TL;DR More Furniture = Lower Quotas

Version 65 of the game added a new secret "luck" mechanic to add incentive to buying Furniture from the terminal store. However most players don't seem to know about this hidden mechanic which is why this guide exists.

Essentially if you purchase furniture before your current quota ends, your next Quota's goal (and all future quotas) will be lowered. There's some math involved, but having furniture in your ship increases your "luck" stat which limits how much the game will randomly add to your quota. It's not by an astronomical amount, but every credit counts.

It's also worth noting that different furniture has different luck values. A good rule of thumb is that the more stupid and "useless" an item is the more luck is gained. All furniture increases luck except the Signal Translator which lowers luck.

Below is a table of furniture items and their luck:

[Furniture]----------------------[Luck Value]
[Cozy Lights]------------------[0.005]
[Television]--------------------[0.02]
[Toilet]--------------------------[0.01]
[Shower]-----------------------[0.015]
[Record Player]--------------[0.005]
[ Table ]--------------------------[0.004]
[Romantic Table]-------------[0.005]
[Signal Translator]-----------[-0.012]
[Loud horn]--------------------[0.0025]
[Inverse Teleporter]----------[0.004]
[Jack O'Lantern]--------------[0.012]
[Welcome mat]----------------[0.003]
[Goldfish]-----------------------[0.006]
[Plushie pajama man]---------[0.003]
[Disco Ball]-----------------------[0.06]

Quota randomness is calculated using decibels so while the numbers may seem low, all items have an effect.
