Business & Economy Framework
Scale passive earnings without breaking immersion—or the ledger.
In this guide
Design sustainable businesses, track ledgers through the portal, and keep your crew funded while staying lore-friendly.
Map your business to the portal ledger so payouts stay transparent.
Blend passive income with event-driven story beats that invite other crews.
Use the roadmap to request upgrades without breaking balance.
Design a business that feeds the economy loop
Start with a player problem. Does the city need late-night food, vehicle customization, or security? Build your business pitch around solving that gap in-character.
Outline how your crew hires, fires, and promotes. Staff read for structure—it proves you’ll run the business without constant admin babysitting.
Wire earnings into the portal ledger
Submit your splits through the portal ledger every week. Transparency fast-tracks upgrade approvals and keeps disputes from reaching staff.
Use tags for each revenue stream (front-of-house, illicit, events). It lets you show growth trends when you request new inventory or permissions.
Plan story beats that reinvest profits
Schedule events that invite other crews—pop-ups, track days, security contracts. When you make money, throw it back into the scene so staff see the business enriching the city.
Submit roadmap requests with data: revenue, crew involvement, community sentiment. The more proof you deliver, the faster approvals move.
