Dr. Jackson's buying budget +100 and more modules, nodes and storage expansion kits in his stock. For selling expensive items to him or getting modules to upgrade machines.
On routes that upgrade machines with modules
What it does
Raises Dr. Jackson's buying budget and expands his stock of equipment and modules.
Rating
Expands Dr. Jackson's equipment and module access and adds 100 to his base buying budget. The unlock is weak without a specific item to obtain or sale that the extra budget enables; new stock is not all guaranteed.
A narrow use, a high price or a nightly fee usually makes fixing your current business the better spend. Buy it only for a specific plan.
When stock is piling upA larger buying budget can help sell an accepted expensive item to Dr. Jackson, but do not fund production modules merely to build a larger unsold pile.
When production falls shortPrioritize a module only if it resolves the actual constraint. More inventory choices do not supply missing feed, raw material or operating cash automatically.
