You're a Quartermaster! Let's make money!

Your 'official' job capacity is to take orders from the crew for such things as medicines, bots, and weapons. In practice, you often get a few orders early on from people looking for materials and then are mostly free to do what you want.

An active quartermaster will typically account for well over 90% of the crew's final score at the end of the round. They are also one of the few offices on the station that actually turn a profit on a regular basis, so if the station ends up in the black, it's often creditable to the QMs. While relatively meaningless in the long run, it's still kind of satisfying to see that while the rest of the crew was preoccupied with such important things as passing out in a pool of vomit, wearing their own ass as a hat, or trying and failing to strangle a chimpanzee, you've made the entire station worth it.

Buy! Sell!

QuartermastersConsole.png

See that orange console, the image of which you see above? Time to get acquainted with it. You're going to be spending a large amount of time glued to it. Go ahead, click on it! You'll get some options:

  • Order Items - Shows a list of commodities. Clicking the link will bring up a comment box, the crate will be tagged with whatever you enter here. Handy for keeping track of requests.
  • View Requests - See the request console outside the QM's office? Those requests go here. Clicking "Approve" works just like ordering things from the regular order screen. "Remove" will deny the request, and "Clear list" will wipe all requests. Labelling the crate with the name of the person who ordered it can help you keep track of them.
  • View Order History - Pretty self explanatory and not terribly helpful since you get a PDA notification every time you or another QM buys something.
  • View Shipping Market - This shows you the current prices of various commodities. Things marked as "HOT!" are worth significantly more right now then they usually are on the market. Ideally, you'll be tracking down what's in high demand and sell it off for loads of dough.
  • Contact Traders - Multiple traders will be available after each market shift. Contact them here.
    • After ordering things from a trader, go back one step to tell them to actually send the crate.
    • To sell to a trader, tag the crate with a barcode from the QM Barcode computer.
  • Requisitions - Off-station buyers will put out open-market requisition contracts, which you can fulfill with specific items for a listed payout. The rewards can be cash, items, or a combination of both. These rotate with each market shift, but you can pin most contracts to keep them available through rotations (a few requisitions are time-sensitive and can't be pinned).
  • Rockbox Controls - Lets you control fees on ores sold from the Miners' RockBox through the fabricators and manufacturers. You can control percentage and minimum fee taken per ore, which go to the shipping budget. You can also pay 10 000 credits for a premium service; this waives the 5 credit transaction fee RockBox itself takes (which doesn't go to the station budget), so you can take it for yourself.

Your orders will come flying through space, landing on the lower east conveyor belt in the supply dock. Turn on the conveyor belts to roll them into the QM office proper. The blast doors should automatically open for crates to come in, but they close after a while. If a crate hits the blast door while it is closed, further crates may pile up on the belt and cause a jam. Get a spacesuit and jetpack or a space pod to clear the jam and let crates keep coming in.

To sell items, just load them (in a crate) on the upper east conveyor belt and turn it on. It will be catapulted into space and sold for sweet cash. Somehow. Don't forget to tag the crate if you're responding to a trade offer, or its contents will just be sold on the public market instead.

Shipping and Receiving

If you get an order from a crew member who isn't at your office ready to take the crate then you'll have to mail it to them. You have a couple of ways to send things around the ship/station, each with their upsides and downsides. On all maps, you have a cargo transporter, and depending on the map, you can also use a MULEBot, Belt Hell, and/or the Cargo Carousel. And of course, you can always just pull stuff to its destination yourself. Play around with them, and select the best one based on the situation.

Cargo Transporter

CargoPad.png CargoTransporterV2-32x32.png

Compatible with closets/lockers, crates alien artifacts, and a few other random things. There aren't too many cargo pads around, but teleportation works almost instantly. Generally, It's used by miners to send things back to the station and by scientists to send artifacts to you to sell.

Available Destinations

The MULE

MulebotV2-32x32.gif

The MULEbot is one of the few ways to quickly transport large amounts of goods across the station. Not every map has one, and while it is possible to order one if your workplace lacks one, there is no guarantee that the map's system of navigational beacons (which are also used by other robots) was designed for MULE use. Most maps in rotation at this point have MULE beacons, and if cargo starts with a MULE, it has beacons for it.

