Manuscript bounty simple guide

How to do Manuscript bounty

  1. Check which manuscript is required at the cargo bounty console
  2. Find an empty manuscript book:
    → Library bookshelves(each) have 25% chance to spawn one
    → You can order a book crate, and it has one manuscript book.
  3. Touch the book with a pen, then a job selection window will pop up if you can write multiple jobs.
    Each job has a list of the jobs they can write as a manuscript - if the window doesn’t pop up, it means you will write your job to the manuscript directly.
    For example, Curator can write the manuscript of any job.
  4. Once you get a book, turn it into the cargo shuttle to sell it.
  5. You have 15 minutes of cooldown time to write another manuscript.
  6. Every completion will update a new manuscript bounty in 4 minutes.

Note: If your character is not literate, writing a manuscript is not possible. (i.e. Ashwalkers)

Tip to complete a manuscript

  1. Find a book anyways. You need to find an empty manuscript book.
  2. Check bounty console, and check crews to figure out who can write which.
    (Do whichever first from the two steps above that you think should be done first…)
  3. If a job is not onboard, check other jobs if they can replace.
    Heads are a kind of joker card, so if a head is on board, ask them to write a one if there’s no crew with such job.

This is huge, thanks!! Didn’t know just how many jobs could do additional manuscripts

I classified QM as a head in this system. They can write lower ranks of cargo.

Can the Head of Personnel write the manuscripts of Supply jobs? Genuinely curious, although my initial presumption is no.
