This is stressing me out LOL

[KOSOTA]

Okay, I have right now two apartments, one is producing amphetamine, the other is producing cannabis.

I have 6 kitchen stoves for example... each stove is using 2,500W

So 2,500 W x 6 = 15,000W

Then 2 driers x 50W = 100W

Then 5 cannabis racks x 150 = 750W

There is at least over 15,000 W

Now HOW do I know how much money I will pay for this energy consumption? From making drugs you also produce waste, so additional money.

Problem is, there is no info panel which is saying... you are using "X" amount of electricity... then "X" amount of waste on this apartment... then "X" amount on this apartment. There is no information, and right now I DON'T KNOW if I'm actually losing or earning money. I have 5 dealers, I have 1 distributor.. they are taking their own money too.

Another question RELATED to this.. let's say I finished using the stove, it is not producing anything... does the stove still uses energy and it goes to the bill??? Or it only uses the electricity and it goes to the bill while it's active? How it calculates? As there is no info absolutely on this, it's very risky and kinda stressful for me, as I like to track all the information and make it organised and neat.

Cheers, so far I´m having fun!

I have four dealers all over Callejon, I don't bother with the other islands now unless it's a special request and I do that manually. I have one distributor overseeing my dealers operations. Everything is pretty much automated now, all I have to do is get supplies, make the product and my distributor takes care of the rest.

So why type this "advice" when you are not even remotely trying to expand? My 1 day operation gives around 2.5mil and it's ridiculous to think having everything being made in 1 hideout. If it fits you sure go ahead, but once you get raided you will change it up for sure.

Where did I say I wasn't trying to expand? There's literally no point expanding when I can't even continue with the main story because one of the missions is bugged. The second I unlock cocaine production, I'm expanding as soon as I can. All I'm doing right now is accumulating enough money to do that. And you don't get raided if you're smart about it.

How many dealers you have?

You really don't want two hideouts producing two different drugs. I have one apartment on Callejon (third island) that is producing weed (indica and sativa), Meth and Amp.

The apartment is only small jet I've managed to fit in two grow boxes, two outdoor plant pots, two industrial tables full of lab equipment needed to produce Amp and Meth, two metal lockers, four hybrid dryers, four dealer cabinets, a stove cooker, a distributor table, a boss desk, a lab technician table, a DIY table, a bed, a sapling box and a drying rack on a normal table. It takes up most of my space, but my entire operation runs out of that lab. And that's not including all of the storage containers I have for substance storage (I have 150,000kg of storage).

You're making it harder on yourself by having two labs, especially if you're focusing on Amp production since you'll constantly need to go back and forth to get Phen from the bunker. You'll be using more Phen than your production can keep up with. Trust me, save up enough money to buy the apartment on Callejon, sell whatever hideouts you have and build your lab using that apartment.

Because it's so central you can get around quite easily. Just make sure you buy a car from the mechanic so you can get around easier. There's a fuel depot on Callejon, so you'll never need to worry about fuel so long as you can afford it.

Hello, I Love the Idea of only have one Lab.
But I still need a Hideout in every Area to Set the Dealers or am I wrong?

If you want to progress the game as it was meant to, and don't run around to do things manually, you must have various hideouts, each hideout can have a maximum of one distributor which can work with 4 dealers. If you want to automate this, each island should have at least one hideout with their distributors and their dealers.

If you have only one hideout in the entire game, you are extremely limited, you can have dozens of clients, but you will be running around all day long to give each client their drugs.

I have already 4 hideouts and 4 distributors, and I don't have a single client message popping up. Also getting a million and I have just to refill my hideouts with drugs, then distributors and dealers do the rest.

Thank you very much

This game needs a lot more accessible information like daily finance reports, finance reports per hideout, employee information page, hideout information page. Before you enter a hideout for sale you should be able to see it's stats and it's area. Every time your rep goes up or down it should show the area that you are in. The map doesn't even label the areas when you open it up.

It's the 80's/90's. There's no GPS, there's maps, payphones and a mobile.

WTF you talking about. There were financial reports in the 80s. And the maps labelled the towns. There were real estate pages in news papers.

Guys. I'm not sure what you guys are talking about with 80's - 90's, this is directly from the steam page. Check game description. We're set in the 2000's.

Criminals aren't born – they are made.

Welcome to the early 2000s! You are Eddie, and a lifestyle of bad choices made you an outlaw seeking refuge. Don't worry tho, Isla Sombra is the perfect place for fugitives like you!

You're not planning to just surrender and stay there forever though. Prove your worth, use your talents and get your life back! Making a fortune along the way won't hurt either...
