The notification icon is just the number of missions that have been available since the last time you looked at your phone.Task Tracker You can have multiple active jobs open in the task tracker, but only one can be marked as the active quest that works with your scanner.Black Market Scanner Your scanner is the best tool available to you. This will not only count entire stacks of bills, but entire containers of goods and give detailed information based on the active quest chosen. Containers with bills, regardless of the type of bill held within, will glow a certain color along its edgeswhen observed with a scanner based on the requirements needed to get the contents to perfection. (Dirty=Brown, Wet=Blue, Ink stained=? Untested). This still doesn't work for marked bills, but will allow you to quickly glance and confirm what needs to be done within the container. Containers without bills will have no glow. Tasks and Requirements Bill Types Cash is available in 3 different types of currency. Dollars, Euros, and Yen. Each one is visually distinct from one another at a glance, and has different markings under UV light. Every task that provides money will give enough cash to complete it, even with the required money removed. This does not mean you can get a perfect or better score with the cash provided, but you can mix and match from multiple or previous jobs to get a better payout. (According to Fargel_Linellar most purple missions will provide ~113% of the required funding, including missions asking to convert currencies.)Bill Statuses Dirty: Cash with the dirty status will afflict the dirty status on any cash or packs in the same container. Bills can be cleaned either in the washing machine, or the workbench. Wet: Similar to the dirty status, wet will afflict this status on any cash or packs in the same container. Bills can be dried either by using the custom dryer OR by leaving them in a loose pile to dry for about 1 minute. Ink Stained: Ink stained bills will afflict the dirty status on any cash or packs in the same container. Bills that are ink stained can only be cleaned on the workbench when you have purchased the ink and grime sponge (150 crypto) Counterfeit Bills: Bills that do not have a blue or teal glow under a UV light are counterfeit. These will also be automatically discarded by any of the more advanced money counters. Marked Bills: Marked bills will have one of several different markings under a UV light, but all of them will glow red, at a slightly lower glow than the counterfeit protection of normal bills.Container Requirements Bills can be placed in packs of 100 using tape. If all of the bills in the pack are of the same value, that tape will have a unique color, even if there are only 2 to 99 bills in that pack. (10s/1k=Green, 20s= Blue, 50s/5k= Red, 100s/10k=Yellow). Stacks of cash with multiple types or values of bills will have white tape. Almost universally, with some notable exceptions, you will need to send your cash in a clean box. Dirty and wet boxes will make any bills or packs inside them also dirty and wet. Many boxes that you get from missions are either dirty, wet, or unsuitable for sending out, but if you find a good one, keep it. Wet containers can be placed near the furnace in order to dry them. If you ignore them for a little while (Less than a minute) they will become dry! Containers do need to be NEAR the furnace, not across the room or in different rooms. (Testing by Dabble) Although bills can become dirty, wet or ink stained from touching one another, boxes and bags that are dirty or wet do not spread this to other boxes and bags. It will spread these conditions to bills and packs. The only boxes that are not provided from tasks are mattresses, pallets, XXL boxes and gift boxes, though this excludes story missions in most cases. Getting deliveries in small boxes becomes rarer in late game, with large boxes as the rarest option. (Correction by ByteWolfyChu_) Suitcases are very rarely provided during missions. (by His Majesty's Victory) So far, only a handful of story missions have required sending something on a pallet. The pallets you get will mostly be for storage and aesthetics, but in the event that you are required to send multiple boxes during a mission, you can send all of the boxes on 1 pallet to improve your score on submission.Container Statuses Functional: Container must not be cut open. Clean: Container must not be dirty. This is shown by dirt and other grime on the container. This is not reversable, if a container is dirty your only option is to destroy it, or use it on a job where the container status doesn't matter. Dry: Container must be dry. If you leave it for about 1 minute near the incinerator, it will dry out. Box: Containers that are considered boxes are the Small, Medium, Large, and XXL cardboard boxes. But also includes the Cubic and flat gift boxes. Black Market (Tips, tricks and resources for every purchasable) (WIP) Every item in the game is sorted by price, as such this section is divided into the categories that appear in the market, and talks about each item individually. ToolsThis section deals with everything you need to maneuver, sort and handle money in the workbench or the machines that allow you to avoid using your hands. Stylish Steel Knife (35 Crypto) You will only ever need one throughout the entire game, but for an achievement you will want to buy one during a playthrough. Can be used in hand to cut open marked bills or a number of different containers. This includes suitcases, sports bags, trash bags, and bank bags. If you take on a mission that requires no inked bills, you will want to use the knife to open every bag, as it is likely one or more of the bags