Consequences level: Paramount. (It's basically a main quest level decision.)
Currently existing Republic remains in charge. (No. There will be more than just a pat. It's a main quest either way.)
If you don't do he questline. She is essentially just another member of the household
If you do..
You topple the Republic, it's getting replaced with a new and how that functions depends how you built up Aria.
The New Republic depends heavily on what stats you set her on the throne with.
YES. Raise her stats.
Important to note.
Corruption high = It will be largely the same Republic.
Corruption low = Liberation/Democracy/EndOfSlavery
Mostly remains.
No. All depends how much you support her (whether you do her quest or not) and those required stats because those will effect how well she'll be able to govern the new republic. (Again. Cannot overstate the importance of corruption stat.)
Woah! Thanks for the detailed reply and I get you're trying not to give it all away .
One more question though, if I do support her. Will I lose access to Kymanto? Should I purchase all the other slaves before hand otherwise lose access to them kind of thing?
Also, for the Mastersphere, you said largely the same. Again same question, and I guess that question can be extended to in general. Is there anything I should do before starting the rebellion that I can't do after the rebellion is started/done?
No. BUT.. in case if i'm wrong, you just make a save before joining Aria's rebellion and check Kymanto after joining. If i was wrong, you just reload. Quick and easy. I don't remember losing ability to buy those slaves.
One thing i'd definitely do. Acquire the Helms before locking yourself out of Kymanto. I don't know if they are doable after because you need Kymanto connection to acquire Lovisa&Tori's parents.

No. From the point of joining it takes a long-ass time before you'll actually raid the Sphere and until that point you can freely visit and buy whatever you want. In fact, you will have to.
In fact i usually visit the Sphere the first time during the mandatory visit due to the rebellion
One suggestion to GD-studios and anyone else involved in development of this great game. Would it be possible to add a button to the save screen to delete all saves (many html games have this). I save regularly and deleting each save individually on my clunky laptop using a touch pad is my only real frustration with this game.
How should I set up the workshop when I just bought it and I'm broke lol? Just started playing this and it's awesome but a tad overwhelming with all the systems at play. I read the workshop entry on the wiki but it didn't really help much.
Do pistols they're a higher ratio and lower capital cost. Legit once you get two workshops running you'll realize the slave trade is for suckers, you can grab 100k like it's nothing.

So as mentioned in other posts you set it to the second thing (Manufacturing I believe) to accumulate Production Points. Since production points are the limiting factor I believe you should base your crafting decisions on that. I did a quick spreadsheet to help me with this decision making and here's what I came up with.
So based on that you'd think just craft knives until the cows come home, right? Not so much, at some point (I believe when you have over 5k knives in the market), the sell price drops from 96 to 80 and it alters your decision making matrix. Rifles become the best choice per production point. And if you're willing to lose the day, you can trek on over to Hamah Bay and sell to the market there for a guarantee that Rifles are the best.
If anyone is curious here are the materials costs I was using the make these decisions. I always head on over to Aimee's to get my materials. A few bucks cheaper, but makes a big difference in bulk :
I feel people really overestimate how fast Aria can raise Liberty. Granted, my Aria is at 33 corruption, not <9, but most of my Liberty gains are from me pushing for pro-Liberty in the Senate. Currently, I am at Liberty 49, since I switched to lowering city corruption.
No. The twin's parents were added after the Rebellion was in the game and I still got them. Aaron Kreuger was past the Rebellion update too. Still got him.
The only things you can miss out by doing the Rebellion is the rewards in the Kymanto path. Current plans give each path unique NPCs that are locked out from you currently without cheats. Whether that changes in the future, I do not know.
Uniques for each path:
Rebellion: Philip, Ohio, Eve, Iona, you get two unowned miniguns, Aria can gain the trait Warrior of Ikaanos.
Kymanto: Kansas, Av51 (next patch), you get one unowned minigun as the other is permanently equipped to Kansas, Aria can gain the trait The Swallow, the MC can gain the trait Harem Lord.
As far as I am aware, Clea is available for both paths; once you agree to help Aria, the event for Clea's recruitment will trigger, but you can still sell Aria after. Someone will have to confirm that for me though.
Arizona should be available to both paths, one as loot, the other as bride.
Is there a way to restore the orgy scenes? there was one modded version I think but that was for an older version and just adding the pictures does nothing, or well I did that wrong.

Very very slowly and it's mostly RNG really but i prefer to tell that she does makes a push with low corruption. Although to be very honest i'm not quite sure this "push" has that many events.

And while I first thought the time value mattered as a consideration, it looks like there really is no penalty to storing accumulated points. In the cases that Hamah is inaccessible (early/mid game wont be able to defeat pirate blockage), the plasma guns will win out with a 5.21 profit per prod point. Of course, that's not accounting for the finite supply of tech points.
Sidenote; imo vanilla is a WAY WORSE trait for npcs in the house to have than feminist. At least the latter can help over 60 corrup. Though I do wish the game had more nuance to some of these traits - seems too sleighted towards your typical incel power fantasy "control the bitches and make em do what you want". If that sounds harsh - consider...if someone like Epstein's confidante Ghislaine maxwell was an npc in the game, what would her stats/traits be? She helps recruit others in the house, and HELPS the goals of the corruptor mc. Yet she definitely wouldn't be low willpower, and also not malevolent. That archetype seems lacking here, you'd think a game loop focused on coercion and corruption of a large household would have much more of that.

Yeah in my spreadsheet I only added the items from the first page so I wasn't looking at the coilguns, plasma rifles, or power katanas etc... And for those you have to consider the power cores. I don't even know where to get those, I think you can craft them, but I haven't unlocked it yet. So if the only way to get them is to craft them, then I can't see the time investment being worth it overall.
That being said, Combat Knives are still king at 6.1 $/PP (assuming, as you did, that you don't have access to Hamah Bay) until you hit the 5k market cap and the sell price drops. This feels like a good design choice to me, allows newer users to dip their toes into the system and make a decent profit, but you hit the cap quickly so need to vary your production to remain profitable. It also forces variety, as the market eventually does regulate itself and returns to a sub 5k supply, which means you can go back to making knives, until you hit that cap again.
Personally where I'm at in the game I usually wait until I have at least 18k PP and craft up 200 Rifles and make the trek to Hamah Bay, coming back with a cool 150k feels like it's worth the day's travel time to get there and back.

Yeah sounds like knives still make sense at low volumes, but 5k comes up real fast. Power cores can be bought at the medical center in emerald city for 900 a pop, that's in my mat cost.
Real design oversight to have Caitlyn's quest not progress if she's already been freed, now I gotta tinker with variables if that guy's earlier post is true.

Yep it definitely does, but getting to 5k gives you a really solid financial base to work from and invest in other things. Thus why I felt like it was a good design decision to do it that way. It would be boring if Combat Knives were always the only "correct" choice. Having the "correct" choice change based on circumstances and selling point adds an interesting layer to the decision making process.
there's a finite amount of "secrets", once you've played Gestapo on enough peoples, it just stop being an option, and is removed from all other npc that may have had the "secretive" trait at that moment.
