Quick question

[Zet395]

Could someone explain what the benefits of packaging stuff in bottles is? Having gotten to the point when we're finally producing a lot, it became more appealing, but I was always unsure how it works.

As an example, if someone ordered 4 pieces of something, but you had 5 a bottle, wouldn't that just be a waste? Waste might not be an accurate word to use when you can produce so quickly for some things, but even still, I would like to get some answers, or advice. Whatever works, because I am curious.

I guess it's good if you wanna move a lot of products all at once, or give bottles to dealers, but i believe dealers need some inventory space to break down bottles into smaller quantities so disregard the second.

COUNTER THEIR OFFER AND PRESS THE + SIGN TO COUNTER FOR 5 GRAMS AND SELL IT AT A FAIR PRICE CALLING IT A "GOOD DEAL"

So only give them one stack at a time, or am I misunderstanding that last comment?

Personally i prefer just giving them all bags, before i gave them jars but at some point some of them stopped selling. You could try that, but also keep in mind that comment is purely speculative, i'm judging seeing a few threads here and personal experience. Might try giving lots of bottles to one of my dealers and see if it works or happens again

Strange. So far, we haven't had any problems with bottles, and we've been making more money than before, so we didn't think there were any issues. Their may not even be any. I guess we'll experiment a little more.

5 nugs in one jar = 5x the price of what one baggie gets ya. If I am out doing my own deliveries I will carry bottles around and a few baggies to satisfy the people who want more than 5 but I wont sell less than 3 if that makes sense, makes no sense to carry around 20X baggies of one thing when I can get a stack of jars and just sell them, I send my poorer customers who want to get a few Gs to my dealers but then I limit how many baggies they get too, so they dont cut off my sales too much with their 20% and even then giving them too high quality of a weed in my jars will impact that too but as long as I can make it back in night sales its all good. ya know what Im sayin g?

In that case i'm happy for you, i'm just starting to mass produce my beloved fruity smegma so i'll be giving jars to my dealers soon enough!

Wow a true businessman. Congratulations

Yeah. Truthfully, I am just gathering information to see if it's truly worth. I'm usually not the one doing the deliveries, and I'm usually mass producing stuff, so I'm getting the info for friends.

Bottles are also good later on in game if you make a lot of something to always have some available to sell for putting on a storage shelf.
You can unpack bottles then put the stuff in bags if needed later on.

lol. Yeah. The funny thing is, we didn't even know that you could unpack things until just before we moved into the barn. I am unsure if the game actually teaches you that you can do that or not, but if it did, I completely missed it.

I prefer jars simply because it's easier to move large amounts of product:

Jars:
5(20) = 100
100(8) = 800

Bags:
1(20) = 20
20(8) = 160

Plus, dealers should break down jars into bags automatically (so you can swipe a few off of them from time to time if needed) provided you leave at least one open slot on the dealer per type of jarred product.

That's just my preference though, since I usually tend to focus more on the production side of things and only go out to deal every now and then when production and mixing starts to get a bit tedious. When dealing manually (not through dealers, in other words), I prefer bags because they're easier to deal with on an individual client basis in my opinion.

This is helpful info. I didn't even know they'd bother with bigger jars and bags at this point, but I guess I was silly for thinking that. I will be sure to let my friends know those things.
