Character
Dr. Jackson
Dr. Jackson supplies the machines every trade depends on. His workshop is an after-hours stop on the map, and its possible stock runs past 60 entries, from purifiers and printers to Smuggler's Bay and the water trading guide.

Dealing with Dr. Jackson
| When | What happens |
|---|---|
| Every visit | Only part of the list is on the shelves. The game checks the day, what you own, your training and your investment, then rolls the rest. Modules are the biggest group. |
| Day 6 | A Furnace for free, the start of metal recycling. |
| From day 14 | The Toolbox goes on sale. Store tools in it and press 1 to 9 to equip them. |
| Hotfix 1.0.0.2 | His markup on Normal fell from 25% to 15%. Reputation discounts come on top, so read the actual offer. |
Worth knowing
- Jackson Investment I (400 Credits) and II (650 Credits) are arranged through Joe Wild and keep modules permanently in stock.
- On Thin Margins his stock costs 50% more, so price machines before choosing that difficulty.
- At −80 Lower Levels standing (Shunned) he stops visiting except in special circumstances, and every supplier hangs up on you.
- Carry your purchases out: anything left on his floor is collected by his assistant, and the game asks you to confirm before leaving.
