Yeah, that's kind of obvious in hindsight. In my defense it was around 2 AM where I live when I posted that comment. Thanks though.

Thanks for the offer, but I came to the conclusion that I don't really care that much. I only wanted her for completeness' sake in the first place.

I'm sure someone has a better one, but the best I've found so far is workshops. With two fully upgraded and staffed workshops and just by buying materials from the Redhaven market, you can make a $48000/day profit by manufacturing and selling .30-06 rifles. Crafting something else might be even more profitable, but I haven't really had the reason to do any deep research into it with my current income. I did notice that at least with combat knives and spears you'll quickly saturate the market and start getting diminishing returns.
That note appears when you attack the palace, but not when you move to attack the space station.

And how is that any different from just cheating to give Kate, Rebecca, Aria, or whoever your favorite is Ammo Pack, Crackshot, and Brawler? Can even change their status.
Is there any kind of timelimit, when you didn't take any quests? Because, I like to take my time to level up my chars. You could say I max out or over-level, just to one-shot the endboss (if that is possible). So I would probably take ingame weeks, months or even years, before I even leave the city or search out most of the NPCs.

Hmm. Not exactly time limit. You can miss one NPC if you bump into her on Marston and not beat and enslave her right then and there. She won't be there if you leave the map and come back later. So it's a one time only chance that appears after 30 days or so.
You can miss the stormchild simply by visting the slave market on a stormy day and not buying her, again, she won't be there the next time.
Several seemingly generic NPC raiders/bandits are actually unique ones so capture anyone you can. You will definitely miss Cassius if you don't capture him. If you are experienced player, this won't be an issue but if you are new or relatively new you definitely want Cassius in your party.
If you skip an end-day event to enslave an intruder, you will never get Kelly who comes with Crackshot and very good with science.
If you do anything about female urchins stealing your food constantly you will miss out on an npc. You have to let them steal, that is, ignore the report on them untill one seeks you out.
An advice. Try not to focus on a single character too hard or too long early on and focus on building up a strong fighting force of 4 followers because when the Terror pops up, you need to deal with it fast or else the Skyguard takes it out and you miss out a bonus. But it's a real beast and you will need a heavy hitting force in DuraPlate to have a chance. So balance between eco-houseupgrade-your'A'team. It's not actually hard because eco=fighting. Point is, don't neglect fighting.
You won't be one-shotting bosses, the game in this regard is more akin to MMO's. With a fully built and geared up team you just make it kinda easy if you bring 4 followers. You won't win alone.
Yes, the game takes years easily so that's not abnormal here. You WILL leave the city because some quests will take you out of it. There are no random encounters so it's not like you will be slaughtered if you step outside. You pick the fights. 1 exception exist, the game tells you about it.
Do NOT try to push the Prowler quest to it's completion early. The difficulty of the end fight is quite daunting compared to what you will be used to before it.
Don't worry, Aria 30 days just means you can't by her for 30 days. You can leave her there forever if you want.
The only real time limit beside the mandatory instant capture of aformentioned NPC at Marston is Dakota's birthday. Once you upgraded Amiee's shop and rescue Dakota, she will invite you to her birthday. That is of course time limited. Be there on her birthday. The journal will count it for you.
Another one which is easy to miss.. is an endgame NPC, you will only meet her after you install the 3rd Republic. One npc ask you for money and then leaves. The journal will tell that she is off to secure a deal. But that will change into "You have X days to find her or she'll be gone". If you miss this change in the journal, she'll be gone. You will have 15 days once the journal entry changes. It won't warn you about the change. You will have to notice it yourself that the entry changed.

I haven't noticed any time limits so far. IMO the game is no race, the player can take her/his/their time settling down and training. I have done usually more or less like you described you would like to do and never knowingly suffered penalties for dawdling.
Edit: After reading Ennoch's message above:
Yeah, there are some early appearing NPC:s. Some of them can be found later too, I've noticed, and those I have never captured I have not lost too much sleep over.

