This guide is intended for the Temp Agency jobs in the first town (Dubstown). You'll get a choice of working in a tofu factory or a pork factory and the temp agency will take half of your earnings, which is why you want to make as much money in each factory as possible (our player character is unfortunate enough as it is).

The pork factory must be completed and you cannot leave the mini game at any time. The tofu factory lets you leave whenever you please, but to make the most money you should stay in the tofu factory until the machine runs out of tofu, just like with the pork factory.

All you really need for this process to be the most successful is to be good at multiplication and division or just whip out your calculator and punch in a few numbers.

This minigame was likely intentionally made to be tedious and somewhat boring (as factory work isn't the most glamourous job in real life either), so for a beginner this minigame may be especially frustrating.

To work the belt, walk up to the control pannel and go through with the following sequence:

Converyor Access > Dispense pork/soy beans > Converyor A > Pork/tofu cuber > Create pork/tofu cube

After selecting that option you'll get a random number usually in the range of 15-27. This seems to be randomized each time, giving us a variable to work with.

Continue the sequence as follows:

Coveryor B > Pork/tofu slicer

After this you'll be given a choice of making a certain product with a certain quantity of meat.

For either factory, to make the most out of your boring time there, you should stay until either the pork or tofu machine runs out of pork and/or tofu. The pork factory traps you until the task is complete, but the tofu factory gives you full permission to leave whenever. But despite the temptation to escape the tedious and repetetive mini game, to make the most money, stay there until you're done.

As soon as you finish talking with your boss in either factory, go up to the list to the left of the door. You'll see 3 kinds of products the facotyr makes and how much each product is going to make you in earnings. The list will look something along the lines of this (which we will use as our example for this guide):


Product 1 (5 lb.)..... 9 dollars
Product 2 (3 lb.)...... 7 dollars
Product 3 (1 lb)........ 3 dollars


Simple enough. Which ever factory you work at, the names of the products don't matter, just these numbers. The pounds of pork/tofu to make each product are our consistant numbers. The money you'll earn to make them however tend to change. This seems to change each day and either the pork or tofu factory will give out the most money, but switching back and fourth between the factories to make the most money might be tedious (and this minigame itself it already tedious enough). So let's say you're consistantly working in one factory or the other. We'll use this list as an example, but note that in the actual game, prices will change, going up and down depending on the day (just like meat prices in real life). Therefore you can't always get consistant pay regardless of which facotry you work in. In other words, you can bring home 100 dollars one day and bring home more or less the next...

For the sake of the guide, we'll stick to our table above.

As stated above in 'How to work the belt', when you cube the pork or tofu you'll get a random number ranging from 15 to 27.

The variables we have thus far is the number of product we get from cubing pork/tofu and the amount of money we'll recieve for making certain products. So here is the forumla we'll use:

money = total product / n * Product (1,2, or 3's) price

The amount of money we'll recieve will be dependent on the total product divided by a number multiplied by the amount of money we'll be paid for making a certain product (listed as 1, 2 or 3 above).

For instance, if I have 27 pounds of pork in the pork factory i would divide by 3, getting 9 and multiplying that (using our table above) by 7. 9 * 7 = 63. So by that logic, i'd get 63 dollars if i check the list by the door again.

On the other hand, you could just make whatever meat or tofu product is the most valuable... Let's try that using our table above as an example:

Product 1 requires 5 pounds of pork/tofu to make and will earn us 9 dollars. Our total product is 27 pounds. So: 27 divided by 5 equals 5.4 which multiplied by 9 gets us 48.6... Not very clean numbers. So let's round those numbers in our favor:

27 divided by 5 gives us 5.4. which we'll round down to 5. 5 multiplied by 9 gives us 45.
By then we'll have used up 25 pounds of prok/tofu, only leaving us with 2 pounds of pork/tofu left only giving us the option to make Product 3 (the one we'll get the least money for). Using this example we'll only get 3 dollars for making Product 3. Simple multiplication will mean we'll have only gotten 6 extra dollars giving us a total of 51 dollars...

So 63 > 51

Note that because the amount of money you'll get for making products 1, 2, or 3 will constantly change and the amount of meat or tofu you get from the cuber is also a variable.

Hopefully you have found this guide useful regardless and hopefully the explanation of my equations weren't too complicated or poorly written. Have fun ^^
