Choose one station job
The official description says every activity can be played solo. This route follows Cee-Eye-Why at Tuff: a cooking shift followed by a clothing task. You do not need a second player to split these steps.
Once Cee-Eye-Why is available in your Classifieds, follow its Tuff destination and speak to stationmaster Irina in the lower room with tables and wall art. Keep this job active until its final completion banner. The route begins with an existing ship and unlocked travel; it does not establish when every new save receives the job.
An optional repair can stay small
A lamp post beside the lower ramp shows Zips 11/3: eleven held and three required. Hold the displayed charge input. The next frame shows +175 Gratitude. This is a separate station improvement, not a cooking objective or a universal reward for every lamp.
If you do not have the required resources, continue with the job instead of adding a gathering expedition. Spills nearby likewise show an Equip Mop prompt; use the mop workshop route if that tool is still broken.
Learn the recipe and cook three portions
Finish the first conversation with Irina, then use the red Kitchenette against the wall near the dining tables. Select the Chili recipe marked Learnable. Once learned, the Chili entry shows Cookable when its materials are available.
The first menu holds nine Pepper, nine Tomatoes and six Ready-to-eat. Three successive crafts raise Chili Owned from 0 to 3 and use those ingredients. The task then shows Cook the chili recipe 3/3 and Deliver the chili to locals 0/3. Use the requirement number on the right of each material pair; the larger left number is the amount held.
| Material | For one Chili | For three portions |
|---|---|---|
| Pepper | 3 | 9 |
| Tomatoes | 3 | 9 |
| Ready-to-eat | 2 | 6 |
Deliver food before returning to Irina
The recorded recipients are Valentin at the wall console, Moira at the nearby desk, and Faris beside the framed art. Talk to each and choose the food handoff when offered. The Food choice is visible in Valentin’s conversation; this is the job delivery, not a claim that all personal gifts use the same menu.
Finish each exchange and check the task counter. It reaches 2/3 after the Valentin and Moira exchanges, then 3/3 after Faris. The next instruction is Relay feedback to Irina. Return to her downstairs; do not leave the station merely because the three meals are gone.
Finish the second phase at Basil’s vanity
After the feedback conversation, the job changes to Make yourself some new gloves and directs you to Basil. Go upstairs to the area with ring-lit mirrors and the tall green chamber. Speak to Basil before using the Vanity with the circular mirrors.
Select the Insulated gloves pattern marked Learnable, then craft Insulated gloves. The recipe requires one Rubber and three Textile ends. The recorded menu changes from Rubber 1/1 and Textile ends 12/3 to Rubber 0/1 and Textile ends 9/3, with Insulated gloves Owned 1. These are clothing; the recipe does not demonstrate a gathering-tool upgrade.
The nearby Somaform chamber lets the player choose a glove style, but the task checklist shown after crafting asks Talk to Basil. Return to Basil and finish that conversation. The recording then displays Job completed: Cee-Eye-Why. Do not treat appearance editing as an additional confirmed completion requirement.
Use the completion as your stopping point
The complete loop is cook, deliver, report, craft, and report again. The final banner supplies a clear stopping point for a solo session. If a material or destination is unavailable in your save, leave that specific step pending rather than starting several unrelated jobs.
For the next session, choose between a new Classifieds destination and one ship furnishing task. The map and departure guide covers travel, and the Decorator guide covers placing an item from inventory or cargo. These are optional next goals, not additional stages of Cee-Eye-Why.
