BEST TIPS I LEARNED AFTER 60 hrs

[james]

Any other suggestions/tips welcome!
I'm 60 hours in so far, picked up some neat tricks along the way. Thought I'd put a list on here to help some brothers/sisters out! :D

1. Allocate all your drug deals for Late Night. Time freezes at 4am (Deals don't expire). + Curfew Bonus is big earner! Free's up your limited day-time for other activites also :)

2. Granddaddy Purple + energy drink + Paracetamol. SMOKE IT and use for your nightly drop!!!! Anti Grav, Athletism + Sneakiness. Hard for cops to notice you, you move fast and spam jump at objects (sloped ideal) you will literally fly! You can move around faster than using a car/skateboard! I use the old sweatshop as a small grow just for my delivery drug.

3. Use jars/bricks for storage. Sell in 5/10/15/20 unless super high price product use baggie.

4. Asking price can be always way higher than suggested. about 2/3rd. Keep increasing in 10's/5s untill orders stop then reduce it by 5$ until orders start. Keep there.

5. COUNTER OFFER EVERYTHING. Each customer has pretty much same amount they will spend each day. max about 1500/1600 for good customers. Increase number of product they asked to buy to 5/10/15/20 whichever is closest round number. Increase price of each metric 5/10/15/20 gradually until they start saying no. You start to remember the highest prices universally accepted for each amount and stick to it. 10 OG Kush capped around 880 for me

6. Get good relationships with customers before counter-offering excessively.

7. They buy whatever you have. Stick to 1/2 products listed for sale. MUCH SIMPLER.

8. Give dealers bricks in bulk. They break them down themselves and less running around (Keep slots in their inventory free so they can break it down).

9. For crops utilise PCR and Fert. Increase yield works. I sell OG Kush & Coke. my 1 botanist (8 crops) for Kush over-supplies my need for it. and I sell a lot of it.

10. Organisation helps. I bulk order supplies once a week and store it all. I just now and then resupply botanists/packers supply shelf when required with the same quantities of each item. Bulk pay staff, etc. Handle a lot of admin tasks in bulk. You can start blitzing through days and getting that $ and xp instead of sticking around past 4am every night over-ran with admin.

11. Mixing is over-rated. Customers buy what you have... too many combos f ucks the counter-offer screen also

12. Always carry a m1911 on drops. If you get the drop near warehouse infront of where police stand at night, you can just smoke them both very easily. I also have beef with Austin... he got me arrested once by stopping me to ask for drugs in middle of a police chase.... I gotta make sure I can deliver justice at a moments notice.....

13. Vesper Van is helpful for bulk restocking supplies. I bought a few and they are just dotted around at different spots.

14. Any issues with workers. Kill/Fire them and re-hire. Any issues with cauldron/racks frozen. unnassign worker, save and re-load the game.

15. You can actually unpackage things in packaging station... click the arrow that says package, will change to unpackage ;)

16. *EARLY GAME* Basketball court has free baseball bat. Use it to smash atms for cash if your in a pinch. (will render the atm useless for a few days)

17. Trash.... use picker, collect and dump into a pile. keep collecting and dump into same pile. Use inbetween plant pots to pile high. Get a huge pile. 1 trash bag will pickup the whole thing. + You can take that trashbag with loaaaddssss of items in and put it in trash for cash for a large payout.

Hope that helped someone, somewhere! If anyone has any other suggestions or can even 1up anything I mentioned would love to hear it!

SO dealers break it down for you, but let's say I have OG Kush and Sour Diesel. I gave him Sour Diesel and kept the OG Kush. If I take Sour Diesel off sale so that I stop getting texts for it, will my dealer still sell it? So he sells one product and I sell another without getting spammed for the HIS product? Idk if I explained it well.

1. I Have all the OG Kush inventory
2. I give my dealer all of the Sour Diesel Inventory
3. I take Sour Diesel off Sale in the Product App.
4. Does Dealer still sell sour diesel even though it's "off" in the app?

Curfew bonus/haggling is needlessly tryhard. You don't actually need that much money all the time for the hassle. There's plenty of money to go around in this albeit unfinished and unbalanced game

You're absolutely right brother, listed for sale is just your personal stock for your customers. Whatever drugs you give your dealers they will sell it. Even if you haven't listed it for sale.

Yes they'll sell whatever is on them regardless of your 'active' products. The only think you're doing with Dealers is providing a customer list and inventory. They do their own thing. So you can turn off orders for 3 days and do a bunch of manual work/redesign a base, and the dealers will still sell.

I hear you bro... but part of the curfew orders actually just helps the mess of having multiple drops throughout the day. You can just do one round a day. at curfew they freeze so you won't run out of time making them all should you forget to bring a product with you etc. The curfew bonus is just that... a bonus. But a sweet one at that ;)

Edit* Also the haggling. It's actually pretty simple once you have only 1/2 products. My main is kush. It allows me to store bulk in Jars so limited storage required. I know in my head 1 jar is this max price. 2 jars is this max price etc. Once you know the max price they never say no to you regardless of customer. Some customers ask for 7/8 kush... you offer them 10 for the price, they say yes. No need for baggies

Yes the dealers will still sell all the stuff you give them . listing for sale only affects you getting messages about deals and turning it off wont change anything about dealers.
also don't forget to assign customers to each dealer otherwise they won't sell the stuff

Yea they sell whatever you give them. Product app isn't tied to dealers in any way just you personally.

How do you have 60 hours under your belt with the game crashes?

[TastyMercury]

Possibly because they haven't crashed, like most people.

For sure. I'm hoping they have figured something out and are willing to share. I've tried everything and my system is way above requirements.

"15. If you want to finnish the game. Try make it to morning. If you save and quit before sleep you don't gain the xp of that day."

Incorrect, you always get the XP immediately (you can buy the new equipment before the end of day summary screen), there does appear to be a bug where if you save and reload after making deals the XP is not shown at the end of the day, but you still have got the XP.

I assume the previous day XP is only kept in memory and not stored in the save so it can't calculate the difference (just a guess).

I Have about 40h ingame, still havent had a single game crush. My only setbacks are workers glitching, getting stuck and ''stealing product'' .

[Dragon Slayer Ornstein]

Same here, the only times the game has crashed is due to my PC being a POS (it's always unstable on the first boot). I've played the game for 10 hours straight no crash.

Mind you this is on Linux using Proton-GE with the game files compressed and without Steam (I like to launch my games without launchers running in the background).

Wonder why the game is unstable for others, seems odd.
