Newspaper Job
I'm at 60 points of study and I own a tie, but the only job that comes up is the newspaper job. I quit it, come back the next day, and it's just the paper job again. Times are hard, I guess.

Also, since it's so easy to accidentally stop selling papers and go back to begging (by going in a shop or checking backpack), have you considered making the action over a pedestrian say "sell paper" when you have the paper equipped? Right now it says "beg," no matter whether you're selling or just plain begging.

Update: so it turns out I can sell the newspaper from at least three days ago as "today's paper" and nobody gets upset. The only difference is that when it's expired like that, I have to go back into Inventory and reselect "newspaper" every time I successfully sell one.

Hi, yes, there are many improvements yet to make in the game, including an update of all the jobs and the busking system. :)

Granted, I know nothing about programming, but maybe any newspapers in the inventory could just turn into scrap when the night is over? That seems like a pretty simple (and realistic) fix.

A great suggestion, we shall make it so...
Ahh, I have a stack of 50 newspaper... more than 3 days old!

That aside, this is a great suggestion. But would really like to have the start/finish selling newspaper function fixed so we don't need to constantly go back to inventory to click on it after every sale. Maybe it's coz' I keep selling old news nobody wants.

Also agree with OP's suggestion of changing 'Beg' to 'Sell'. Since the whole point of getting a job is to not beg.

Hah, that's funny. I haven't played in a while and wasn't paying attention. I was going to suggest that as a feature since the game's getting a little more work, but it turns out that would have been silly.

Granted, I didn't have much chance in my current game as I'm running papers in an area where the recycling place is pretty distant (only just discovered it, I had thought there wasn't one I could reach in a day) so my scrap has been constantly full.

Ah I forgot to post here. We actually also did end up implementing the feature where you no longer have to keep opening the "selling issues" screen by clicking on the the daily issues item again every time you open/close the pause menu.

The incoming update will have some more slight changes to the scrap balancing, the dlc will add a lot of changes. :)

Keep it coming with the suggestions!
