About

Food and drink customer

A tourist who first tells you about wanting to try the station's food, then comes back later to buy. The first visit only arranges the return; there is no trade on that visit.

Priority by specialization

  • Apprentice

    Priority
    AUseful in the right situation
    Why it matters
    As Apprentice, the scheduled food sale is a useful cash opportunity if you already hold varied stock, but buying solely for it ties up working capital.

  • Water Merchant

    Priority
    BOrdinary response is enough
    Why it matters
    As Water Merchant, he is a one-off food-and-drink customer rather than a main buyer for bottled water; only reserve stock he actually accepts.

  • Hydroponic Farmer

    Priority
    AUseful in the right situation
    Why it matters
    As Hydroponic Farmer, his scheduled return accepts food and drink with a variety preference and a base budget of 750; reserve different saleable products rather than one repeated item.

  • Rat Wrangler

    Why it matters
    As Rat Wrangler, his scheduled return accepts food and drink with a variety preference and a base budget of 750; reserve different saleable products rather than one repeated item.

  • Aquafarmer

    As Aquafarmer, his scheduled return accepts food and drink with a variety preference and a base budget of 750; reserve different saleable products rather than one repeated item.
SPrepare for this customer
A seller of goods that are hard to get elsewhere, equipment, a reward or an unlock the specialization's route depends on, a deadline or branch to decide in advance, or a danger of major loss such as game over, arrest or confiscation makes advance preparation worthwhile. A high priority does not mean every purchase or report is recommended.
AUseful in the right situation
A main buyer of your goods, a seller of some of your inputs, a side income, optional input, reputation opportunity or conditional risk matters when the matching stock, branch or cash need exists. Check the condition before reserving scarce money or goods.
BOrdinary response is enough
The specialization does not normally depend on this customer's goods or outcome. Serve an appropriate incidental trade when the visitor comes without planning the business around it; a low priority does not remove legal or safety consequences.

Events

Quick summary

  • Day 13→day 15The first visit is only a greeting. Two days later he returns to buy food and drink (budget 750)

    →stock many different kinds before then.

Visit 1 (Day 13)

When
On day 13. Skip Intro is not selected.
What happens
The tourist describes a food-buying plan and arranges a return visit.

Choices

Hear the introduction (no dialogue choice)

  • The tourist comes back to buy 2 days later.

Recommended response

This conversation only arranges the return, so there is no food sale to optimise yet. Use the two-day notice to reserve varied accepted food and drink instead of filling the counter with repeated copies.

Visit 2

When
2 days after the first visit. Earliest possible day: 15.
What happens
The tourist now buys food and drink, with a variety preference.

Choices

Complete a trade

  • Buy or sell the goods listed for this visit, within the visitor's budget. What you pay or receive depends on the deal you agree on.

Let the visitor leave without a deal

  • This visit ends without a purchase. Later visits follow their own conditions.

Recommended response

Sell different accepted foods and drinks within the displayed budget; the base is 750 before bonuses, and he prefers variety. Dismissing simply loses this sale, so neither a forced purchase beforehand nor a particular conversation answer is required for an extra reward.
