Overview
Do you want to be completely hated by hatter(not doing quest for dmc tracker), and loved by the Junk market bois. This Guide details the lucrative trade that is tannin tea brewing in the DMC(EXTREMELY WIP)(AKA please dont hate bomb this five ways to west virginia because “uncompleted garbage guide ree”.)
step one: the DMC
as soon as you spawn, loot the cyro facility, loot the surrounding tiles then bolt to the dmc like theres a horde of melonheads after you. an ideal place to settle down and call your home base should be near the junk market, a water source, and a forest (being close to last chance canteen is recomended but not a priority). Your base should contain: supplies, things you dont need/arent using, a lean to.tarp shelter, a communal fire barrel thingy, and should not be build outside of the tent city for this plan to be easy to execute.
Step two: Owning the means of production
Once you have settled down and your home is established, gather as many bottles as you can. Next, Go to a river and fill them. Finally, go to a forest and spam resource gather untill you have roughly as many small twigs and bark as you have water. Once you are home, make sure you have a tin can, pot or similar item. After you gather these things you can craft the tea with: the bark, water, tin can, communal fire barrel thingy, and the “botany” skill. if you have the moves left, spam it. If you are out of moves, wait a turn. After you wait a turn, spam it again untill you run out of supplies.
Step three: Sell the haul
Now that you have crafted a ton of tea, Make sure you have a container, vehicle, or backpack to carry the loot. After you load the loot, take it to the junk market and select “empty out” on the bottles so you can reuse them. each full bottle should net around 20-25 credits. Keep spamming this untill you collect at least 100 credits
Step four: not starving
If you have followed the steps listen before you should have about 100 credits, go to the last chance canteen and get food. continue to spam after getting food untill you get tired or hungry/thirsty again (thirst should not be an issue if you dedicate a bottle or two for personal use). Once you are thirsty/hungry/tired again, eat, drink, or sleep. Rinse and repeat untill you get around 3000 credits (getting the hacking skill and hacking on the side can net huge profits but can also waste a lot of time).
Step five: Profit
If you followed all the steps and have not died yet, you should have enough money to buy a DMC pass from the junk market. You now have access to the DMC and all without ever speaking to hatter at all. have some pierogis and pat yourself on the back because you succeded in making a boat load of cash in the span of a week or two (in game time)
