## What is the *planšetė*?

The gang tablet is an item you carry in your inventory and open via chat command. It's an in-character "encrypted device" that gangs use to manage everything: members, territory, ranks, treasury, market, raids.

**You need a tablet to:**
- Create a gang
- Manage a gang
- Browse the black market
- Place sprays
- Buy gang upgrades
- Track territory rep / heat
- View gang chat history

## Getting a tablet

| Action | Cost | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Buy from tablet seller NPC | **$3,500** | The configured `Config.PurchasePed` NPC location (ask in chat) |
| Receive from a gang leader | varies | Some gangs gift tablets to new recruits |
| Admin grant | free | Admins can `/giveitem <id> gangtablet 1` for testing |

The item ID is `gangtablet`. It's stackable: no, single-instance: yes.

## Opening the tablet

In chat, type:

```
/gangtablet
```

Or use the inventory hotbar slot if you've placed the tablet there.

**Admins can open without owning the item** — `Config.OpenWithoutTabletForAdmins = true` by default.

## Tips

- **The tablet persists across deaths** — you can't lose it by dying. But if you drop it in the world (right-click → drop), someone else can pick it up
- **Multiple gang members can have the tablet open simultaneously** — they see live updates
- **The tablet doesn't show enemy gang's internal info** — only zone overlays and public chat
- **Close the tablet with ESC or the X button** in the top-right
- **The tablet works in vehicles** — open it while a passenger, not while driving
