What's the point of Sativa

[Sweetlake]

Hiya guys I'm enjoying the games (with the exception of a few bugs here and there, mostly the quests that are stuck in my log are annoying). I've just been wondering what the point is of Sativa as opposed to Indica? So far I've seen everyone ask for Marijuana, not necessarily one type. Will this change later on (I'm currently blowing at the blowing up 3 cars)? Or is it just an alternate you can give to clients for no benefit?

One grows indoors (higher power) and the other grows outdoors but they both satisfy sales for marijuana. Hopefully later they will combine the final product in storage so we don't have to add the two together to get a full picture of our MJ inventory. Hope that helps :)

Thanks, yeah that makes sense ig but I just don't understand why we unlock it so much later into the game, seems kinda pointless imo

Because you can grow more sativa than you can indica. If you buy a seedling box and plant sativa seeds inside it, you either get a female or male strain. A female sativa strain gives you something like 90 sativa plants, whereas the male sativa strain gives you 35 plants and 15 sativa seeds which can be then used to grow more sativa seedlings, effectively cutting out the need to buy seeds.

It's the same with indica plants. It's only worth using the growboxes to start with, but as soon as you can get a seedling box and two hydroponic racks you can grow either female or male strains. You get more female indica plants, but you get seeds from the male strain.

I think it's a balancing thing.

The hideout nearest to Llazo's place, probably the first purchasable hideout most players are going to find, has a yard for planter pots and outdoor dryers. If you had access to sativa, the seeding boxes and outdoor pots from the start, you would be making so much money overtime through the dealers and influencers that you probably won't even need to sell any of the other drugs.

It's pretty much an infinite loop, put seeds in seedling boxes to produce seedlings, plant males to produce more seeds, plant females to produce more flower. Seeds back in the seedling box to make more seedlings. You can do this with indica seeds too once you've unlocked the seedling boxes.

Then you just need to fill the cabin up with dryers if the outdoor dryers aren't enough.

You ever read the comic book, or seen the animated movies, Batman The Long Halloween? If so, remember the part where Batman and Harvey Dent are in a mob warehouse where they're storing huge packed stacks of money?

That is basically you, but replacing the money with weed. A warehouse full of vacuum sealed packages stacked up to the ceiling.

For a mid to late game thing that allows you to produce the cheapest product with spending little money, basically keeping your weed business around for pocket change, it's good since at that point you've probably moved on to mainly selling amp and are looking into getting started on meth being your main.

If it were an early game thing though, when it's so easy to produce, you don't have to buy seeds past the first time, it'd just be like, why bother with amp, meth, opium, coke, heroine, etc, if you're already making so much with weed?

It has been confirmed by devs in their discord that you dont make money with the influences anymore

Uh, yes you do, you make money overtime and it goes into your wealth, they don't give it to you directly like in the demo.

Can confirm this is true, the money is sent to your bank and you can track it because the weed slowly goes down from the influencers stock.
