PR Machine V

PR Machine V is the PR Machine at its last level, after an upgrade of 10 Carved Wood and 8 Engineering Details. Its new run takes 100 three-star Newspapers and raises your zombie limit by 80 for five weeks, the most the machine can give. Every run of the earlier levels is still there.

Notes

  • Only three-star newspapers count. At Book writing 8 every print at the Printing Press comes out at three stars, and a zombie with a Primer prints three-star ones every time (worked out from the game code). The upgrade recipes there also turn two-star newspapers into three-star ones with a three-star Story.
  • With the Good fellow perk this makes a limit of 90. Apart from a short-lived +5 during Gunter’s PR quest, nothing else raises it.
  • It ends just before a Gluttony day, at the end of the fifth Wrath day, so you can reload without a gap.
