Bungalow first, or straight to barn?

[Elegant Caveman]

I'm at the point where Uncle Nelson wants me to start making meth, though haven't started yet.

My weed business is doing well, made about 10k (from myself and two dealers) the previous day. ~25k in the bank, ~7k cash. I've bought the Laundromat, and it's a new week, so I could deposit my cash in the ATM.

I can afford to go straight for the Barn... any reason not to do this?

I would get the barn first if you can afford it. The amount of space you get is wonderful.

I don't like the barn. It is out of the way. I would get the bungalow, turn it into a production facility, and then go for the warehouse... or just save and get the warehouse.

You decide. I went barn and now on a new save, I went bungalow. Honestly, it's your playstyle. I wont go more than bungalow. It has the right feels.

Edit: Also, 8 pots are more than enough for endgame with the green leaf only. You make so much product that the game doesn't have enough people selling it for you. It's so unbalanced right now.

Do as you want.

But if you skip the bungalow, that means you'll likely be doing meth at the barn. Which is fine, plenty of room there.

But when you'll start producing cocaine, you won't be able to use the bungalow for a decent production, it requires too much space. So you'll end up moving your meth production or totally abandoning it.

But that's not the end of the world I guess, if you have no problem demolishing what took you a while to set up.

I guess I should probably just save and buy each to see what they look like...

Yeah, the space is why I'm thinking doing this.

Interesting... that bad?

I could keep the room above the chinese restaurant as storage, and move stuff from the barn. I just worry the bungalow is limited in space.

I intend to get them all, it's just a matter of which first.

I feel that getting the barn will allow for a sizeable weed production setup while giving me enough room to mess around with meth, but I worry the bungalow might be a bit small to do both.

I figure by the time I get to cocaine, I'd be getting the Warehouse.

If that's how you see things, then the order in which you buy them is as important as getting employees if you don't plan on paying them.

As I said. "Do as you want". I'm just telling you that for me, bungalow first made all the sense in the world.

Fair enough, thanks.

i've got the bungalow and it's all i use, i ended up removing the weed production for just pure meth production and the barn being so far away means ill probably skip it entirely i've already got 100k or so in cash just from the three dealers and myself selling what the chemist makes with 2 stations

Good to know, thanks.

Bungalow. It is perfect to start an automated production of whatever product you like.
Plus the Sweatshop with 1 Botanist who will give you the yield of another 8 plants very easily.

Yeah, was thinking of leaving my weed growing in the sweatshop, if I got the bungalow.

I'm really squeezed for space now, but if I just have it be a dedicated space, it'll be fine, and it's close to the bungalow.

The barn is more about doing everything in one place.

Well, about to get back to playing, time to go check out both places.

But from everything people have said in this thread, sounds like the bungalow will be enough for now, and I won't have to spend all my cash.

[Elegant Caveman]

So I had 25k in the bank and 8k cash.

Figured Bungalow + Post Office made more sense than going straight for the Barn.

Thanks for the help, everyone.

i got barn first... was a bad idea tbh... i suggest get bungalow as u can run 16 plants per cycle with all 5 staff auto processed to bricks... i use barn for meth as im mass producing it... then i use docks for cocaine as im super mass producing that and need all that space... with there was 1 more 10 staff building so i can automate mixing to 8 effects tho

getting a 8-mix automation running is the best thing you can do mid/late game. its fairly easy to set up with 2 handlers and 2 chemists. the mixing stations can output into the next one. and handlers can fill from a storage to the mixing station. :)

I go for the bung personally since its pretty good at the early drugs with about 2 additives and the space allows almost fully automated, then met-h at the barn, and coc-in at the docks.
