About Otto#
Otto Bush, 65, runs the co-op in Latch. A former dispatcher, he still keeps an evacuation roster and feels responsible for every loss. His age and physical capabilities keep him from helping defend the compound; he keeps people supplied through the co-op but wishes he could do more.
Birthday: Autumn 8.
Location and shop#
The co-op counter is reachable from the front; right-clicking Otto or the counter opens conversation, and “Browse the shelves” opens the shop.
Walk south through the farm gate, enter the co-op and speak to Otto at the counter. Choose “Browse the shelves.” The world pauses while browsing; Escape/X returns to the shop interior. The prototype co-op remains open at all hours.
Conversations and friendship#
Right-click a nearby resident to speak; choose responses with the mouse or keyboard focus/Enter. Escape closes conversation. Time and tool actions pause during dialogue.
Speaking grants one friendship point per day, not per click. Labels change from new acquaintance to familiar face (5) to friend (15); no decay or compulsory social chores.
Gifts#
Select an item in the hotbar, speak and choose “Give 1 [item]” to gift exactly one selected item.
Seeds, tools and placeables cannot be gifted; a missing/unavailable item is not a Neutral gift.
Both caps apply per resident: one gift per day and two per calendar week, including neutral, disliked and hated gifts. Weeks are days 1–7, 8–14 and so on; the Journal shows two usage checkboxes and the reset day. Exactly one selected item is consumed. Friendship clamps to 0–100; Neutral consumes the gift and daily and weekly allowances but changes friendship by zero.
Quality and birthdays do not multiply points in this pass. There is no automatic friendship decay.
