The Gatehouse
The bulk of the active player characters decided at the end of 2025 to set themselves up as an employment exchange in much the same way as the Bar they were operating out of. They set up the facility between E18 and E19 and then finalised the project between E19 and E20 after the Bar they were working out of blew up.
Resource Management
Current total of weeks that can be allocated = 80
| Resource | Minimum Allocation | Results Of Extra Allocation |
|---|---|---|
| Weapons | 8 weeks | 2000b generated per week to a max of 20000b |
| Armour | 8 weeks | 2000b generated per week to a max of 20000b |
| Food | 16 weeks | 1000b generated per week, no maximum. Fresh food has a knock-on effect to recruitment and reputation |
| Booze | No minimum | 500b generated per week, no maximum. Alcohol has a knock-on effect to recruitment and reputation |
| First Aid | 16 weeks | Additional weeks generate no income but provide pills for sale at events, approx 100 pills per week |
| Water | 8 weeks | Additional weeks generate no benefits |
| Scrounging | No minimum | 1000b generated per week to a maximum of 10000b |
| Scouting | No minimum | Generates no income but has a chance to yield rumours and field intel |
| Smuggling | No minimum | Staff can be allocated to boost the smuggling process if specific items are needed from the outside world. The cost is determined case by case by the game team |
Weapons and armour generated by this process are not solely for sale to the players in uptime, they are for arming those smuggled in as new freelancers (and by extension, new characters). The exact composition of the weapons is below the abstraction layer. Assume that whatever you want to buy is there.
The food produced for the general freelancer population is relatively basic, large amounts of vegetable stews and soups, with basic cuts of meat. Food available at events will be slightly different.
First aid supplies produces the materials for the first aid kit (whatever your chosen phys-rep is) as well as the painkillers to go with it. Every event will have two boxes of Tictacs up for sale. Every additional week allocated puts two more boxes of Tictacs up for sale.
The booze is basic moonshine from a still, flavoured with whatever is handy. It is primarily intended to keep the bar stocked between events, there may be a small amount at events.
