Quick start

New to Dirty Business? Follow this path from demo or Early Access day one.

  1. 1

    Install the free demo or Early Access build

    Start on Steam to learn controls without committing. Demo progress teaches production flow; EA unlocks the full criminal toolkit.

  2. 2

    Learn controls and the F8 unstuck key

    Read the controls overview and troubleshooting guide before your first long session — hotbar friction is the top community complaint.

  3. 3

    Set up weed production first

    Follow the beginner guide and grow weed tutorial to stabilize cash from the earliest demo levels.

  4. 4

    Master orders and elevator delivery

    Use the complete orders guide and order planner tool to batch deliveries efficiently.

  5. 5

    Expand into weapons, hires, and co-op

    When profitable, branch into weapon manufacturing, hiring workers, and co-op roles. Track EA roadmap for new systems.
