#### 📖 Player Guide: How to Build Your Empire

Welcome to the underground. Here is your step-by-step guide to starting your illegal empire.

#### Phase 1: Getting the Equipment

1. Find the local Black Market dealer hidden in the city.
2. Purchase your starter kit: A Production Table, Portable Generator, Glassware, Gas Cylinder, Carbon Filter, and raw chemicals.
3. *Pro Tip:* Always buy Dry Ice to prevent lab explosions!

#### Phase 2: Renting Your Lab

1. Open your Nokia Tablet from your inventory.
2. Navigate to the Real Estate app and rent a Tier 1 location.
3. Go to the location on your map. Walking through the door teleports you into your private, secure lab instance.

#### Phase 3: Setting Up the Workspace

1. Place your Production Table on the ground.
2. Using the interaction eye (`qb-target`), attach your equipment to the table in order: *Connect Generator ➔ Attach Gas Cylinder ➔ Place Glassware ➔ Mount Carbon Filter.*
3. Warning: Always wear Lab Gloves and a Gas Mask! Cooking without a filter or mask will result in toxic poisoning.

#### Phase 4: The Cook & Mini-Games

1. Add your raw materials to begin synthesis.
2. Heat & Pressure: Use \[W]/\[S] to control Heat and \[A]/\[D] to control Pressure. Keep both in the green zone.
   * *Emergency:* If the heat spikes, use Dry Ice from your inventory to instantly cool the table down.
   * *Speed:* Adding Lithium speeds up the cook but makes the mini-game much harder.
3. Precision Scale: Once cooked, a scale will appear. Hit \[SPACE] when the needle is perfectly centered to package the pure product.

#### Phase 5: Cutting & Waste Management

* Cutting: You can combine your pure product with Baking Soda to double your quantity, but this drops the quality to "Low". Perfect for street sales.
* Waste: Cooking leaves toxic waste on the table. You must collect it in an empty Waste Barrel and seal it. Dump the sealed barrels in the ocean or trade them on the Dark Web.

#### Phase 6: Selling & The Dark Web

* Street Sales: Approach NPCs and use target to sell directly. Builds Street Reputation.
* Contracts: Open your Nokia Tablet to accept bulk delivery orders from Cartel bosses.
* Network Ops: Pay $500 to post anonymous wholesale listings on the Dark Web for other players to buy.
