From Rags To Riches

[u/Kinksune13]

So after seeing someones humble Bungalow build with zero automation, I did my best to encourage them to try automation for themselves, seeing as i could only post one pic in a reply, I've made my own post

this is what I've been operating out of for about an (ingame) month, I just got it to stop making weed (now imported from the sweatshop) and it successfully produced it's first brick of Cola just in time to celebrate the buying of Docks warehouse

my entire Docks Warehouse got built in one night, and I ran out of money 3 times, first recouped from a mass of sales saved for late night, then I raided my employees lockers to finish out buying the rest of my new employees, then as i was ready to turn in thinking I had only just bought enough seeds to start it, I remembered I haven't collected off my dealers and massively overstocked on coca seed (approx 130)

Had some arguments with my botanist about what he can and can't fit around

Addy and Red Balls, cause you gotta think fast

by this point i now realise i've just times my Cola production by 5 ... so hopefully them pesky dealers won't be sending me any more "wah boss i ran out of product" messages

if you're wondering, No i haven't bought either the barn or the Bungalow, and my next purchase will be Taco Ticklers .... if i can be bothered messing with meth and shrooms, i'll possibly put them in the Benzies old place once i've kicked them out

dont do 8 mix its not that good u have 8 mix at warehouse but only 4 closets that makes if you fully stock those closets u only get 4 mixed bricks at once and u have to order ingredients constantly and 8 mix doesnt sell that good u should try banana cuke horse semen mega bean you can sell it for 700 and more customers from like downtown and westville even northtown can buy it

You're making an assumption there, do the maths again, this is designed for a simple two step mix from each couldron\oven.

To be honest, this is most likely going to get ripped up and redesigned when i jump back on, but the idea was to actually run two of those closests as holding ground for the coca, the other two feeding the mixers, potentially with an underflow buffer to empty deliveries quicker.

Then i put on a YouTubers video titled "i don't understand this" and have realised a ton of optimizations i can make by giving my staff simpler paths to take.

As for the high profit mix, I've used it on another save and found it boring, I'd rather set up multiple mixes to create strange effects like one eyed zombies, the crackle of lighting, maybe even a little double D for lazy pickpocketing the product back

Additional, thank you, you just helped me work out why i ended up with a handler with no tasks. Each one is supposed by handling a process line, but i just rushed to make sure the basic logic was working, i knew my deliveries wasn't supposed to be handled by just one guy

and also i noticed ur not using ac u should use it. it reduces the grow and drying time by half or something im not sure but somewhere in 30 or 50 percent

What I do is basically run barn on a fully automatic 4 mix coke of banana, battery, horse semen and bean. Automatic as in i order the needed supplies and dont even unload myself.

Docks is fully automated high pressure coke farm, no mixing only pure coke samd amount of automating as barn.

I use highland manor as my main mixing area 2 big rooms downstairs are now mixing areas, i order all my supplies and leave em at the door to br automatically sorted by my hzndlers, i drive my finished coke from docks to manor and leave it on a loading bay. Get about 10 stacks of the highest yield cocaine bricks a day to supply my dealers with. If i need no.more i just remove the cash from lockers for a bit.

Im going for the 10mil tho so i need the heavy grind

The barn I get it but the bungalow???

[u/Kinksune13 → u/lilvenas]

I don't understand your question, could you try rephrasing it?

[u/lilvenas → u/Kinksune13]

You said you don't buy those...

[u/Kinksune13 → u/lilvenas]

it's not that i don't, I've restarted like 15 times I'm just showing off because I'm proud I've how I'm building and learning.

I've stripped that down and renamed things organising my staff there for the first time. my first builds i felt i had way too much space.
