The win condition
The official 1.0 ending: “Buy the store from the landlord and become its rightful owner.” Official You then get a stats screen with your most profitable sale, days survived, total worth and perks earned Official. The run-ending achievement is Keys to the Kingdom (“Own the deed to the store”). Only 3.5% of players had it a day after launch Steam data.
Buyout price over time
| Period | Store price |
|---|---|
| Days 1–50 | 36,000 |
| From day 51 | +100 / day |
| Cap | 56,000 |
Day 50 is a real deadline. Every day past it adds 100 to the price on top of rent. Before you expand production mid-run, weigh the extra profit against the higher price and the extra rent you’ll pay while waiting Community. The Prodigious achievement rewards owning the deed before day 50. It’s held by 1.3% of players Steam data.
Paying in full: sell off inventory ahead of time. Once you have the full amount, you can buy on the landlord’s collection day without paying that period’s rent first Community.
The mortgage option
Worked example at a 36,000 price Community:
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 7,000 |
| Weekly payment | 2,370 × 16 weeks |
| Total paid for the store | 44,920 |
How you get the offer:
- The loan shark introduces himself once your cash reaches the down payment.
- The formal mortgage offer comes on a later rent day. By then you must have met the loan shark, must not have refused the mortgage, and must hold twice the current down payment in cash. In this example that’s 14,000 on hand, though signing only takes 7,000.
- The weekly payment replaces rent, so you don’t pay both. It keeps the existing rent countdown, so check when the first payment is due.
Is it worth it? The author’s rule: take last week’s income, subtract restocking and daily costs (not rent), and compare what’s left with the weekly payment. If your cash swings a lot or the margin is thin, keep saving for the full price Community.
Business permit
Owning the business permit unlocks Authorized (9.5% of players) Steam data. Community milestones Community:
- Start budgeting for the permit from around day 24.
- The trade committee official first visits around day 38.
- The permit’s normal purchase price is 3,000. Goods-for-deferral deals help with short-term cash flow, but the guide’s advice is to budget the permit into any long-term plan.
Rent: the pressure that never stops
Rent keeps rising for the whole run, and “confiscated stock or a bad deal can leave you struggling to make the next payment” Official. Two habits help:
- Set aside next rent first and plan purchases around what’s left.
- Avoid confiscation. See security, smuggling & augs for how inspections and raids work.
Endings and what’s next
- The game has a fail state: run out of road on rent and the run ends with “a little more sad” stats Official. There’s also an Augmented ending for missing too many augs. Playtest patch 48.3.10 limited it to Hard mode Official. See augs.
- The developer plans a main storyline expansion “which will affect the station and the ending” Official.
