You need to study human behavior, predict their purchases, and categorize their appearance. All while running a successful business and avoiding assassination. Odds, upgrades and foreign investment come into play. These beginner's tips will help you get started with Roadside Research.
Roadside Research is Early Access, so the information below is subject to change.
Don't commit roadkill
I feel like this should be common sense, but Getting hit by a car is surprisingly easy From the full version of Roadside Research. In the demo, cars crashing into you don't do any damage, but the developers clearly felt this wasn't fun enough. If you stand too far away from the road when at a gas station; The car will speed straight towards you. It makes you die unconsciously.
Personally, this isn't a problem, but since you respawn right away at the gas station, Life can become a little more difficult because your level of doubt increases. There are quite a few clumps to clean up and some curious customers. So try to avoid traffic jams as much as possible.
HumanitZ: 8 Beginner Tips
Avoid infection and starvation with these tips:
think clearly
Customers love a clean, friendly environment, but despite this fact, they love to be their own litter bugs. It's clear what needs to be cleaned.Such as restrooms and gas pump areas. they emit green clouds when dirtyNow you know it's time to organize your items. but, Not all areas are clear.
The store entrance, outside parking lot, and even the checkout counter are dirty.; It's not very clear. If a customer isn't satisfied with the cleanliness of your gas station, but you can't see any green clouds or flies, grab a sponge and wipe it down here and there, just in case. The cashier's desk is definitely one you don't notice getting dirty.
You don't have to wait for the area to get dirty to clean it. If you have some free time, scrub the area and if you see bubbles, you'll know it's doing something.
Be super stealthy
As a gas station attendant, one of your jobs is to take pictures and catalog customers as they visit. At the start of your day you are given three things to pay attention to, once you unlock your camera: You must take a photo of the customer without being detected.
While it should not be visible to customers taking pictures, You must also act discreetly and not be visible to any customers. Unfortunately, you don't necessarily need the object to see you for the gas station to become suspicious. It could be anyone who catches you peeping.
game glitch
Roadside Research is in early access, so it's normal to see some bugs or glitches. One problem you may face is If you drop an object anywhere, you lose it. Other than that tool board.
Take your camera, sponge, and extra products outside for easy access. Don't be surprised if you come back and find it across the parking lot. From where you left them. If you lose something, make sure there is plenty of space.
price adjustment
You can adjust your product prices from the beginning, but you may be worried that this will irritate or upset your customers. but, Just making subtle changes can increase the price of a product pretty quickly..
Customers don't seem to have a problem with the item unless you immediately add $10 to it. If that happens, gently lower it back down and try again.
The 'Hypnoic Image Projector' may help customers accept huge price increases, but it may also raise suspicions at gas stations.
resale value
It can be frustrating to buy a lot of items just to upgrade the next day and then have to delete the old ones, potentially losing money. Luckily, the developers at Roadside Research were kind and If you remove an item from the construction menu, you will receive a full refund..
In the configuration menu, select the top right button labeled 'Enter Edit Mode'. This will allow you to delete the item and get your money back.
simplify money
If you accidentally choose the wrong change amount at the register and end up getting free money (even just a few cents), you can simplify the process by setting up an ATM at your gas station and unlocking it.
ATM recommends that customers: Use your card instead of cash at the checkout. This makes the checkout process much faster (if the buttons are a bit tricky). And you can save a lot of money In the long run.
Be careful who you film
Earning more Alien Points unlocks new Alien technology that can be purchased. Some are just meant to harass co-workers, while others can be used against customers. but, Be careful around agents They are coming to catch you behaving inhumanely.
For example, if you decide to use a laser gun on your agent, If they wake up you will be assassinated very quickly. It may seem fun at the time, but is it worth it if you end up rolling around on the floor?
