Securing the Law: The Ultimate Guide to Justice’s Gift Preferences in My Time at Sandrock

In the post-apocalyptic, sun-baked sprawl of My Time at Sandrock, keeping the peace isn’t just a job—it’s a lifestyle. And if you want to stay on the right side of the law (and unlock some stellar perks), making friends with Sandrock’s rugged, moustachioed sheriff, Justice, is an absolute must.

Gifting is the fastest way to warm up to the town’s chief lawman, but Justice isn’t easily swayed by junk or cheap trinkets. To win his heart and maximize your relationship points (RP), you need to know what makes this protector tick.

What Makes Justice Tick?

As head of the Civil Corps, Justice values three main things: physical conditioning, heavy-duty hardware, and surprising domestic comfort. He respects people who pull their weight, pack serious heat, and know how to maintain order.

Conversely, Justice has zero tolerance for trash, scrap metal, or anything dilapidated. Handing him a piece of plastic scrap or a broken toy is a surefire way to land yourself in the doghouse.

💖 Items Justice Loves (+12 to +19 Favor)

If you want to fast-track your way to a “BFF” status—which grants you sweet bonuses like a 20% store discount and an extra +5 Attack Points—focus your crafting efforts on these top-tier items:

1. Fitness Gear

Justice takes staying buff very seriously. Helping him maintain his physique is a guaranteed home run:

• Comfortable Chair (+19 RP)
• Arm Stretcher (+18 RP — Crafted with Metal Coils and Bronze Sticks)
• Barbell (+18 RP — Crafted with Steel Bars and Bronze Sticks)

2. Weapons & Firearms

Naturally, a lawman loves high-grade gear that packs a punch:

• Alloy / Titanium / Essential Heavy Swords & Shields (+15 to +16 RP)
• Vintage Assault Rifle (+16 RP)
• Vintage Pistol (+15 RP)
• Steel Greatsword (+15 RP)

3. Office & Home Comforts

While he looks like he sleeps under the stars, Justice secretly appreciates a well-furnished workspace:

• Working Desk (+15 RP)
• Golden Bell Pill (+14 RP)
• Office Chair (+14 RP)
• Iron Muscle Soup (+13 RP)
• Pro Gamer Chair (+12 RP)

👍 Safe Bets: Items Justice Likes (+5 to +10 Favor)

If you don’t have the materials to craft top-tier workout equipment or firearms, don’t sweat it. Justice is generally practical and appreciates local goods:

• Explorer Gear: Explorer Pants, Boots, and Vest (+9 to +10 RP)
• Precious Gems & Minerals: Diamonds (+9), Gold (+8), Rosestone (+7), and Opal (+7)
• Hearty Meals: Braised BBQ Ribs (+8), Beef Noodles (+7), and Fried Meat with Chili (+7)

❌ Items to Avoid (Dislikes & Hates)

Keep your inventory clear of anything that smells like trash or looks broken. Gifting these will cost you precious relationship points:

• Dislikes (-1 to -3 RP): All raw scrap materials (Copper, Iron, Wood, Stone scrap), Toy Soldiers, and Yakmel Dolls.
• Hates (-5 RP): Dregs, Food Scraps, Venom, Ripped Jeans, and Ruined Cloth/Paper/Glass.

Pro-Gifting Tips for Sandrock Builders

1. Beware of Diminishing Returns: Gifting the exact same item two days in a row will cause its point value to drop. Rotate between a Barbell, a Vintage Pistol, and a Working Desk to keep things fresh.
2. Double Down on Birthdays: Gifting Justice on his birthday multiplies the relationship gains significantly. Pro-tip: You can actually hand him two gifts on his birthday—one right after midnight and another after waking up in the morning!
3. Festival Multipliers: Festival days double the value of any gift given, making it the perfect time to drop a high-tier weapon or fitness tool into his hands.
