Job listings menu at a trade portal

The Job Listings is an option on the trade portal that was introduced in version 1.7. Accessing the Job Listings requires Internet access.

Note: Timers used in a job function on real world times; they continue to progress even if the game is paused or shut down.

Usage

To access the Job Listings, tap a trade portal and when the blockhead reaches it the "Job Listings" button on the menu that appears. A new menu will appear. It scrolls vertically through five entries (referred to here as "tiers"), each describing what the job requires and provides.

Each tier presents one of several possible jobs appropriate to that tier. They are replaced on a regular basis, as indicated by a timer counting down at the bottom of the entry. If the current job offered in a tier is accepted or completed, no new job will appear for that tier until the replacement timer counts down.

A button labeled "Go!" appears in a job if the current blockhead can accept it. This requires the current blockhead to have the required materials immediately available in their inventory. Tapping the "Go!" button causes the current blockhead to disappear and the job to start. While working on the job, the blockhead's inventory and status cannot be accessed. Instead, the job status (blockhead name, reward, time remaining, and buttons for "Abort", "Free" time crystals if available, and "Use" time crystals to finish early) will appear over the hosting trade portal. Once the job is complete, the status window will display the message "Done!" and a "Finish" button which must be tapped to return the working blockhead at the trade portal, who will have the reward in their inventory and the required tool (if any) suffering from additional wear. Tools that have worn out during a job will disappear.

Notes

As the Job Listings allows a blockhead to receive resources that have not been found by exploration or mining, it effectively replaces the trade portal listings for those items due to being blocked in version 1.7 (the same version that introduced the Job Listings).

If a player switches to a different device using the same account, the current Job Listings should appear on both devices.
