Ozen, Scrap & Medicine
Resource pressure is deliberate: Marauders control currency flows, Scrap fuels repairs, and medicine is the primary answer to Plastemia spikes. Spend deliberately in Act 1 so Act 3 still has options.
Ozen
Story missions, favors, and Ocean Events keep the faucet on. If your Story-Link partner taxed Marketland, expect higher buy prices โ adjust by leaning on Reclaimer traders or completing local stabilization quests.
Scrap
Bank Scrap before crossing unstable bridges or committing to multi-step repairs. Salvage events are the fastest bulk source when they proc during navigation.
Medicine discipline
Treat symptoms early to keep dialogue checks open. The beginnerโs guide lists first-hour priorities; the faction guide explains which leaders gate emergency care.
