This guide details how to recruit every crew member in Citizen Sleeper 2. Recruiting crew is crucial for completing contracts. While most recruitment is straightforward (accepting their offer), some involve successful contract completion or specific event outcomes. Note that crew members can be lost through bad luck or missed opportunities. Please comment if you find alternative recruitment methods!
Crew Member Recruitment Guide:
Serafin and Bliss: These two join automatically at the game's start. Serafin is generally unavailable for contracts. No achievements are tied to their recruitment.
Juni: Initially a temporary crew member on Hexport. Recruit her permanently by visiting Helion Gate after completing the "Idle Minds" clock at Solheim Records. Complete the subsequent contract and agree to let her rejoin. Recruiting Juni unlocks the "Data Archaeologist" achievement.
Yu-Jin: Found on Far Spindle after completing the "Getting Wracked" clock at Gaia’s Gyre (requires ordering a wrack four times, costing 16 Cryo). Complete his contract to permanently recruit him. Recruiting Yu-Jin unlocks the "The Freelancer" achievement.
Luis: Recruitable during the Aphelion Beacon contract by choosing to leave Yu-Jin behind. Recruiting Luis unlocks the "Signalchaser" achievement.
Kadet: Encountered on Far Spindle after completing the "Spindle Core" clock. This unlocks a new drive and Stripline Express. Complete the subsequent events, then travel to the Scatteryards to recruit Kadet. Recruiting Kadet unlocks the "The Spindlejack" achievement.
Femi & Nia: You can recruit only one. You meet Nia on Hexport and Femi on both Hexport and Floatsam. A contract concerning Nia's safety allows you to choose between them after completion. Recruiting Femi unlocks the "Big Brother" achievement; recruiting Nia unlocks the "Little Sister" achievement.
Flint: After your first visit to Olivera, a contract leads to investigating Flint's disappearance. A subsequent contract requires quick action to set a trap. Follow Xander to rescue Flint and successfully complete the contract to recruit him. Recruiting Flint unlocks the "Fugitive" achievement.
This completes the guide to recruiting every crew member in Citizen Sleeper 2.
