Contractor Shop
Probably the easiest part of a contractor is the shop:
The header is just {{Header ContractorShop}} without any parameters
Description | ||
---|---|---|
This is a list of items available in the Contractor Shop for How To. These items can be built only on this contractor's station. Some of these items may be rewarded to players who complete certain contracts. Reward items that look identical to items in this contractor's Shop may have statistics that are different from the statistics shown here. Statistics for both versions appear on each item's article page.

Contract List
# | Objective | Reward | ||
---|---|---|---|---|

All contract lists start with the same code:
{| class="ts-table contract-list nowraplinks" ! scope="col" | # ! scope="col" | Objective ! scope="col" | Reward ! scope="col" | ! scope="col" | {{XP}}
Followed by the contracts:
|- id="1" ! scope="row" | 1 | Objective | Reward | Earned XP
Objectives
Objectives are the tasks to fulfill a contract.
There are 4 types of objectives, of which 3 have their own templates:
- Deliver - See Template page for info.
- Send - See Template page for info.
- Build - See Template page for info.
- Sell - No template.
Rewards
The rewards in a contract list use Template:Rli (Reward Link and Image)
See the template page for detailed info.
Add a second line in case the reward is an Extension, Theme, or a Reward Train Set (Christopher/Ling):
|[[Reward Link]] |[[File:Reward Image.png|75px|center|link=]] (leave link empty)
Earned XP
Enter the earned XP as {{fd|####}}, this template automaticaly transfers plain numbers into the correct format.