have been ink trapped. This will both unlock an achievement and prevent the bills from becoming inked. The knife can be used in your inventory to open anything you are holding as if you were holding it in hand. Including slicing open bags instead of normally opening them!Portable UV Lamp (750 Crypto) Don't let the fact its portable fool you! The UV lamp works great both in hand and in the world. This is used to find counterfeit bills in the early game, and marked bills throughout the entire game. At nighttime, marked bills are much easier to spot. Until the marked bill sorter releases, its recommended to spread bills next to a UV light and pick them up individually if marked bills are either required or notable for the job. Bills don't need to have the light pointed directly at them, the light works in a radius around them. The further away the light, the less effective it is. Marked Bills Sorter (1,300 Crypto) Can hold 300 individual bills Can sort out marked bills from all other bills. Settings include: FDI (Eye Symbol), Police (X), Gangs ( Middle of the bill X, Square Hash, and an hourglass shape), Unknown (Bloodsplatter), and all types. Does not detect counterfit bills.Washing Machine (2,000 Crypto) Can hold 350 individual bills, or 94 packs of bills. Used as a quick way to remove dirt and grime from bills, but also destroys tape on pre-packaged packs of bills. This is how you can load a washing machine with far more bills than it would normally hold, and quickly get rid of money tape without having to use a knife! (Tip from Dagna)Workbench SuppliesTo keep these supplies separate from the others it gets its own section! Everything purchased will not drop out of the cash chute in the starting room, but instead immediately be sent to the workbench. Money Tape (1 Crypto): Works just like the bill strap. Provides 100 tape for wrapping stacks of bills in the workbench. Can be purchased multiple times to automatically add tape to the workbench.(#1 to activate) High-Clarity Zoom Magnifier (1 Crypto): Grants a more intense zoom in the workbench to look at finer details or pick out smaller spots in piles of bills. (Space bar to activate) Cling Wrap (2 Crypto): Works just like cling plastic wrap. Provides 100 plastic for wrapping stacks of packs. Can be purchased multiple times to automatically add wrap to the workbench. (#2 to activate) Ultraviolet Inspection Lamp (100 Crypto): Functions similarly to the portable UV Lamp. Lights up the entire workbench with UV to help find counterfeit and marked bills. (Shift to toggle. Hold shift for a rave). Ink & Grime Sponge (150 Crypto): This cleans off both ink stained and dirty cash. Is the only way you can clean off ink stains from cash, and only works on individual bills, not packs. You do not have to flip over cash to clean the other side, just one side completes the cleaning.SuppliesThese are the supplies that you do not use in the workbench, allow for storage, and shipping of cash. Unless otherwise stated, a containers capacity is equal to its volume (how much space in bills it takes up in other storage containers). All containers have a standard color which is retrievable from both tasks, and buying on the black market. Most containers will also have an alternate color which is only available from tasks. Cardboard Box S (7 Crypto) Can hold 200 Individual Bills. Comes in two colors, standard brown, and grey.Cardboard Box M (10 crypto) Can hold 400 individual bills. Comes in two colors, standard brown, and grey.Backpack (15 Crypto) Can hold 300 individual bills. Comes in two colors, standard blue, and white/red.Cardboard Box L (15 Crypto) Can hold 600 individual bills Comes in two colors, standard brown, and grey.Classic Sports Bag (20 Crypto) Can hold 500 individual bills Comes in 4 colors, standard black, yellow (very rare), red, blue, and brown.Wooden Pallet (25 Crypto) Can hold 2900 individual bills. When shipping multiple boxes, if all are placed on a pallet it will count as a single delivery.Plastic Pallet (35 Crypto) Can hold 2900 individual bills, meaning that it holds the exact same as the wooden pallet, but has an entirely different aesthetic. When shipping multiple boxes, if all are placed on a pallet it will count as a single delivery. Is lighter than the wooden pallets, allowing you to move slightly faster than normal (Tip by LPX-2154)MiscThis section deals with shelving, decoration, and gimmick items. Armchair (50 Crypto Plastic Bucket (50 Crypto) Piggy Bank (50 Crypto) Can only ever hold coins, but of any type, and up to 50. Is treated as a bag. Interacting with the piggy bank with E even gives a zip/unzip noise. This will not prevent coins from leaving or entering the piggy bank in either direction. You can remove coins from the piggy bank by just holding it upside down (you may have to give it a shake), or by using a knife on it in either the inventory or in the open. The piggy bank has 3 different artworks associated with it. In the shop/In your manipulate menu, it has a frown. When looked at normally, it has a smile, and when broken, it has a frown and Xs for eyes. There is only 1 job that requires a piggy bank to be bought. Anything more than that would be for decoration or coin specific storage. (Needs confirmation into very late game) Permanent Structures This section includes tips about the structures that you cannot move BUT can utilize in a variety of ways, including the pig! These structures are permanently in place. Inbound Chute Most inbound items will fall in the center of the yellow X, and bounce around. Placing a cart or a pallet in the center can help to keep things organized when they fall down. This won't help for falling cash in general, or delivered pallets. It