Timers should stop at 4am

[Mikey]

Seems a little broken you can cook meth for hours after 4 am. Like weed, the timers should stop for all drug production.

Personally I think you should just faint after 4am wherever you stand. It would skip most of the exploits.

no that's a terrible idea

[A.K. Rowling]

No this is a terrible idea. Let people cook meth after 4 AM. It gives you incentive to graduate from the early weed stage. Some people cheese and exploit the game by only growing weed the entire time. You are supposed to progress through the different drug stages.

It is the only way solo players can get as much done as is needed for a day
and once you have automation up and running the workers stop working at 4am so there is no additional production happening until the next day (without doing it yourself) ..which is tough to do when you need to order delivery of mass quantity of restock to keep the process running the following day for your multi-facility operation... ordering and restocking the shelves for 3 fully operational "factories" takes a lot of time

in my opinion if the Dev took out the ability to work after 4am He would need to extend the daytime hours because if I had to try to get everything done in the short span that is currently the day cycle, I wouldnt play the game because it would be impossible to get things done solo, having to stand and tend machines, do packaging, do sales, tend to dealers needs, get product, restock shelves, give out samples, drop off money for laundering

I would actually like to see an increased police presence during the overnight hours.. much more patrols so if you did do selling in curfew hours, you would have to be very sneaky about it to earn that extra bonus, right now I can drive all around by Central Gas mart, to and from the Barn to The Docks with not one cop anywhere in sight, they all stand around Taco Ticklers , You want to increase the game difficulty .. make the cops more active and leave the "working after 4am" alone

Nah, Lemme continue my Fruity Sharts mass production scheme in peace.

I think it'd be better if we had a sort of sleep need meter that when it hit 4am we just passed out wherever we were. If outside, we have a chance to get arrested or robbed. The timer stop at 4am is way too exploitable imo.

No thanks i like to build at 4am

I would like an auto-sleep mod.
At 4am (4:20 am actually) it should warn all players that autosleep will occur shortly, and then 3 minutes real time (3 hours in game, so technically 7am) it should auto-save and auto-sleep everyone on the server.

Building/base management is def the one thing that makes me want 4am time to stick around lol. Everything else the pace of the day is fine but building, especially if you're converting a space from one drug to another, is very time consuming.

this makes no sense at all. why does this suggestion keep popping up? Why would you automatically fall asleep? What is the point? Why does the day even end at 4? It should keep cycling. maybe at 4 am it can tally up your sales and bump you to a new level but I'm really not even sure why there is a forced break like this.
There is already danger after 9pm until 5am so those are the hours you might get caught. Typically in the drug biz stoners want weed in the normal hours, tweakers want product in the dark hours, and coke heads want it whenever. Weed sales are safer yet net less profit.
meth is cheap and relatively easy to make or at least it used to be, so it nets a good profit but you deal with weird customers and nigh-time hours. Coke is the gold standard but it is expensive. IDK maybe I'm projecting too much realism but it would make for a good game mechanic. I would love to get into crack and heroin too.

[Mama Thiccythiccness]

it should be an option so the people who like t can keep playing as is and y'all are happy with it not letting u cook tbf if u feel its an exploit don't use it no one forces you to

[Slade Wilson]

4am is my jam time lol i sell to everyone at that time. go knocking on doors and sell my complete stock and then go make more. I launder money all 4am too. keep laundering, it doesn't stop. you can literally make so much coin once you open meth, just by staying awake at 4am. it's crazy. no police presence either except at the taco place. so you can pretty much run around and order dead drops and meetups all the time at 4am. oh and if you have the crackhead with the pot on his head, he will order all 4am long as long as you have stuff for sale. get that juicy sale bonus lol and then go knocking on doors. you can do this multiple times with no end. keep ordering deliveries all night long at the bungalow. they stack too. 4am is Crackhead Time!

My request is not about avoiding danger, it is about avoiding cheesing the game, because you can spend forever cooking while time is stopped.

Additionally, I specifically want this because I want to play a game of competitive dealing vs friends, and I would like to force time progression instead of waiting for everyone to sleep.

Yea no stress at 4am :)

Going to be real, game loses nothing with keeping the 4am thing as is. Taking it away may do more harm than good. Would be cool 2 have a setting to change it so its kinda like stardew valley, where u get knocked out at a certain hour if your not in your bed. I could see speed running in this game and having that as an option is certainly a thing if wanted by some people.
Edited a word.

to be 100% clear, I don't want to change the way it currently works by default, I just want a mod or built-in option to not stop time.
