Starting with the Immunivax guide and Chemist lab equipment
Choosing the Chemist starting scenario equips your shop with chemistry lab apparatus and closely guarded synthesis recipes. Even if you start in another profession with Skip Intro mode enabled, Update 049 guarantees you begin with the Immunivax guide and the topical bandage normally granted during the tutorial's after-hours visit.
When you sell crafted chemicals to customers, returning chemical feedback clients preserve their faction allegiance (fixed in Update 049), allowing you to build long-term repeat business and faction standing simultaneously.
Hydroponic Farmer: growing compact and GMO crops
The Hydroponic Farmer scenario starts you with hydroponic machines and farming supplies designed for cramped station quarters. As your operation matures, you cross-breed and cultivate genetically modified crop varieties that command massive payouts from specialty buyers—including restricted botanicals that attract Security scrutiny if left unhidden.
Harvested fruit and fermented beverages also tie into liquid processing: pouring wine into a liquid container produces Wine Extract, changing the liquid's color and value profile.
Managing chemical and alcohol addiction withdrawal
Working around narcotics and alcohol is doubly dangerous if your shopkeeper carries an Addiction perk. Since Update 049, Addiction perks impose an 8% trading penalty while in withdrawal, and withdrawal begins immediately at the start of a run.
You begin with one matching substance item that you can consume right away—which immediately updates the trade modifier for the customer currently at your counter—or save for a high-stakes negotiation later.