also won't help if the pallet is full.Incinerator DON'T BURN EVERYTHING! almost every item that comes down from a chute can be used in a task in some way shape or form. The exceptions to this are ripped open bags/suitcases/money bags, and dirty/wet containers. The incinerator should be used if you have an excess of medium sized boxes, or other equipment you don't want/need on top of the above point. BUG: If you burn cash in the incinerator while the same type of bills are being sorted, it may cause your bills to become dirty/ink stained/burned. (I am Viivii 1.0.4)The Pig (The main story) Any bill of any value and quality can be sent to the pig. Your counterfit, ink stained, and marked bills are perfect for this task. Yen submitted to the pig grant progress at a 1:100 ratio. The end of the story will require you to make a choice about the pig. You can fulfill all missions without settling on the decision. You must fill the pig in order to make that decision.Relaxation Area The blocks that you get from the relaxation zone can be used as both art and to help you organize your game better. These blocks do not snap to pallets or boxes.Each block has a different set of faces. The different blocks include: (J L I D S G), 2 (B H Y K O Q), 2 (D S C R M N), (B H Y K O Q), 2 (P F V E B M), 2 (W L U Z C A). Each block has been sorted by the face you see when picked up, then rotated clockwise, then top and bottom. There are also 6 art blocks.Warehouse The stacking shelves can only be closed if there is nothing underneeth the top shelf, on any shelf, or even on the floor beneath the shelving. Shelves are fast enough that pallets and boxes on top of the shelving will spring up when extended, and can spill their contents if not closed properly. Scoring Each item on this list will provide a bonus to both reputation and crypto upon successfully completing a task. By default, with the exception of more money value and much more money value, every bonus will provide a 10% reputation bonus from the base reputation. However, Exact money value will grant a +5% bonus to reputation over more money value, if you are trying to grind out reputation, but ONLY if providing perfect blocks with all other criteria perfect. In general if you can provide the exact amount and give a perfect block, it is the best value you can achieve for a task. If you cannot, then aim for over 120% value in perfect blocks. Certain story missions will prove impossible to get all of these bonuses, but those missions already provide higher cash or crypto values compared to purple missions. Each scoring will also include the rep and crypto bonus for successfully meeting that metric. Exact Money Value (10%R/15%C): Provide exactly the requested value from the order. Cannot stack with more money value and much more money value. More Money Value (5%R/5%C): Provide 110-120% of requested amount. Much More Money Value (0%R/10%C): Provide 120%+ of requested amount. Bonuses stack with more money value. Single Delivery (10%R/10%C): The money requested takes only one package to deliver. Always of the requested type. IF you cannot fit all of the money inside 1 container, shipping multiple containers on top of a pallet will satisfy this bonus. Nothing Else(10%R/5%C): You have only sent the requested items. No additional trash, coins, other cash types, or other assorted materials. No Counterfeits (10%R/10%C): There are 0 bills in the order that are counterfeits. No Marked (10%R/15%C): There are 0 bills submitted that are marked. Perfect Pack (10%R/15%C): All bills that are in packs are in packs of 100 and only of that value. Perfect Block (10%R/20%C): Everything that is wrapped in plastic has 30 perfect (100 bills) packs. Loose bills or packs around that block will still qualify for this bonus, but if anything is imperfectly wrapped it will disqualify you from this bonus. The minimum cash required for perfect packs is 30k USD, 60k EUR, or 3m YEN. Assorted tips, theories, links and guides. There are tons of tips and tricks that may or may not fit for this list, especially in regards to achievement hunting, visually interesting info, and possibly something that doesn't fit into any of the previous categories. Feel free to comment below your own tips and I'll add them to the guide! Theories!Give your theories on gameplay or other tips on what things COULD be used for! Finished the game? How about some challenges!Replay Challenge Hard Mode: From thamonk Everything purchased from the black market is paid for using cash by throwing it in the furnace as soon as its unlocked, but at 20x the value (2000x in the case of yen) All deliveries with cash must be packed, plastic wrapped, clean, dry, without ink stains, unmarked, and no counterfits. All inbound containers MUST be destroyed once obtained. Only use the scanner after everything is packed and wrapped. For an additional challenge, pay for each piece of 'free' equipment that you obtain, as stated on the first point. That includes the cash counter, the washer, dryer, ladder, and all equipment in unlocked zones.The Collector: From myselfThis is a challenge I'm currently working on. It slows down the game quite a bit, but I have to think about how to get the most bang for my buck in every currency situation. Collect 1 XXL Box filled with perfect blocks of each currency type. This includes marked bills, and each coin. Must also have a full pallet of each UNIQUE type of container (Except for pallets, of which you need only one of each). That includes color varients! Cannot earn the more money value, and much more money value bonuses, only exact money value. Whenever possible, must earn perfect blocks. (Anything with a value of over 30k USD, 60k EUR, or 300k YEN)
