Every fact about Jobs by game version, newest first.

VersionWhat we know
Planned
  • Plan: pre-generate jobs as players approach the board to hide the delay.
Dev build
  • Jobs are tiered and their rewards scale with tier, so ranch tier unlocks better jobs.
  • A job board at outposts lists jobs by enemy, location and reward; rewards include recipes, metal parts, eggs or money.
  • One job can be taken per in-game day; the board resets at sunrise, so finishing early allows another.
  • Zone-based jobs have a kill counter inside a marked zone, for example eliminating four Outlanders.
  • Job rewards arrive by mail, with a personal section and a company section.
  • A job can ask you to kill a set number of animals before morning, e.g. six animals.
  • Mini-quests, not MMO-style quests; one job rewarded a gloves recipe at Rattlesnake Junction.
  • Job rewards arrive by mail, such as from Doyle's Guns and Ammo.
  • Jobs are deliberately simple: go to a stronghold or area and kill animals or enemies; more job activities are wanted.
  • Jobs are meant as an option when idle, not an MMO-style quest system.
  • Outpost job board; jobs need the player to own a tent.
  • Light questing: roughly one job per day, each pointing to an area on the map.
  • Jobs reward gold and items for the company and bucks and items for each player.
  • Job that paid 24 bucks each and 72 gold to the company.
  • Jobs offer a choice of rewards such as two tool collars or a revolver recipe.
  • Offer daily objectives, often collecting pelts.
  • Jobs at outposts give rewards such as springs or metal parts; springs are needed to make guns.
  • Kept simple for now: mostly go to a stronghold or an area and kill animals or enemies; more ideas planned. Unconfirmed
Alpha 4
  • Jobs are tasks that can rarely reward higher-quality gear.
  • Generating jobs is costly, so the board is slow to show jobs when the server is under load.
March alpha
  • Refreshes each morning, signalled by a rooster crow, with three new jobs.
  • Each job lists its reward up front; rewards can include recipes the player has not learned yet.
  • Jobs give light direction and money; the game is meant to stay sandbox rather than quest-driven.
  • Strongholds on the way to a job get cleared along the route for recipes and gold.
  • A company has one shared active job; accepting it counts for every member.
