Thoughts, Feedback, Ideas

[Paul]

Really loving the game so far. Had a few ideas for things that might improve it:

- ability to filter products by effect, ingredients etc., it'd be nice to see everything I can make with, for example, a banana as long as I've unlocked the recipes

- third person camera for on foot. some kind of basic first person camera for driving - I found it difficult to see where I'm going when driving my van. general camera and control improvements for driving would be great as it feels a little squirrely at the moment

- a way to place a radio or sound system in your properties and/or vehicle which plays some of the in-game music you hear around the map (I love that Still D.R.E style track you hear)

- ability to sell or part exchange old equipment, furniture etc.

- I think rather than hiring a helper to clean the trash just getting something like a Roomba for a one-off cost would be cool.

-there doesn't seem to be any reason to clean other than visual clutter, perhaps provide an incentive by having trash near your production/product for too long negatively impacting the quality?

- there really needs to be some way (either through hiring couriers, dead drops or something) of having product delivered to dealers and having money delivered to you (or your laundering businesses) after a certain point of advancement - I'm fine with delivering and collecting at first but I think we should be able to pick and choose where we want to focus. I mean, most people probably hire a botanist because they don't like the farming weed, and then they do all the other things - personally I'm the other way around, I like growing and experimenting with recipes in my barn and having ingredients delivered is great, but I get tired of packing, distributing, and collecting profits.

- other products: mushrooms, crack etc.

- ability to change player name
- ability to change company name during play (I've thought of some better ones while playing, but it's already set at the start)

- I haven't got far enough to see how we interact with rival gangs or similar, but I'm far more interested in conflict with rivals than with the police to be honest. I've seen some people suggest police raids, but I think it depends how it is handled - police are fine and a needed obstacle but I don't want to feel like in some games where all they do is stop your flow or prevent you from having fun, cool, and immersive scenarios

Will probably think of more, but that's all for now :)

Few more:

- A device similar to the sprinkler and soil distributor but which acts as a hopper for seeds instead, it drops the seed without the mess of the seed container (like the soil distributor) and also tamps the soil (eliminating the need to push the little soil pieces manually each time)

- ability to change name of mixes retroactively at any time. I didn't even realise naming them yourself was possible at first so just accepted all the default names, now I wish I could go back and edit the names without starting over!

- perhaps dynamic weather to go with the day/night cycle?

- motorbikes and pedal bikes
- an ability to peak/lean stealthily around corners (Q or E keys I guess?) so you can check if the cops are there without being seen
- might be good if rather than certain properties coming with or without delivery bays make the delivery bay a purchasable item that can be placed?
- I think the barn mezzanine should be converted into a full length loft, there's a lot of wasted space up there which could be used. Also more room out front to move vehicles (just remove a few trees), maybe even add a garage on the side with a door to the main area?
- the ability to sleep on the couch in the gang market warehouse
- perhaps a later game unlock-able feature to allow access to the gang market warehouse during the daytime? Or another similar location elsewhere that is a daytime venue?
- bank loans and/or loan sharks

I too want to hire someone who will transport my drugs to my dealers and collect their cash. To me its the most boring part of the game having to run all over town to each of them to restock and collect from them every day and it wastes the whole day.

I would like to be able to pay 25k per property to add a trash for cash machine on my property, the the cleaner uses and collects the cash.

Fanny (2 slots/ belt slot.) And backpack (4 slots).

I too wish I could go to the pawn shop and sell old/unwanted stuff.

I also wish that as you experiment you learn what the market items do. So that you can figure out how to make the complete blends these people want. I have like 200 weed strains and none are perfect for any of them. Honestly so much it's hurting my head.

- a way of making in-game notes/post-its to remind ourselves of things we need to do

- an in-game calculator might not be a bad idea, even as a phone app, I keep using my real-life one :D

- I feel like numerical limits on things need an upgrade across the board, on the one end things like item stacks (only 20 for baggies is way too low) and it is difficult to get enough mixers on larger operations even with multiple van deliveries (e.g: I need 480 energy drink and 480 paracetamol for my current setup and it is hard to get hold of that much). Something like boxes containing multiple 20 stacks could work?
The other end of things, I think the money laundering operations should start at $5k limit for the Laundromat, $10k for the Post Office, $25k for the Car Wash, and $50k for the Taco Ticklers, either that or allow some kind of purchasable upgrade package for each property to bump the numbers up from where they are now - upgrade laundering equipment?

-as per my previous suggestion on a seed dispenser, I think each of the basic procedures for each drug should have something like this where you have to do the tasks manually at first, but can buy equipment to streamline the process - this adds a stepping stone of player operated streamlining before hiring employees for full automation and allows you to 'buy your way out' of the slower parts of the processes once the tedium sets in (for meth and cocaine this could be simply upgraded ovens and stations).

Please give us the ability to buy a safe to transfer cash between players. Had to give someone cash to launder and it literally gave us RSI transferring 1k 8x at a time through a storage.

Also, agreed on the larger item quantities, or more inventory slots. Maybe more hires so they can collect/deliver to dealers, launder cash, etc.

I read on the roadmap that rival gangs and gang wars are planned to some degree - assuming this means an expansion of the weapon roster I was mulling over a few possible additions:

- Tec 9 SMG
- Mac 10/11 SMG
- Sawn Off Double Barrel Shotgun
- Pump Action Shotgun
- Uzi SMG
- AK47
