The Last Caretaker Committees: All 10 Committees, the Humans Each Needs and How to Seat Them
The Last Caretaker has 10 committees in three tiers, and each needs four grown humans aged 18 or older, one of each listed profession. A committee starts working once all four seats are filled. Seats go to humans you have launched into space, through the Council of Humanity inside Lazarus Complex.
The committee list is cross-checked (B): the community wiki and a community listing labeled game 0.8.5 agree on every committee, tier and member. Single-source details are kept apart in the player reports box.
Committee Planner
Tick each profession you already have in space, aged 18 or older. The planner shows which committees are full and which humans each one still needs, with a link to plan that human.
0 of 10 committees full.
Humans still needed: 40
Tier 1 committees
Tier 2 committees
Tier 3 committees
Your ticks stay in the address bar, so you can bookmark or share the plan. Committee members are cross-checked (B): the wiki and a community listing labeled game 0.8.5 name the same four professions for every committee.

How to Assign Humans to a Committee
- Grow a human for each of the committee's four professions. The planner above links each one to its recipe.
- Wait until each of them is at least 18.
- Launch them into space from Exodus Station; the rocket needs fuel, covered in the fuel guide.
- Seat them through the Council terminals in the Council of Humanity. A committee starts working once all four seats are filled.
Update 03 added the Council of Humanity and its committee system. Humans you send into space can take Council seats and act through the Council terminals.
