The 7-day plan until the Federal Raid
Every State lives for 7 days from its opening. Then the feds come. Here is city hall's plan for a week well lived.
The plan (good for solo too)
Days 1–2. First money: you research without a mask, do small heists, sell at the nearest Fence.
Day 3. Safety: a bank account (as a civilian) and money laundering.
Days 3–4. Plot: you get the title and rent a spot in a settlement with an owner.
Days 5–6. Production: workbenches and your first business, which also runs offline.
Day 7. Finale: you sell your stock and don't start any more construction.
What happens at the wipe
- The feds confiscate everything you have on the server: money (bank included), items, cars, plots.
- The confiscated value turns into years in prison. The community reports about 1 year per $500,000, with a cap per State.
- Prison years are Authority, the character's only "level".
- Authority unlocks tattoos (the Trust No One set, from the tattoo artist in prison) and new products in Larry's Tree.
What you keep: cosmetics, BCoin, your name and look, the tutorial, settings and prison years.
When does your wipe come? 7 days after your server opened. Every server has its own day. You can see the server number on the global map, top left.
Tip: You can surrender to the feds even earlier (global map → Prison). Then everything is confiscated on the spot.
Tip: Kefir said the 7-day length may change in the future.