The MULE can carry any kind of cargo. Simply click-drag the sprite of the object of interest onto the MULEbot's sprite. To actually send it somewhere, take out your PDA and find the "MULE Bot Control" app. Choose the correct MULE (if there are multiple), select a destination (you may need to Rescan to get a valid list), and send it away!

Hovering your mouse cursor over the MULEbot brings up an interface to turn the machine on and off, and it is possible to click on the device with a screwdriver, opening the panel up for some hacking. Through hacking, it is possible to tune the motor to make the MULEbot go faster, and a devious QM can remove the MULE's traffic safety routines for nefarious purposes.

The MULEbot has historically been somewhat finicky, and its pathfinding artificial intelligence leans towards artificial stupidity at times. Judicious Rescan-ing of locations and turning the thing on and off may help get it working again.

Oshan Laboratory deliberately forgoes MULEBots. Part of the reasoning is to avoid flooding, but a bigger part of it is because the MULEBot's god-awful pathfinding problems would only be exacerbated on a map as large as Oshan. There are still beacons and such for the GuardBuddies and Securitrons, but they're not meant to be used by MULEBots.

Belt Hell

BarcodeComputerQM.png

Belt Hell is an affectionate name for the system of conveyor belts which can distribute items around the station. This isn't limited to the quartermaster, and can in fact be used as a personal transport system by daring crew members.

It is employed by using the barcode computer that's sitting around at all conveyor belt stations. This will let you pick from several destinations, and print a barcode sticker. Put that sticker on whatever you wish to send (manually or by using drag & drop), and push it onto the conveyor belt to send it on a bumpy ride.

Available Destinations

  • Arrivals: North of the arrivals shuttle.
  • Catering: North of the kitchen.
  • Disposals: Stuff sent here will be ground to scrap. You were warned.
  • Engine: Inside engineering proper.
  • Escape: South of the escape shuttle.
  • Export: This will sell items in a crate at the current market rate.
  • Med-Sci: South of Research.
  • Security: At the room left of the interrogation room.
  • QM: Properly inside the QM's haunts.
  • Airbridge(Right next to the main airbridge, near Medbay.)
  • Cafeteria (Across the hall from the bar, close to the Pool.)
  • Catering (Between kitchen maintenance and hydroponics.)
  • Disposals (Stuff sent here will be ground to scrap. You were warned.)
  • Engine (Inside engineering proper.)
  • EVA (In a maintenance corridor near EVA.)
  • Medical-Science (Between medbay's pharmacy and chemistry.)
  • QM (Properly inside the QM's haunts.)
  • Security (At the northern end of the brig.)

Cargo Carousel

The cargo carousel is a huge conveyor belt system that runs around the inner rim of Oshan Laboratory, with some parts within the station's maintenance tunnels and others on the open seafloor, with plastic flaps carefully blocking floodwater where the belt enters and exits the sea. Unlike Belt Hell, which violently launches shipments via multiple stations of conveyor belt mass drivers, the carousel rather breezily carries them to their destinations on one continuous loop, like a lazy river or those luggage carousels you see at airports. Enterprising engineers may redirect power to the carousel power unit to speed up the system, but since the carousel only has two destinations (and neither are that helpful), it almost never gets used.

Sending large goods via the cargo carousel is much like sending them with Belt Hell on other stations. You use a barcode computer at one of the carousel locations to print out a sticker with the destination of interest, stick it onto whatever you want to ship, and then push it onto the conveyor belt for a lazy ride under the ocean.

Making Money

When you're more comfortable in your station, consider asking people to give you things that are profitable on the market for you to sell. If they aren't willing to work for free, have them slap a barcode with their ID tag on the crates of goods to be sold to split the profits 50/50 between the shipping budget and their own bank account. Miners, for example, rarely have a use for certain rare minerals like syreline, cobryl, and gold. These ores tend to fetch high prices on the market, so ask them to set up the RockBox to sell so that you can buy ores from them to resell on the open market. Botanists will also sometimes grow way too much weed, and you can shore up your bank account by becoming an intergalactic dank dealer.

