Biggest leaks
Travel, loading, sell fails
Step by step
- 1Time three sessions of the same route with a stopwatch.
- 2Note every minute not earning: travel, loading screens, failed sales.
- 3Fix the largest leak first — e.g. a Kosatka Sparrow or Oppressor for travel, Invite Only for sales.
- 4Re-time the route to confirm the gain.
Common mistakes
- Optimizing small leaks first.
- Selling in public lobbies and losing loads to other players.
Section 01
The brief
Optimization starts with observation. Track where a route loses time before replacing the activity itself.
- Most lost income is travel time and idle cooldowns, not bad payouts
- Restocking and safe collection should happen on the way to something else
- One long session beats three fragmented ones
Section 02
Recommended route
Record launch delay, travel, objective time, sale time, and recovery across three normal sessions; change only the largest bottleneck.
- Open with restocks and safe pickups
- Launch the longest-cooldown activity first
- Fill gaps with short contracts near your current position
- Close with sales in an invite-only session
Section 03
What good looks like
The route improves without becoming fragile or exhausting to repeat.
- No dead minutes and no forgotten stock at logout
