I personally do things very slowly, often grinding up stats and skills over the course of in game months and only really starting to nab people as they become relevant, like grabbing people for the combat team once I start raising my combat relevant stats so I can train them at the same time.
What is your go to combat team? I'm coming back to the game after like a year away and a lot has changed lol. I'm not sure my old team of Bud, Old man Doyle, and whatever girl I'm trying to raise the respect stat of is best anymore
I imagine there's a pretty wide variation in how people handle this.
Personally, I usually have all of the uniques who are available immediately by the end of the first week. With the recent change to ammo pack and prosperity I don't pick up the top tiers anymore until much later though.
There is a ton of training to do for almost everyone so I like to get started on whatever passive training I can do immediately even if it means I'm operating at a pretty large deficit on a daily basis. I can make enough money capturing and selling slaves to make that up until my investments catch up to my salary and food costs.

1. I never touch procedurally generated girls. I only grab unique ones.
2. My first playthrough I grinded, and I was a noob. so I did things in weird order and it took me a while to get the unique girls.
2nd play-through I just cheated
What's the changes you mentioned? Ammo pack is still essential for plasma rifle and coil gun users. Ammo is expensive.
In the latest version, ammo pack is disabled at less than 10 prosperity. If you're playing on Dying World like I do that means basically no ammo pack for about the first 9 months of the game.
Yeah, ammo pack is essential for ranged combat, but ranged combat is still weak compared to melee.
For me I sell few slaves to keep a good income and use it to pay academy and other institute to grow stats and don't push quest line that's what I like from sandbox game you can do what you want in your time
.
My go to honestly tends to be highly variable depending on which characters roll what trait, favouring ones like warrior and brawler to build a melee squad is my default. I am a stingy bastard so I tend to just either rely on slaves or cheap mercs and then train them up to be combat ready, going for melee here works wonders as you can then ignore having to either get mercs with ammo pack or worry about logistics and a team of characters all with greatswords can overpower all the way through to late game content if need be. Like guns are good and as I understand recent updates have made them more viable but i did manage to complete Aria's questline with just my team of nutters with greatswords so when I have an option like that which works then I am going to take it.
My exact squad from my most recent run though was Aria, Loren, Aiko and the Black Scorpion.
This definitely isn't optimised or anything though, if you are going melee then I honestly think you can train most characters to be okay at it (same is true of ranged to be fair, I just hate having to buy/make ammo for characters without ammo pack.) so I don't really think optimal is necessary in this game unless you are trying to get to end game content fast.

In my opinion, it's essential to get people with long training as soon as possible. First on the line are DUDES that you capture with work alcoholic trait. Get 10 of those and let them cook towards 100 discipline while you work on your first workshop. Then during your first storm you go to Slave Market (make sure you have 2k influence) and buy your stormchild. They have a great roll for intelligence (i got mine at 130 INT) and you can still develop it up to 120 just by banging her. After you establish your workshop with stormchild foreman and 10 dudes with work alcoholism you are set to do w/e you want, money will flow.

Try 1776. It was brought up in the discord recently and that was the code that guy said worked for him.
I have not made a new account in a while now. I do have a six day old account save from months ago that I plan to use as starting account if I ever want to do over.
What I did was get the girls I like early on. So Lovisa, Laika, and especially Kelly, with a lot of conclude day rerolls to force her event. It is a challenge because all three are guaranteed Delicate which means sex will always be challenging at the start. I also get Aiko, another Delicate, because she has decent starting medicine stat. I assign her as Nurse and not give her any other job for the first few weeks or one-to-two months.
I also prepare my combat team. Einar Corso is usually locked until 50 days in since I never take expert backgrounds and he needs an MC with Expert Soldier start to be available at day 1. I do grab Ansel, Bud, and Jack. They will do well as janitors over my captured NPCs because janitors with despising affection will sabotage their jobs and captured male NPCs start at Despising. Bud will also get the first high tier ranged weapon I can grab, a coilgun or plasma rifle. My first goalpost is the Cultist Monk. He does not scale as hard since he cannot wear armor but he makes for an excellent early game fighter. The second goal is Truls Baardson. He will be my first real combat fighter and he has good starting medicine stat. I might even give him an allowance to speed up his affection to uninterested, from despising. Next is Aaron Kreuger from Kymanto Hall as soon as I can since his stats start so low and I would need him trained to bring him when the Terror of the Deep finally spawns in a hundred days or so. The goal after is Cassius Bauer, one of my end-game combatants, but it can take a bit, around day 25-30 or something. This guy can also be a nurse. All this time I am also gathering workaholic random captures.
I upgrade parts of my home to at least level 1. My bedroom so it won't screw over my stamina (it used to, but I think Grim relaxed it in the current public build). My bathroom so I can gain some HP and stamina from bathing. My walls and gate so my captain is not miserable and I can mitigate my despising NPCs escape chances. I upgrade the dorm once so it does not reduce Happiness for my NPC. The kitchen, the living room, the office, all minor low cost upgrades to prevent unhappiness and squalor. Then the first "big one", a gazebo which will then be upgraded to have a pool once so I can hold pool parties. Further upgrades just increase happiness gained and not affection so I delay further upgrades. I build it in the tiny grey square build slot in the right area because there's not much good buildings I can build there. I get gardens slowly. I hunt, I train in the dojo, I do bounties, and raise up my influence so I can enter Emerald City, hire Ayden because he will be a great captain and a great quatermaster right off the bat (quartermasters automatically repair non-HULC armors at certain Science stats and Ayden starts at 80 so he repairs even duraplate), hire Armand to get his training started, and get a loan from the Crystal Heights bank. With that money, I build a workshop. Although I usually go the more expensive route and build a workshop on the $40k build plot outside my house because I do not like having a workshop inside my house for aesthetics reasons. Once I have a workshop running and staffed, I am safe.
At the same time as all that, I am slowly grinding any stats I can. Furry's Tavern second round for the academics and science increase, the Velvet Room once I have enough influence so I can get started on the Touch of Adonis quest and also raise my bondage and flagellation with Kasey. I try to kill the charucks on Hamah Bay as soon as I can for the stat increases. I delay reading books and taking classes because those are all uncapped increases and doing them later when I have capped all repeatable stat increases means I min max having them as high as I can. Why? No reason. There's no inherent benefit to having 180 Science instead of say 130. I just like numbers go brrr.
I usually go for the unique girls at around day 100+, when I am already established and my stats can handle them much much easier. I would like to get certain girls much earlier than this though, but not as early as Kelly and Lovisa. Girls like Aria, Kate, Loren, the Stormchild, and Adrienne so I can begin their training early.

The workshop foreman bonus is maxed out at foreman with 80 intelligence. So no need to train foreman intelligence higher than that.
Also, I'm 99% sure that in current version of the game slaves are no longer allowed to be foremen.

This change was reverted in 0.8.3.4. Slaves can be foreman again.
For the Urchin's event is there any way to know what stage you are at? I gave them food and they never came back.

There are random urchin events you give food to during conclude day. These urchins come one at a time while the urchin chain event is always a group of three iirc until the last stage when her friends are caught.
ok so these are random urchins im getting. that's fair makes sense that they exist. I like these little events and hope there are more of them. I feautre I am hoping for in the future is more events/jobs for my slaves. I have room for them but many are not doing anything other than maid duty or janitorial work.
