QUICK ANSWER

Start by understanding your stock, costs and customer requests. Use the focused water, Eleanor and waste pages when those systems become relevant.

What kind of game is it?

Probably Stolen is a cyberpunk shopkeeping simulation from Questing Goose Studio, published by tinyBuild. The official overview describes trading, crafting, faction relationships and rising rent aboard a space station.

Give each purchase a purpose

Our suggested opening habit is to note what you bought, what you expect to do with it and which cost is due next. This is a planning method, not a tested opening strategy or a claim about optimal purchases.

Read the item, then the request

Before confirming a transaction, compare the customer’s request with the item you are offering. When something goes wrong, write down the exact message. That makes a focused question easier to investigate than restarting on the assumption that the whole run is broken.

Use the right guide

Water questions belong on the purifier page. Eleanor’s page contains story spoilers. The waste page explains a reported disposal method and labels its evidence as a player report. These pages cover different questions rather than promising a universal money route.

Check the date on advice

The game has received changes after launch. A guide can be accurate for an older version and still fail to describe your current run. We link sources and state which claims have not been independently tested.