If there aren't any botanists, don't fret. You can start your own grow-op! Just order yourself a few Hydroponics Starter crates and procure some seeds. The Jazz Lounge usually has a few cannabis seeds hidden under some scrubs, and there's a seed dispenser in an abandoned satellite a good distance south of the Space Diner. If there's an AI online, you can also simply ask it to let you into Hydroponics for seeds.

Occasionally, something that you can purchase with your Quartermaster Console will also be profitable on the market. In this case, you can buy crates of goods and immediately sell them for more than you bought them for. When this happens, your profits are only limited by how fast you can move crates. The Engineers may be able to set up a mechanism for you to sell the inbound crates much faster than you could manually.

Other sources of money

Every other market shift, Cargo receives a mail crate loaded up with mail. Deliver each piece of mail to its intended recipient, and you'll get a little payout. The first piece of mail is worth 100 credits, and every piece of mail afterwards is worth 10 additional credits (e.g. 2nd gives 110 credits, 3rd 120, etc. This is capped at 1000 credits.) The amount of mail received is equivalent to about 37.5% of the number of people alive; it's 50% with a Mail Courier on-board. It's not much, but the work is pretty easy, and every piece of mail comes with a nice little gift for the recipient, catered to their job. Each piece of mail is DNA-locked, but if you're feeling mean, you can slice one open with a knife (and only a knife) to yields its contents—but you wouldn't stoop so low as to commit mail fraud, right?

NPC traders will occasionally offer you trades. Most of these are useless, but occasionally you can get offers that will pay for material at much more than market price. These can occasionally make you 100,000 credits less than 10 minutes into the round.

While you can reach some traders with the console, NPC traders don't purely exist online. Take your space pod and go exploring for others!

Also, the AI, Captain, and Head of Personnel have access to the station's bankrolls and can shore up the Shipping budget if things go wrong for whatever reason. Assuming, of course, a treacherous HoP hasn't spent the entire budget trying to become a death-commando with an entire armory in one bag and amazingly gaudy armor or some Traitor isn't demanding the whole budget as ransom money.

Particularly ingenious engineers may be kind enough to divert unused power to the Power Transmission Laser, creating a gigantic laser beam to some strange place in space willing to pay to have a massive laser beam pointed at them. If this happens, rejoice, but not right away. Instead of sending it to a certain budget or account, the PTL stores the money earned, waiting for someone with APC access to claim a piece. The Engineers, Chief Engineer, Head of Security, and Captain start with APC access, so you could ask them for a share.

In addition, philanthropic crew members (including yourself) can donate to the shipping budget when they access a Supply Request Console and pick Request Supply Points, at a rate of one supply point per credit donated. Not too useful considering how it's rarely used, but, hey, it's the thought that counts.

Other ways to waste money

NPC traders will also occasionally offer to sell you things. These trades are usually overpriced garbage, but certain ones can be useful. Check in on the randomly-generated traders each market shift, as they may be selling something rare and valuable.

Funding gimmicks or insanity is also an acceptable way to use your fat stacks of cash, particularly if doing so in spite. If the Head of Security orders you to buy a million guns to outfit his personal army, consider ordering a shuttle full of liquor instead and telling the Head of Security that his team will still be loaded.

The Price is Right

In the Contact Traders tab on the QM console, you can buy and sell from various space traders that come by the station. There are five consistent traders that have profile pictures and similar sales each shift, and a variety of procedurally generated traders that have a generic profile picture and random name and trades. The consistent traders often will not be perfectly clear about what they are selling. To further complicate matters, some trades may represent multiple possible outcomes, and what you will get cannot be determined until you purchase their item.

Traders can be haggled with in order to get better prices for buying or selling. Each trader has a preset amount of deviation from the current price that they're willing to tolerate before rejecting your offer, and a range of possible patience values that represent how many haggle attempts they will tolerate before getting frustrated and refusing to trade with you. Traders will haggle you back, so the actual value of the offer after haggling will be somewhere in the middle of the original price and your offer, favoring them. All traders have a "final offer" line that they will say when they are out of patience, but they may try to fake you out by using this line when they are still willing to haggle more. Each trader has a chance of arriving and leaving every time the market changes, and a maximum number of item types that they can buy and sell. All traders will buy and sell at least one item every market shift.

