[Subject: Outpost Recruiting & Recreation Initiative - Frontier Cantinas 1.10]
Greetings, Barkeeps!
Sustainable outposts require more than just resource extractors and cargo links. Long term crew retention demands high quality recreation and relaxation. To address the psychological strain of deep space deployment, our engineering team is proud to roll out the Frontier Cantinas structural package: a series of fully staffed, dynamically populated recreation habs designed to keep your outposts thriving.
[Update Highlights 1.10]:
●Added passive income generation and a cantina management, stocking, and upgrade system accessible through the cantina management desk in the outpost build menu under the miscellaneous category.
●Added faction specific names to recruitable crew to increase the ability to tell crew apart in the crew menu and enhance immersion.
●Modified recruitable cantina crew to have three different tiers (crew, specialist, and officer) with enhanced skills based on their rank.
●Swapped most misc items found inside cantinas with static items to increase performance on consoles.
●Fixed issue with patrons appearing outside of cantinas when loading into a cell.
[Product Integration Specifications]:
Use these modified vanilla habs to inject four distinct, faction themed, watering holes directly into your outpost build menu under the structures category. Tailor your settlement’s atmosphere with the following blueprints:
● Overgrown Cantina (Civilian): A neutral module engineered for the everyday pioneer. Focuses on universal comfort and standard liquid ration distribution. The perfect neutral ground for passing haulers and your civilian crew.
● UC Pub (United Colonies Navy): Built to United Colonies military grade specifications. Offers a pristine, sterile environment for off duty SysDef, UC Navy, and Vanguard personnel.
● Freestar Saloon (Freestar Collective): Designed for the harsh realities of the Freestar Collective. Durable framing, warm lighting, and a relaxed environment for Freestar rangers, administrators, engineers, and militia members.
● Crimson Dive Bar (Crimson Fleet): An off the grid dive bar module. Shielded from UC patrol scans, this hab attracts some of the galaxy's most wanted. Frequented by Crimson pirates, captains, crew, and mechanics.
● Integrated Commerce: Cantinas are deployed as fully functional commercial spaces. Each hab is staffed with a dedicated bartender for buying and selling provisions.
● Organic Traffic: Your cantinas will never feel abandoned. A rotating demographic of patrons is scheduled to visit your bar, cycling out every 48 hours UT to prevent stagnation.
● Sandbox & Pathing: Bartenders actively maintain their position behind the bar, while patrons dynamically engage with the environment.
[Deployment Briefing]
●Operations and Stocking: To get started, construct the Starware Cantina Management Desk from the Miscellaneous category in your outpost build menu. Once built, you can stock your business by placing any type of alcohol into the Deposit Fridge located to the right of the terminal. Every 2,500 credits worth of supplies you deposit will increase your bar's Stock Level by 1, up to a maximum level of 4. Keep an eye on your inventory, though, patrons drink fast, so your Stock Level will naturally decay by 1 every 2 weeks UT until it hits 0. You can review your exact inventory metrics at any time under the "Status Report" tab on your desk's terminal.
●Profits and Upgrades: Running a cantina is highly lucrative, and all generated income can be collected directly from the physical Income Safe to the left of your terminal. At a default Stock Level of 0, the desk passively generates a baseline of 300 to 500 credits per day. Keeping the bar fully stocked at Level 4 bumps your regular revenue up to roughly 5,000 credits every 48 UT hours. To skyrocket your margins, visit the terminal's "Cantina Upgrades" tab to purchase powerful local business upgrades, a fully upgraded, peak efficiency cantina will pull in a massive 19,000 credits every 48 UT hours.
● Logistical Delay & Removal: Due to transit distances in the Settled Systems, initial staff deployment requires you to wait up to 12 hours UT post construction before your cantina opens for business. In addition to that after a bar is demolished wait 1 hour UT to clear non recruited personnel from your outpost.
● Load Order Neutral: Designed using entirely standalone records. This plugin does not overwrite existing habs and maintains maximum load order compatibility.
