Balance Flags (Developer Values)

The balance flags are the developer-set base values the game reads for stamina, health, raids, client generation, employee wages, bills and more. This page lists every flag in the game's balance table with its stored value. Player-facing multipliers (see Cartel Settings & Difficulty Presets) are applied on top of these base values.

Reading this page. The flag names and developer notes in the game files are written in Polish; the "What it does" column is a literal translation. Where the developer left no note the entry says so. Units follow the notes (seconds, grams, bolivars, game units); where the tables do not say, no unit is given. A "test-mode" value exists for some flags and is presumably only used by developer test builds.

Stamina, weight & clothing

The player Blueprint's default stamina level is 100, but the time base of the stamina flags is not stored in the tables, so do not convert them into "seconds of sprinting". The developer note on the regeneration flag is a copy of the usage note, so its meaning is inferred from the flag name.

Flag	Value	Test-mode value	What it does
`STAMINA-USAGE-PLAYER`	2.8	0.5	Base stamina use per second.
`STAMINA-REGEN-PLAYER`	25	0.5	Base stamina regeneration. (The developer note in the data is a copy of the usage note.)

`WEIGHT-OVER-MAX`	65,000	—	Upper inventory-weight threshold (grams) at which the effect on movement is at its maximum.

`CLOTH-SPEED-MIN-MULTI`	0.7	—	Lowest movement-speed multiplier the clothing build can cause.

`STAMINA-USAGE-WATER`	2.8	—	Stamina use while swimming.

Employees & crew

Two flags carry a bodyguard wage (45,000 and 65,000). Both have the same developer label, but MUSCLE is the role token the rest of the game uses and BODYGUARD appears in no other table, so 65,000 is almost certainly the live wage.

`CREW-DAILY-FEE-MUSCLE`	65,000	—	Daily wage of a bodyguard (developer note). "Muscle" is the role token used across the game, so this is almost certainly the live wage.

Notes on unused or dev-only flags

Flags in the "Multiplayer, demo and developer" group (demo end level, test laundering machine, admin tools, save version) are not part of normal play. Influencer reputation events are switched off by REP-EVENTS-ENABLED = 0 in the current files.

Source: game DataTables (BalanceFlagsDatabase). Values are as stored in the current Steam build; bolivars are written with a leading B.
