Grow your own coca and opium plants

[djpudz]

Now that we have weed growing I was thinking it would be good if you could implement cocaine and heroin production by adding coca and opium seeds to the guy you buy weed seeds from, use the same growing equipment to grow it and add some equipment to process the end products (bought from the drug store).
Adding meth cooking would be good too, maybe have it made up from some chemicals (I'm not really sure how it's made) you buy from the gas station or drug store and combine the chems in a meth lab (bought from the drug store). Mixing different amounts of the chems could make it extremely toxic and/or addictive too, that would make it more challenging.

EDIT: Sir Kepi suggested growing shrooms, I think it would be great too and it can probably be processed using the equipment we already have in the game so it should be easier to implement that coke or heroin growing.

While growing your own cocaine and opium would be interesting, it wouldn't be all that realistic. Dealers grow their own weed, sure. But I've never heard of a dealer growing coca plants before, have you? This is a simulator and as such is meant to be realistic. In reality growing your own weed isn't that big a deal legally. Growing coca plants though? Huge prison time. That's why in reality, dealers don't usually mind growing weed, but stay away from growing coca and instead buy their cocaine from cartels.

I can see adding in meth cooking though, as some dealers do that so it's not entirely outside the realm of realism. I especially like the idea of mixing it differently to make it more addictive, less toxic, etc that you mentioned. I can see that being not only challenging but fun as well! ^_^

I know it's not really something usually done irl but it will give a better use for the growing equipment with players who are at a high level, it will also help them keep up with the cartel orders for coke.
EDIT; There are also things in the game that aren't exactly realistic too like selling coke to the cartel (they're the one's who would actually be making it and selling it to the dealers).

Unless I'm mistaken, you only sell coke to either dealers, clients, or the gangs. I don't believe you can sell it to the cartel, as the cartel would be Eddie (the cartel's representative) and he's who you order the coke from in the first place. Gangs are not cartels.

As for the growing mechanic, maybe implementing growing shrooms to give the growing mechanic a bit of diversity? I've heard people suggesting that before and I know I wouldn't mind seeing it implemented.

Nice we need it VERY VERY VER MUCH

Shrooms would be a good idea I didn't even think of that. I don't even think it would need any new equipment adding in the game to process shrooms either so it should be easier to add than coke and heroin growing. I'm going to add shrooms to the main post (to make sure devs don't miss it if they look at the post).

meth cooking, shrooms growin. Yes yes. pure Mdma crystals to buy to make pills( raw proudct, stronger): yes, coke paste: yes. coca plants: NO opium plants, NO should be realistic, we need more thinks to cut, liloicain? chemaical more medicals(uppers and downs) coffine pills, etc even sand,) WE NEED To make hashish, Cut your weed with e.g sugar . But never heard from a indoor coke growing thing would be so unreal

Guys, thanks for your feedback. We are working on new mechanics and we will consider some of your ideas. Stay tuned!
