Player factions pick playerMaxPicks (2) jobs from the pool, including Scavenger, Hunter and Fisher. Each job is tied to a skill and earns XP in it.

Each faction has a board at its job station. It hands out contracts.

  • Vanilla boards keep vanillaBoardPerJob (3) open per job, player boards playerBoardPerJob (2).
  • Open contracts older than boardRefreshMin (45) get swapped.
  • A taken contract has takenMinutes (90) to finish. Turn it in within turnInRadius of any of your faction’s stations.
  • Vanilla factions pay vanillaRewardMult (1.5x), player factions playerRewardMult (1x).
  • Leaving a job means waiting leaveCooldownHours (24) before taking another.

The scoreboard shows each player’s faction and job.

These are PvP. They have their own limits:

  • The same victim can only be robbed or kidnapped once per victimCooldownMin (120).
  • A Raider takes robPercent (20%) of the bag. A Kidnapper can ask up to ransomCap (2500), and a captive goes free after kidnapMaxMinutes (20).
  • A Smuggler’s position leaks to other factions every smugglePingSeconds (120).

Mechanics repair, paint and tune cars at their yard (Jobs.Garage). They can send the owner a bill, up to maxBill (5000). Paints are worn and matte finishes that fit the world.

  • With huntingEnabled, animals spawn around players inside the hunting areas (Paleto forest, Chiliad, Raton Canyon, Tongva hills, Grand Senora east, Tataviam). Never in a safezone.
  • huntPerPlayer (3) around each player, huntMax (24) in the whole world, gone after 20 minutes.
  • Deer are common, mountain lions rare. Skin them for meat and leather.
  • Fishing spots are on the water. Stand in a fishing spot with a rod. Bait gets you bigger fish more often.

The hunting areas are also on the map.