I am not understanding your point? If you don't know what the difference is, I feel like I am fighting an unarmed man in a battle of wits.
My method to make money is more or less the same. I have only one workshop (fully upgraded + i have a fusion reactor in my house to give it a bit more production) and according to my calculations i get about 40 000$/day profit from it by crafting .30-06 rifles and selling them at hamah bay. For resource aquisition i use Aimees store as you can get them slightly cheaper there after investing in her shop (doesn't make a massive difference). Knives are about as profitable as rifles and you don't have to travel to Hamah bay to sell them for a good profit, but once there are more than 5000 knives on the market in Redhaven the price drops making them less profitable. I decided against building a second workshop, as it would take another 7 high discipline and 1 high intelligence npc to run it and i think it might make me produce rifles faster than they deplete in the market in hamah bay, where i can sell them for 636$ per gun. But probably for the most money per day more workshops are the way to go at that point in the game.
I play on Grim Dark difficulty with a dying world setting and the world is mostly at 0 prosperity and low control. Maybe more prosperity slightly increases profit by making materials more affordable, but i am not sure if sell-prices of wepons might also be affected.
To get the money for my workshop i usually capture random bandits and sell them. Before that i usually go hunting and sell food when necessary to get some money + at night i craft knives to lvl smithing and also make a bit of a profit. This usually yields enough to nor go bankrupt while training combat skills in the dojo.
Surely there are other good ways to make money.
I theroized that maybe in super late game with enough Power Value Goldwalking might become quite profitable by marrying your slaves that are on goldwalking duty as according to the wiki if they are family 1/4 of your power value is added to their daily income, but you would need to have about 25k Power value to have them make $5k/day which is what a workshop worker makes under roughly ideal conditions.
I get an interesting twist in my current game. Playing with my fat ass, allergic to physical training, merchant/academic I have succeed with no big fuss in install Aria as a Chancellor. All fine and dandy, until the pesky Mordekainist try an armoured conter coup at Procom and the bird-brained Aria insist that she must come, disregarding the old saying that Chancellors and Generals fight form a bomb proof bunker with plenty of room for maps, phones and communication devices.
Long story short, in the first round of enemy fire, courtesy of two critical impacts in a row, Chancellor Aria get promoted to Queen Aria. Burger Queen Aria.
I saved the game, load from autosave and make a 2nd try and the thigs went as smooth as expected, dealing with the coup with zero problems.
Have been developed the story line (or there are plans to develop it in a near future) in what Chancellor Aria dies tragically in her first month of command ? Have anyone followed this path? It´s worth following it?
Currently I´m following the non burger Aria line, but I keep the save of Aria´s death, just in case.

I'm not there yet. Have only install my dumb dumb Aria for a month or two. Will keep playing for sure to see how it plays out.
I was definitely wondering if there would be a rouge-republic counter coup. So there is. It's an interesting thing to keep an eye out later on. Maybe in later development the 3rd repblic can actually crumble.
The problem is that we are obvious accomplices so if this would become a reality we should be toast. So i don't see this as a viable story arch.
There are chances to a story plot. Either with Ezra as a Chancellor (and by sheer luck I decide not to be an ass with him) or either with the MC taking the Chancellor role.
i dont try the method, but for me personally the reason are the inevitable capturable unique male slave (still a mistake) for example you cant gain access to the village without cleaning the black scorpion and that inevitably make you either capture the boss or not which may have some quest or new feature in the future or you completely missed it if you kill him, same with others like monk cultist which only appear during the prowling in the dark quest, in the end player likely capture them despite wanting harem of woman and waste such limited slot with lest feature other than combat due to them being limited edition. (not everyone know how to code them to respawn without messing something)
to eliminate cuck factor i guess, otherwise your daughter may end up scandinavian
for some reason, since i am sure reading dev roadmap that in the future the dev want to include some NTR feature by your slave, i mean mei backstory for example already show her cheating with other slave.

Isn't it exactly for that task our MC has read all those naughty books and learned even some occult tricks; to have those unparalleled manipulative skills?

You are way overthinking this. Race is tied to GirlID because certain girls have a look that is associated with a race. There's no NTR feature. You can cuck Gregory and Connor but that's it. No one can get an NPC pregnant except you. You can turn off all TotaLube and it still won't happen. Don't read Caitlin or Leia or Loren's backstory if them having sex bothers you so much. In fact, do not ask the backstory of any slave that's not Lovisa. Even Aisha has some stories and she's a virgin.to eliminate cuck factor i guess, otherwise your daughter may end up scandinavian

Does anyone know if Atheist NPCs with high devotion can benefit from the same willpower increase that you do? I'm fighting to keep NPC willpower above 0 in a lot of cases and would mass convert the entire household if true.
