KOTOVOD Worker #41: Deposits & Paid Ads to Boost Sales

Everyone knows that all cats coming to KOTOVOD have funds of unknown origin. Sometimes they're eager to spend a very limited amount of it, but the fact still stands: cats don't need to care about their income. Our engineers, however, need to keep track of it at all times: the money is required for maintaining the wellbeing of precious scientists, working tirelessly to push the feline science forward! Without their pay checks, they immediately get very tired and proceed into slumber.

Since KOTOVOD is functioning within the market economy, Dr. Katz commanded to issue more control to the engineers over the Factory's financial management. From now on, scientists are allowed to reserve certain amounts of money from turning into salaries, in order to accumulate funds for more strategic steps: such as, expanding the Dormitory for hiring more scientists.

The engineers can also use that money to attract more customers: thanks to the new type of Cat Gate, it is now possible to bring certain types of cats who would definitely appreciate your current selection of goods.

Needless to say, no extra funds will be used to increase the engineers' salaries, as they work on plain enthusiasm and their love towards cats.

Glory to science! Glory to KOTOVOD!
