Why? Just why?

[Capt. Slappy]

I have so much contraband that I filled my level 3 storage room to the brim. I also had an almost full prison cell. So, I called a van to pick everything up. Now I couldn't give out all my contraband because the pickup van couldn't haul it all, which is fine. So at the end of the day, I grab my truck and pack everything up I can and head over to the police base. Well guess what. I cannot drop off the contraband because the dude who takes it isn’t there. I am assuming the guy who came to pick ♥♥♥♥ up for me at the outpost was the same one I needed to talk to at the police base. This is totally stupid. If this is some idea of balance it doesn't work. If this is a bug, it is inexcusable and needs fixing.

Yes. That's the same guy. And there is some logic in that - he can't be in two places at the same time. In my opinion, the problem is that the truck has an ridiculously small capacity.

That logic is beyond flawed, you should be able to drop things off at the station without him needing to be there at all times.

I ran into this problem endgame when money didn't really impact me all; however, I can see this being a big problem for other playstyles that are of the hording nature. It needs fixing.

tbh i completely forgot this was a thing. i always personally transported. I'm now prepared though for endless mode, that guy by ubering for me dailly :D

It's understandable that he needs to be there to take your contraband, but why is he the one driving the truck? I thought that there are more people at the police base.

Because, if you want something to be done right, you have to do it by yourself ;)

In the tutorial, he says that he is the only guy that has a licence to handle contraband. That's why he is the guy that goes to the outpost and that's why he is not there at the police base at that time.

I didn't saw it in polish subtitles, don't know about the english ones. I'll listen more carefuly next time. I'm privileged - I understand nearly 62% of this gibberish they are speaking.

actually I think the rewards provided for contraband are very low - usually ordering a police truck to pick up contraband is more expensive than reward that you get for all (or most) of the contraband that you handle over

Also I think that small item trading that you can do is the completely RP feature, because the income you can get with that doesn't seem to be of any interest unless you TRY really hard, and there is no fun in that - you just learn what the average price is, then wait for cheaper offers, buy and wait for those who would buy at much higher price.

It's a really neat feature for RP, but the daily costs in the game are really low compared to Papers please, so it doesn't seem like you need to take any bribes or to get over with everything.

Maybe devs should add difficulty levels. Just making you earn less would make the game much more difficult. Imagine having to spend most of your in-game income only to have enough ammo and be able to pay daily and overhead wages.

Yeah that is not true at all. A full truck load of contraband will cover the bill ez pz. I usually pulled 600 plus out of contraband alone. That was with a combination of drugs, booze, and cigs. I can only imagine how much more a truck load of drugs or weapons could be. Then you throw in a truck load of prisoners on top of that and you're sitting at a damn fine payout of over a few grand. With the truck only costing 500 smackers that price of convenience is good stuff.

The kick in the nuts for me was when I tried to off load the rest of my contraband and buddy boy was still chilling at the outpost even after the nightly turn over came around. He is supposed to leave at 12am, which I am assuming is when you have to fork over the maintenance and paychecks out. He's broken, but like I said at least for me it wasn't that big of a deal. Now other play styles could be feeling a bigger burn from this. The devs should revisit this little mechanic.

As for the trading I agree it is pretty much only for RP at this point. You make ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ trading when compared to contraband and slaves.
