CHOOSE THE NEXT WORKING INCOME ROUTE
Money, sales and progression
Use cash for property, stock and wages; earn Prestige for claims and family actions; spend Feature Vault points on access to features. City Hall donations advance a separate stand meter. Start with a route you can operate, then expand into production, distribution and territory.
Mechanics and exact figures below come from the official Wiki alone, checked on 29 October 2026. They are single-source details; editorial route suggestions are identified separately.
Choose your next step
These route suggestions are editorial. The linked guides give the mechanics and requirements.
| Your question | First action | Next guide |
|---|---|---|
| Little cash: what can I do now? | Find paid taxi, hot dog or doorman work | Money farm |
| Which business should I buy? | Budget purchase, setup, stock and ongoing work | Best business |
| Where does my product go? | Carry sellable stock to a sales point or store output for distribution | Sell product |
| How do I earn Prestige before territory? | Manual Office jobs, family requests and protection-business captures | Prestige |
| How do I take a district? | Capture its required locations, then start and defend the claim | Territory |
| How do I unlock equipment and activities? | Earn FV points and follow node prerequisites | Feature Vault |
| How do I own a stand? | FV unlock, City Hall meter, purchase, then stock | Hot dog stand |
Keep the balances separate
A Feature Vault unlock grants access; it does not buy equipment or hire staff. A business purchase still needs operating money. Prestige pays for territorial claims and certain family actions, and district ownership later supplies recurring Prestige. City Hall donations do not add FV points.
Fund a complete production and sales chain
Small manual production needs property access, equipment, inputs and an outlet. A Warehouse adds staff-operated processing, storage and distribution; dealers and Cartel orders are separate destinations. Do not commit the same stock to outlet deliveries and a contract without budgeting both.
Use figures for the decision they support
Base prices and exact mechanics here are Wiki-only details. A creator’s Fight Club payout remains a single report, and conflicting stolen-car formulas remain separate. Neither purchase prices nor gross payouts establish the best hourly profit.
Questions
What should I do when I run out of money?
Return to paid street work before another purchase. Taxi shifts do not require taxi ownership. The money route guide compares unlocks, cash needs and workload.
How do I start earning Prestige?
Manual Office jobs and family requests work before district ownership. Capturing protection-money businesses also grants Prestige; district income begins after claiming a district.
Do City Hall donations unlock Feature Vault nodes?
No. Donations fill a stand-availability meter. FV points unlock the Hot Dog stand feature separately, and the stand still needs purchasing and stock.
