Do mixes matter?

[Yousef229]

I read somewhere that mixes don't matter as customers always buy to a specific budget
is this true?
as in if the customers budget is $500 then you can either sell 10 $50 products or 1 $500 dollar
Also does it matter what type of weed I'm growing at all if that's the case or can i stick to my OG Kush

Mixes matter in a couple ways. First income, a mix, with even a single addition can increase the value of a product. and while some customers do have a budget, they will generally buy for the base, unadjusted price of the mix +/- a few bucks, others will wildly over pay, i have had a few pay more than double for some. another place mixes matter is in later regions when trying to get new customers. Their quality standards and preferred effects will help you boost the chance that they become a customer.

I cant QUITE prove the theory yet, but it seems as if the addiction metric on customers has an effect on how much they will buy and how much they will pay for it. The best example i have of my theory are from 2 of the early customers, Geraldine and Ludwig. Geraldine will buy pretty much anything, and over pay for the product, usually in more than single items at a time, their addiction metric is at 100%. Ludwig however only ever seems to buy in single items, and buys at base list price +/- a few bucks, his addiction metric is sub 75%.

I get that it increases the value of the product but I'm wondering if it would increase profits overall
Cause if what I said was true (which I'm trying to figure out if it is) you'd still end up selling the same value of products and get roughly the same profits just at different amounts of products
Right now I've just moved into the barn and I'm selling the highest quality OG Kush and people are buying 6-12 at a time

I am not discrediting Echo because I agree with what he said 100%, just giving my experience. I do believe they have a budget they will stick to, some only have a budget for a couple and others want like 6-8 at a time and it gets crazy trying to fill them all when you just start. the mixes assist in increasing the cost of the buds but also they may increase the addictivness and they can start seeking you out personally instead of over the phone to ask for a fix and be careful at this point because they can attack you if they don't like the offer even with a 90% chance to be successful! also you can definitely stay with Kush in fact some mixes only vary by about $15ish. if you want to make a lot more money later though get into meth and the later ones. those can be the difference between getting $150 and above $300 per individual sale.

I stopped taking customers and just walk up and ask them lol if they have 75% or lower I sell em 1 jar of my mixed stuff, if it's over 80% I put in jars till it's about 75%, it sells for $85 each and my jars sell for $425 but if they are customers we sell em for $95/ea lol cuz thats listed price.

The mix is %100 addictive, and I make stupid money on my own just hawking it as I see them. We only make 1 strain, and I chose max addictive and price mix, as far as I know of currently.

However they seem to be willing to pretty much buy anything currently.

Higher quality isn't really needed unless you're getting new customers. it may increase the chance of success but I don't think i've ever seen anything substantial enough to say "yes it does" I only use fertilizer and thats it. Also take into consideration that you can buy people at the warehouse store and automate things to make mixing easier. or even the botanists to make growing easier. With the info you gave it sounds like you would rather sale Quantity over Quality (higher cost product). if that is how you want it do it. you could also experiment as well! you can always remove product for sale in the phone and never touch it again!

if you are using the best possible OG kush mix from the calculator site, the cost per single bud is about $31, and you can sell a single for upwards of $170. if you are using that mix the math works out heavily in your favor, even if it feels like you are spending a TON of money on the mixer items. with that particular mix, every single one you sell, is giving you the funds to mix up like 6 more. If you are doing full stacks, you make ~$3400 per stack. once you move into meth, a good single mixer is the horse semen, adds an extra 30ish to the base listing price. And once you are into Coke... dear lord, base sell price of 740ish with the optimal mix, we have just taken to giving it to dealers and reaping like 20k per day. the income from a just 2 days is enough to cap the deposit and having all 4 money laundering sites running 24 hours a day for the rest of the week, and feeding the briefcases of our workers constantly with cash to spare.

Oh okay, also I'm beginning to see a lot of people later on in the game stick to meth and leave the weed completely, is meth that much better and more profitable?

We make legendary or the orange star, it's pretty easy though. Fertilizer makes it purple, then send it off to a dry rack. It finishes in a decent amount of time that doesn't slow down the operation. However I can't say it effects much.

We did notice dealers have a very hard time selling red star, like they pretty much didn't sell it. However they sell quite easy bricks of weed that are gold star.

They don't matter.

And anything you do in this game doesn't matter. You can live as a hobbo and get as much "enjoyment"

At this point I just wanna make the most amount of money I can in this game as quick as I can lol so I'm looking into the best way I can do that
I've tried a few mixes and just thought they required too much effort even tho I have many workers , I'm just too lazy as I thought it doesn't matter towards profit XD

I use the same mixes for my Death Diesel and Shiny Express (this one is meth) my Death Diesel is worth $130 fair price and the meth is worth $249 I also increase the asking price by about $10-$15 and the meth sells quicker but is also harder to make so I still make both and give them to my dealers

Whoaw okay, I think I'll look into more mixes if thats the case

It's a busy work game, even if it doesn't matter. The O'Dea is to keep you busy lol
Think of it like any simulator game, most of which (all I have played) there is no bad Choice often in the games. Some are just much more profitable or otherwise.

Do you wanna sell coke for 150 bucks for 750 bucks? Mixing matters
