Jobs and career progression are available in the current Early Access build, with work represented as a rabbit-hole system in the official development overview. Exact pay and promotion values should be read from the current game.
Treat a career as a recurring schedule that reshapes the household day. Prepare needs before departure, protect travel and recovery time, and align skill work with the information shown in the career interface.
Choose work that fits the household plan
Use the current job information to compare schedule and progression expectations, not a third-party wage ranking. A job that leaves time for children, a relationship story or building may be more useful than one selected only for apparent income.
Prepare before the work block
Check basic needs and stop a long optional activity before it risks a missed departure. Keep the route to the exit clear and avoid scheduling a distant town objective immediately before work. When a Parafolk returns, allow recovery before assigning another demanding sequence.
See this system in the current game
These official images are paired with the feature they demonstrate. Historical captures are explicitly labeled and are not used to claim an unchanged 2026 interface.
Follow visible progression requirements
Use the career panel and in-game prompts for current requirements. If a relevant skill or action is displayed, work on it in manageable sessions rather than assuming a fixed promotion formula. Patches may rebalance values, so this site deliberately provides no complete wage or promotion table.
Coordinate multiple workers
Stagger meals, bathroom access and household tasks when schedules overlap. A non-working household member can cover care or errands, but autonomy should still be observed rather than treated as guaranteed. Make a manual save before changing several jobs or moving the household around a new schedule.
