๐ก Tips & Strategy
Power Management
Always check your hideout's Power (Watts) before adding lab equipment. Running over capacity causes power outages that stop production.
Visibility Control
Keep Visibility low by using Window Shutters (−2 each) and avoiding unnecessary lab equipment. High visibility triggers police raids.
Security Priority
Install Large Door Locks (+15 Security) first — they give the biggest security boost for the cost. Window Shutters (+1 Security, −2 Visibility) are also excellent value.
Storage Expansion
Marcus' Work Station is the best value at only $100 — it adds +15,000 substance storage plus +10 Security. Complete the quest early.