Generic Trader

Generic.png

These are random space merchants that can have a variety of stuff. They are always honest and often have helpful or profitable trades. Each one has a randomly-generated name, like "100% Rosensteel" or "Merchant Mendoza", so the name(s) you'll see will differ between rounds.

Generic traders have a price change tolerance of 20% and a patience between 4 and 20. They have a 45% chance of arriving each market shift and a 66% chance of leaving each market shift. They buy a maximum of 5 items at once and sell a maximum of 4 items at once. Their final offer line is "This is my final offer. Can't do better than this."

Pianzi is a lizard man who is known for being a scammer and all-around total asshole. He is the only trader who will accept your offer instead of correcting you if you haggle in his favor, though that's really on you for not paying attention. Most of the items that he's willing to sell have multiple possible outcomes, meaning that you can't really know what he'll send you until you've already spent your money.

Pianzi has a price change tolerance of 33% and a patience between 12 and 20. He has a 25% chance of arriving each market shift and a 25% chance of leaving each market shift.

You Want It? It's Yours, My Friend

Not everyone you can trade with is interested in item-by-item trades. Some off-station clients will want a particular set of items, and they'll put out a contract for the whole thing at once. Requisition contracts will typically be somewhat involved to fulfill, but pay out significantly better per unit than selling on the regular market.

Most requisition contracts can be found in the Requisitions tab on the QM console - this is the requisitions "clearinghouse", your most reliable way to view and complete contracts. Contracts from here are "safe" to fulfill; the cargo appraiser can evaluate whether a crate labeled for a given requisition contract will actually fulfill it (and elaborate on why it doesn't, if it doesn't), and if you send an incorrectly-filled crate anyway, it'll be returned to you.

Market contracts have a base payout and typically an additional payout modifier based on the particular items they've requested (all priced into the payout number you see). Additionally, some contracts have a special item reward, which will typically be listed alongside the payout and shipped to you on successful contract fulfillment.

Occasionally, you can also receive a physical requisition contract - these are third-party requisitions (also known as "special" requisitions). They don't appear in the computer and have no protections afforded from the clearinghouse, so you'll need to make sure you have the contents right the first time, and include the sheet when you send out the crate.

Aid Requisitions

One of the three market requisition categories, calling for urgent aid. Here's the details:

  • Only one contract of this type can appear on the market at a time, and it can't be pinned.
  • Contracts of this type will remain on the market for a limited number of market cycles; they can be removed before this by fulfilling the contract.
  • Will typically be relatively simple to fulfill with goods you can acquire or assemble from QM.

Here's the possible contracts in this category. Empty denotes that a given item will always be required if no items above it in the list were picked. Multiple entries can generate concurrently unless otherwise denoted.

You're Gonna Need to Sign For That

As a quartermaster, you will sometimes get people asking you to order things for them. Some people will be very polite about this, coming down to the cargo bay in person, using the appropriate computer, and leaving clear instructions on delivery. Others will be very rude, simply barking an order over the radio and not responding when you ask them for details.

Generally speaking, you should be generous with people who are kind to you, and ignore people who are rude. This is not just for your ego - rude people will often forget to pick up orders, and you will then have a clutter crate that you don't want and don't need lying around. If the need is urgent or coincides with an emergency on the station, though, you should obviously make exceptions. The Chief Engineer is not going to come down and ask nicely for you to order tools, Floorbots, and metal when a bomb just went off in the escape hallway. In fact, they're your boss and have cargo access, so they'll probably just walk in and buy what they need for themselves.

When someone comes down to the cargo bay and asks you for something verbally, ask them to use the requests computer outside your office. They will order exactly what they want, and you can later just approve the order on your terminal. This limits mistakes and overbuying.

Beyond that, there are a few things you can buy that will never be unappreciated.

