If you are looking for a Scare Your Neighbor Base guide, treat the Base as the center of the whole progression loop—not just a safe place to store loot. You bring stolen Packages home, let Minions process them into Items, then decide what to equip, keep, sell, and upgrade. The package loop guide explains how to secure that delivery, while the best early habit is to reinvest each payout into the part of the loop that is slowing you down.
What the Base does
The Base connects four stages that should be repeated in order:
- Return with a Package. Scare a
Neighbor, take the Package, and escape back to your Base. - Place it for processing. Put the Package in an available storage position. Multiple Packages can be placed, but the maximum capacity is not confirmed by the supplied evidence.
- Let Minions process it. Minions, including robot-style helpers shown in the available footage, break Packages automatically. Upgrading them makes the processing step faster, although a complete level and price table is not documented.
- Handle the resulting Item. Open the completed Package, then equip a stronger Item, keep a collection entry, or sell an unwanted duplicate.
That makes the practical loop steal → return → process → open → equip or sell → reinvest. If you are spending most of your time waiting, the processing step is the likely bottleneck. If you cannot escape a Neighbor, improve Speed; if you cannot scare the target, improve Scare or use a better route.
Bring Packages back to the Base for processing
This moment supports the Base loop by showing a stolen Package returned to the Base and left for Minions to process.
Manage Packages and Minions
Use the Base in a way that keeps processing active while you prepare the next theft.
| Base stage | What to do | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Package storage | Place each stolen Package in an available Base position | Keeps the theft-to-income loop moving; exact capacity is not documented |
| Minion processing | Leave Packages for Minions to break | Faster processing reduces the wait before you can open the Package |
| Package opening | Open the completed Package and inspect the Item | Reveals whether the result is worth equipping, keeping, or selling |
Do not treat a displayed capacity, price, or processing duration from another guide as a permanent rule. The local evidence confirms the functions of Packages and Minions, but not a full capacity limit, upgrade-cost progression, maximum level, or fixed timer. Use the current in-game panel for those mutable values.
Choose what to do with Items
After a Package opens, compare the result with what you already have instead of automatically replacing your equipped Item. Use the Items guide for the keep, equip, and sell decision.
- Equip it when it is the better available income option or fits your current progression.
- Keep it when it fills an
Indexentry or is useful as a collection result. - Sell it when it is a low-value or unwanted duplicate and it will not replace a better equipped Item or a needed collection entry.
This distinction matters because “equip the best” and “sell Items” are separate Base actions. A duplicate can still be useful for the Index, while a new-looking Item is not automatically better. The supplied footage shows example Items with different displayed values, including a result producing five Money per second, but it does not establish a complete value list or a universal income formula.
Open Packages and manage Base Items
This moment supports the Item-management advice by showing Packages opened, stronger Items equipped, and lower-value Items sold for Money.
Collect Money and reinvest it
Items in the Base continue producing Money, which you return to collect. Use each payout to improve the next limiting step rather than buying upgrades in a fixed order:
| Current problem | Useful direction | Practical effect |
|---|---|---|
| Neighbors escape before you return | Speed or Speed Auras | Improves movement and helps carry Packages home |
| Your Scare level is too low | Scare Trainers or Costumes | Helps you challenge stronger Neighbors |
| Packages wait too long at the Base | Minions | Improves Package processing speed |
| You have low-value Items taking space or attention | Item review and selling | Converts unwanted duplicates into Money for the next upgrade |
Speed and Scare work together: Speed helps with the escape, while Scare determines which Neighbors you can challenge. Their requirements affect access to higher-level Neighborhoods, so Base income supports progression but does not replace those attribute requirements.
A safe Base routine
Use this order whenever you return from a successful theft:
- Place the Package immediately so a Minion can begin processing it.
- Check whether another Package is ready; opening several together is fine when the Base has processed them.
- Compare each Item with your equipped result and the
Indexbefore selling anything. - Collect available Money from the Items in your Base.
- Buy the upgrade that fixes your current bottleneck, then leave for the next Neighbor.
If your Base is full, do not assume which Package position is best: the exact storage rules are not documented. If a payment does not match what you expected, trust the current in-game display over a copied value because collection timing, Item values, and offline behavior are not verified here.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Base only for storage?
No. It stores Packages, processes them through Minions, holds Items, produces Money, and provides the place to manage equipment and upgrades.
Can Minions process multiple Packages?
The available footage shows multiple Packages placed at the Base and Minions processing them. It does not establish the exact number that can be stored or processed at once.
How much Money does an Item make?
Item values vary. A video example displays an Item producing five Money per second, but the supplied evidence does not provide a complete value table or prove that every Item follows the same rate.
Is Base income available while offline?
That is not documented in the supplied evidence. Check the live game after leaving and returning before relying on an offline-income strategy.
