Rules for every start
Every start gets The Mentor's contract.
4 worn cassettes in the cassette player, except on Rock Bottom or with the Tapehead perk.
Fence, Rock Bottom, Gunsmith and Chemist always skip the intro. Skipping it gives the Mentor's Handbook and contacts at once.
Perk changes to Credits and rent add to the start's values.
Start reputation uses the difficulty's reputation multipliers. The values here are for Mark Up.
On the first run, picking any start but the Apprentice asks you to confirm.
Junker, Organ Dealer, Street Food Vendor are on the start screen as Work In Progress and cannot be started.