  • Emergency equipment crates have lots of emergency internals - gas masks and air tanks instantly become worth their weight in gold when the station starts depressurizing. They also carry floorbots, which will handle the hardest and most dangerous step to repairing a hole in the station - putting the floor back down so people can work.
  • Medical supply crates are also much appreciated, and will be opportunistically picked clean if you leave a few outside your office. This is not a bad thing. These crates are cheap and it's a good thing for people to keep medicine on them.
  • Radiation emergency crates have radiation suits and anti-rad medicine, which is an enormous help in a radiation storm. Consider putting on a suit yourself and then delivering boxes of them to the masses hiding away in the maintenance tunnels.
  • Utility belt crates are very cheap and have two belts and some tools to put in them. You will probably want one for yourself, and other people probably will too.

Beyond that, try doing something nice for a department that hasn't asked for it.

  • Hydroponics loves getting a few hydroponic crates, since it is the one of the only ways for them to get more pots to grow with, and they will never complain about bee or nutrient crates either.
  • Robotics will appreciate getting crates full of metal and glass sheets and cable coils, since they consume huge amounts of the materials they can be reclaimed for.
  • The chef loves getting food crates, since the kitchen can run out of ingredients fairly quickly.
  • Medbay can always use more medicine, especially the rarer types like Pentetic Acid and Omnizine.
  • Gragg the rockworm trader will sell various ores, which can be useful. Engineers might appreciate extra plasmastone and the miners may want uqill if it's early in the shift or their luck has been bad.
  • Vurdulak The Shrouded is a mysterious merchant that sells alien artifacts. If the miners have had bad artifact luck or are absent, the scientists may appreciate some extra artifacts.

Crew Objectives

As a loyal crew member, you can sometimes be assigned some strictly optional objectives to keep yourself busy while you wait for something to happen. If you complete your objectives by the end of the round, you'll get some bonus Spacebux and might even earn some Medals too. As a quartermaster, you can expect to see the following:

Have 50,000 credits in the shipping budget at the end of the round
Pretty trivial to accomplish if you just do your job. You will, however, have to hope that you don't get any meddling from the AI, a greedy head, or a traitor with a financial goal.

Completing this objective for the first time gives you the Tax Haven medal. Aside from the pleasure of seeing a number go up, this medal unfortunately has no reward associated with it.

War is a Business: Antagonist Quartermaster

MurderMULENew.png

A quartermaster who is an antagonist is as good or as bad as their plan. Quartermasters can essentially produce things out of thin air, and most of the things they can produce have frightening potential. However, having all of these options can ironically be an antag QM's downfall: as they flounder around trying to get everything, they often end up tipping their hand and doing nothing at all. When starting your round as an antagonist, use the first few minutes to consider exactly what you want to do that round and then buy the necessary crates. For example, if you want to go on a psychopathic rampage, order lots and lots of phasers and be sure to murder your co-workers the instant you're able.

Your cargo bay is pretty isolated, which makes for a good base of operations, but also makes you very suspicious. Security is used to getting calls that the QM is doing something shady, and they don't need much of an excuse to demand a search. Always have a backup plan to keep yourself as inconspicuous as possible. The outbound cargo belt (and, if applicable, pod bay) provides a quick place to get rid of murder victims. Any chutes are easy places to hide emergency supplies. If the AI announces you're killing someone in the cargo bay, get rid of the evidence and insist the AI is lying. As little as people trust you, they're far more used to the AI being corrupted.

Traitor Quartermaster

As a traitor QM, an emag is basically required. For one, if you emag the QM console, it unlocks a Special Ops Supplies crate that contains various other traitor items, including an agent card and EMP grenades (without the pouch), saving you some Syndicate funny money (if you can cough up the cash, of course). In addition, it allows you to break the cardlocks on all of the crates you can order & causes many of the items you can purchase (like robots) to go haywire, facilitating all sorts of dastardly deeds. For example, if you want to gut the station/ship, buy a bunch of Emergency Equipment crates, emag them so they start ripping up floors, and send 'em on their merry way.

Exactly how you spend the rest of your Syndicate currency is purely up to you. If you need people distracted while you do a few things, consider the voice changer and agent card combo. A stealth storage in the corner of your office makes for a great place to hide your incriminating toys until you're ready to go. If drone revolutions sound like your style, order some Robotics Crates and buy a box or two of EMP grenades from your uplink to send the bots insane en masse.

If you're concerned about getting spotted buying gear, you also may consider just holding off on spawning your gear at all until the second you need it.
