Your role is what your choices say about you.

The street rewards players who can switch roles when the market changes.

## Producer Producers create supply. They buy SEEDS and EXPLOITS, then convert them into WEED and DIRT through timed production jobs. Good producers watch: * input costs in each district * active production timers * remaining carry capacity * Grow Power and Mining Power windows * whether their home district is safe enough to operate from Producer mindset: control the source before the market gets hungry. ## Trader Traders move product. They read district prices, buy low, travel, and sell where demand pays better. Good traders watch: * buy price versus sell price * travel costs * bust risk * raid exposure while carrying * which districts are connected by normal travel * when Fast Travel is worth the fee Trader mindset: margin is the game, but margin dies when you ignore risk. ## Raider Raiders hunt. They target players in the same district, pick a weapon strategy, and try to take product, USDC stake, and Respect. Good raiders watch: * target inventory * target protection * weapon matchups * Raid Tie Breaker tiers * their own carry capacity * retaliation risk Raider mindset: the best hit is the one your target thought was impossible. ## Boss Bosses are district-level power. The player with the highest Respect in a home district can become that district's boss and collect boss tax on market activity there. Boss mindset: Respect is not just status. It can become revenue. ## Hybrid Play The strongest players combine roles: * produce cheap inventory at home * trade into stronger markets * raid when rivals expose themselves * use upgrades to create timed advantage windows * build Respect to compete for boss status Pure specialists can win short bursts. Hybrid players survive longer.
