Jobs & income

Roleplay Project ships a number of legal income streams. They're designed so you can earn enough to roleplay properly without it feeling like a grind.

# The /jobs hub

/jobs opens a unified panel showing:

• Overview — combined earnings across all jobs, current active job, hours worked.
• Trucking — cargo runs (see below), live progress for an in-flight shipment, lifetime stats, history of recent jobs.
• Bus Driver — rank, performance score, current shift, route history, tips.

This hub is the central management view. To start a job, you still go to the in-world depot/terminal NPC and use the prompt — the hub just tracks state.

# Trucking

Pick up cargo at a Trucking Depot, deliver it across a chain of stops, get paid per stop + a completion bonus.

• Depots: Davis (Mission Row), East LS (port).
• Cargo classes: light / medium / heavy. Heavier pays more but the truck handles worse.
• Pay structure: Base payment + bonus per stop completed + distance multiplier.
• One in-flight job at a time. Cancel via /cancelshipment if needed (forfeits payment).
• Company cut: if you're trucking for a company you're employed by, a percentage goes to the company treasury.

The UI tracks every stop visually with checkpoint markers; the bottom HUD shows distance to next stop and current cargo value.

# Bus Driver

Run scheduled bus routes between terminals. Pay scales with rank, route length, and passenger pickups.

• Sign on at any Bus Terminal to start a shift.
• Routes are defined route-by-route by admins; you choose one when starting.
• Ranks: trainee → regular → senior → master. Routes completed and performance score (no-collisions, on-time arrivals) drive promotion.
• Tips: passengers can tip on completion of a leg. These add to your total but go to your character, not the route operator.
• Shift bonuses: complete enough routes in one shift and you get a flat bonus on clock-out.

# Fishing

Buy a rod from a sporting-goods store or Vespucci pier kiosk. Walk to the end of any pier or shore spot. Stand still and the prompt will show "Press E to fish". Different spots have different fish populations and quality. Sell to fish markets at the docks.

# Mining

Mining permits are sold at the Sandy Shores DIY shop. With one, walk into one of the marked mining zones (NE Chiliad, Grapeseed quarry) and break stone with a pickaxe. Rough ore → smelter → ingots → sell.

# Farming

Apply for a farming licence at the Davis licensing department. Once licensed, work plots at a registered farm — plant, water, harvest, sell to the food co-op. The Farm Office (signposted on the GPS) is where you start a session; press E when standing in the office to see the manage UI.

# Other paid roles

• Lumber jacking at Paleto sawmill.
• Garbage collection (legacy "trash routes") via Davis Waste Management.
• Postal delivery — pick up routes at the LS Post Office.
• Ride-hailing (Ryde) — register as a driver via /ryde, accept fares from the public.

These don't all live in /jobs yet — most have their own depot UI right now. They'll migrate over to the hub in subsequent updates.
