Spending all my time restocking

[annersch]

I have a 8 mixer setup in the dock warehouse, producing the Banana > Cuke > Paracetamol > Gasoline > Cuke again > Battery > Horse Semen > Mega Bean version of weed, meth and coke. Everything is automated and runs pretty good, except I literally spend all day restocking additives and all night completing deliveries and restocking dealers. I make good money, have bought all the properties and businesses, but the restocking is killing me. Is there a way to automate ordering of addiditves and moving them from delivery trucks to shelves?

the dev thinks the more clicks you need the more fun you have, or something...

every damn game gives you a backpack and a key to take all of X from one container to another and a key to simply empty any container into any other container.

e.g. ctrl + left click = fill your inventory with all items from a shelf or delivery

the game maximizes inane clicks, scrolls and drag&hold movements that aren't just poison for your fingers over long stretches of time, but also make the game a real chore.

emptying deliveries should not be "gameplay". it should be done within a split second.
no one wants to stop people from doing it 1 by 1 for hours, but those of us who are actual gamers, not noobs who think drag&hold and 10 trillion clicks is sooo coooool, we really need some quality of life

bigger shelves, or at least commands to not do 1 item by 1 item. it's insane how it is now

lol all i play is simulators and survivals... trust me there are way way worse out there at handling this... they kinda games have to add grind to them.. its the nature of the genre

You can make the NPC to move from car delivery to shelf. PM if you need help setup it up.

i maximise this by using a fleet of veepers and emptying my inventory at docks. each short run to gas station i can carry 480 product. i pre fill the vans at 4am and park at docks leaving i empty van at gas station every night. i run 2 9 mixer coke setups and yes its a chore. i think i read somewhere are delivery drivers at some point.. i use the delivery option back to back from gas stations.

credit goes to crump for the docks setup btw. excellent guide. i would like to see a way to combine shelves so the handler could take from a combined bank of shelves.

It might help if I move away from weed and meth. Is there any reason not to focus solely on coke?

There are a lot of poor folks in the city so if you create a realy expensive flour mixture, some of your clients might not even have the daily cash for a single dose.

not really i found. customers will buy what you have in stock. i use barn 12 coke grow 8 cauldrons 8 ovens. 4 coke grow at apartment (this one only uses green fert runs for days with no intervention for some extra coca leaves) bungalow 16 coke grow all utilising drying racks and using all three fertiliser. you need this much coca leaves to keep cauldrons/ovens going to be able to keep up with coke demand for 18 mixers. be warned it means extra runs from bungalow to barn(coca leaves) then barn to dock with coke, nightly, you also have to micro manage each botanist shelf nightly(restock seeds and ferts)

thats when you assign all the lower spenders to dealers. jane and wei are never at "home" when i call all my personal nightly deals are made in the uptown area(the big spenders). jane stands around the casino and wei by the acrade mostly. during the day ill push out as much product as i can to randoms.

I personally believe that its also not a great design choice to discourage players from having a broader product spectrum. Currently the mechanic for favorite effects for your customers feels completely arbitrary but this is actually a tough nut to crack for Tyler.
But thats a different discussion.

I swear early game was so much fun now im pretty late into meth but man all you do in the morning is restock shelves,buy ingredients,and night deliveries constantly.

I literally don't have nothing to do since manually selling to dealers will earn me less money and it sucks i have to wait constantly for money to be laundered since i easily reach 10k first 1-3 days in the week so thats my gameplay loop and i have moments i just leave the game up at night to launder money so i have enough to buy properties during the day.

Please don't consider yourself a gamer, you don't deserve that title acting like this

Stricktly speaking you only realy need money in your bank account for property / vehicle purchases. Most of the more important money sinks are within the warehouse anyways.
At some point I flat out stopped caring for laundering money all the time and I just put some in the definetly not fried chicken shop when I'm near it.
