Carry On Together item damage penalty works by subtracting the damage from the money still on the table and adding a contract penalty for anything destroyed, and since the time bonus is gone, only furniture that arrives in one piece pays.
Carry On Together item damage penalty: the rule
The economy runs on a simple line: job pay goes down with item damage, and destroyed items add a contract penalty. The end-of-job receipt has been simplified to match, and the separate time bonus has been removed entirely.
That last part changes how a job is worth playing. Running fast no longer pays, so a careful crew that takes the stairs slowly finishes with more money than a fast crew that loses a refrigerator on the way down. Time still matters, because it decides how much careful time you have.
Where the damage shows on the sheet
The task sheet tracks the cost live on every job. One house job shows Total Reward ¢19.614, Remaining ¢7.163 and Damage −3.097 subtracted from the money still on the table, and the HUD prints the same damage figure as a red badge next to the running purse.
A favourite piece that takes a hit is flagged on the sheet as well. The homeowner panel showed the Brown Piano as the favourite item already at 26% damaged on one job, so a scratch on the wrong piece costs you goodwill as well as money.
A destroyed piece is worth nothing
A destroyed piece still counts as a delivered slot on the sheet, so the delivered counter can look healthy even after a disaster. But its value is ¢0 and it is labelled Scrap, which means a broken item costs you twice: once for the value of the piece itself, and once more through the contract penalty.
The same applies to damage that does not destroy the piece. The percentage on the sheet is the percentage of the fee that goes with it, so a scuffed sofa still costs money. The most common way a piece is destroyed on the road is a load that shifts in the truck, which is covered in cargo flying out.
Damage to the house is a separate bill
Breaking a client's property adds its own charge on top of the furniture damage. With the new equipment in the demo, break one in a client's house and the repair bill is on you.
That bill comes out of the same budget as the contract, so a job where the crew smashes a door frame can end up costing more than the furniture is worth. Keeping the job tidy is worth more than the speed bonus used to be — and the client is watching the whole time, which is what the homeowner tips guide is about.
