ANSWERS FOR YOUR FIRST SESSIONContainment Shift Company gameplay guide and player questions
Source factsHow many players can participate in a single shift?
You can play either solo or in a group of up to 10 players. The game supports online, LAN, and co-op play, allowing you to join ongoing shifts and coordinate with your team using proximity voice or radio channels.
Our guidanceWhat are the core responsibilities when managing supernatural creatures?
To maintain creature health and happiness, you must feed them, read stories, play with them, and clean their enclosures. Each creature has unique preferences and dislikes, so you must bring the correct supplies and complete specific care minigames.
Our guidanceHow does my performance affect the goods produced?
Your performance during creature care directly influences the quality of the goods manufactured from each batch. You should study reports and observe creature behavior to learn which care methods yield the best results for your production process.
Our guidanceHow do I move items through the facility?
All purchases, raw materials, and finished goods are handled as physical cargo. You must manually carry boxes, push trolleys, and ride the elevator to arrange your storage and equipment throughout the facility layout.
Our guidanceShould I sell my goods immediately or wait?
You must decide whether to sell your finished goods for immediate cash or hold your stock to wait for a better market price. Daily market prices fluctuate, so balancing your current budget against potential future earnings is essential.
Our guidanceWhat should I do if a creature breaks loose?
When an alarm sounds and a breach occurs, you can use cameras to monitor the situation and direct colleagues via the PA system. You may need to bring research equipment to the breach or rescue teammates who have gone down.
Our guidanceCan I customize the layout of my facility?
Yes, you can choose the original facility or use modular mode to unlock, connect, and confirm specific rooms. This allows you to plan the layout yourself and design the company facility according to your own strategic preferences.
Our guidanceWhat happens if my company account runs out of money?
You must carefully balance care, production, and safety against recurring company charges. If your account balance hits zero, it can trigger a much larger containment crisis, making financial management a critical part of your operational safety.
Source factsHow is progress saved in multiplayer sessions?
In multiplayer modes, which utilize LAN or direct IP connections, the host is responsible for saving the company progress. Ensure your host is prepared to manage the session data to maintain your team's ongoing work.
Source factsWhat types of connectivity are supported for multiplayer?
The game supports various multiplayer configurations, including online co-op and LAN co-op. You can coordinate with your team using proximity voice chat or a separate radio channel to manage shifts effectively across these connection types.
