The world ended, but the machines are still here. Find a broken desktop in an office, haul it back to base, and solder it back to life. Jeeve's Personal Computer turns a corner of your safehouse into a functional 90s-era workstation — arcade games, training courses for every non-physical Build 42 skill, a digital book library, skill recording that survives your death, data recovery, and PDA-driven hacking. All on craftable hardware with a three-tier upgrade path and a new IT Specialist profession.
[b]On the horizon:[/b] a Satellite Uplink peripheral that extends the PC beyond the safehouse walls — more to come.

Build Your Own PC
Every computer can be built from scratch. The crafting chain runs from lead extracted from bullets, through soldering tools and electronic components, to a working desktop on your workbench. Recipes are learned from the PC World magazine.
Place it on a flat surface, connect to power, sit down, and right-click or press V.

JEEVES OS 1.0

The Disks
Four disk families drive nearly every PC interaction. Training disks are standalone courses — 87 lessons across 29 skills in three tiers, with articles and quizzes. Library Disks hold scanned skill-book content, up to five tiers per skill. Personal Data Disks record your skills so a new character can recover your XP after death, cross-compatible with JeevesJournals. Corrupted and encrypted disks drop from zombies — run Data Recovery at a Stage 3 PC, but watch for viruses and negative traits.
[list]
[*] [b]Training Disks[/b] — 87 lessons, 29 skills, 3 tiers, fully translated EN/JP
[*] [b]Library Disks[/b] — scanned skill books, up to 5 tiers per skill, readable on any tier
[*] [b]Personal Data Disks[/b] — record skills, recover XP after death
[*] [b]Corrupted / Damaged / Encrypted Disks[/b] — loot-spawned recovery targets with virus risk
[/list]
[hr]
Sandbox Settings
81 configurable options covering disk spawn rates, training XP, skill caps, per-skill toggles, data recovery, virus mechanics, Book Scanner and Library behaviour, hacking, PDA, loot weights, and boredom/happiness multipliers.
Languages
English and Japanese. Set [b]language=JP[/b] in PZ options — covers all UI, sandbox settings, tooltips, all 87 training-disk lessons, and PDA app strings. Community contributions welcome.
Multiplayer & Compatibility
Fully multiplayer compatible — high scores, skill recording, data recovery, hacking, and all ModData are server-authoritative.
[b]JeevesIntegration[/b] is recommended but not required; it adds the V-key radial menu. Without it, right-click works standalone.
