World / NPC Helpers · checked 2026-08-13
Track characters, mission roles, and production-chain help without copying unsupported NPC stats.
Steam confirms that characters can be helped, befriended, and integrated into the production chain. Record each NPC by name, location, current mission, and the production step they change.

Use the name displayed in dialogue, objectives, or the achievement rather than a visual nickname.
Complete the active mission condition and return for the final dialogue or handoff.
Check gathering, processing, crafting, carrying, distribution, and unlock routes for the concrete effect.
Run the same batch before and after the NPC joins the chain so the effect is observable.
Failure branch
The mission may be incomplete or the character may unlock another route instead of automating a station. Recheck the final dialogue, objective state, and any newly available area or machine.
Completion signal
The entry is complete when the character's mission state and production-chain effect can be observed in the same save.
Start over
Return to the first condition that is not yet true instead of repeating the final action.
