Gathering Materials
Inventions and serums are the bread and butter of a scientist. They require a variety of materials, ranging from metals and crystals to elements and plants. Start collecting these early on. Open starter seed packets to cultivate plants, dig around your workplace for minerals, and don’t hesitate to ask colleagues for materials. Remember, having a good relationship with them can make these requests more successful.
Achieving Breakthroughs
Breakthroughs are key to developing new inventions and serums. Engage in activities like analyzing metals and crystals, experimenting on the chemical analyzer, and even everyday actions like showering or reading. Each breakthrough unlocks the potential to create something new, keeping your career progression exciting.
Excelling in Daily Tasks
Daily tasks are directly tied to your work performance and, by extension, your promotions. These tasks can range from interacting with co-workers to creating new inventions or serums. Successfully completing these tasks not only improves your performance but also increases your pay. Remember, the more you engage in your work, the faster you’ll climb the career ladder.
Utilizing Inventions
As you progress, you’ll invent various gadgets that can be used to, lightly put, “influence” your co-workers. This can be an enjoyable, albeit mischievous, part of your day. From freezing them in place to changing their emotions, these inventions can spice up the workplace and sometimes even help you in your quest for promotions.
Managing Resources
One of the perks of advancing in your career is the ability to delegate tasks to co-workers. This not only helps you gather materials more efficiently but also allows you to focus on more critical tasks. Be mindful, though, as not all co-workers are equally reliable.
Adapting to Challenges
The Scientist Career is filled with unexpected events and tasks. One day you might be asked to explore space, and the next, to host an alien party. Staying flexible and ready to tackle these random tasks is key to enjoying your career to the fullest.
Mastering Your Craft
As you approach the zenith of your career, remember to continuously upgrade your inventions for new features and efficiencies. Also, consider extending your workday if needed to complete all tasks and secure that performance boost.
