here is my list of 10 ideas for schedule 1, in no particular order. (part 1/?)
1: when being chased by cops, if you can get out of sight and change clothes, they won’t notice you. you will still be wanted and it will still go down, just you can now do it in plain sight.
2: the ability to rename products and change their order in the product app. you could also filter by effects, addiction, and price.
3: a flowchart feature in the product app. when you mix a new strain, it appears in the flowchart. it will help keep track of strains, especially in late game when you have hundreds of recipes and no clear way to see the ingredient pathing, as well as seeded mixing since you cant rely on 3rd party tools to help you.
4: small deliveries (ie: 4 slots or fewer) can instead be dropped off in a package in front of your property. you can use this on any property regardless of loading docks or how many packages are sitting in front of your property.
5: when you order a delivery, you can actually watch a truck drive from the store to your property and back instead of just teleporting. since the delivery times are not accurate to the size of the map, let’s say the truck leaves with about 30 min left and the previous time was just spent prepping your order.
6: when passing checkpoints cops can use a breathalyzer to check if you have any drug effects. you can buy mints that will fool the breathalyzers, but if you wait too long the mints will wear off. will only happen in late game and i imagine after the police revamp.
7: this one is small but npcs going into laundering properties because they always feel empty.
8: npcs that dont want drugs. they dont appear in the contacts app or map but do still wander the streets. you will have the option to ask them to buy something/offer a free sample, but they will call the cops. if you are paying attention, you’ll know not to offer, but if you’re just running around offering willy nilly you might get caught. you can’t expect a whole town to want drugs, can you?
9: continuing off of 8, you can no longer just punch and kill npcs. if any character sees you hiting someone/with a dead body they will start to call the cops, similar to shooting a gun. non customer npcs will also call if they catch you selling, but customers/potentials won’t.
10: a base effect for shrooms and meth (i’ll still keep coke as a blank slate though). i know this one is vague so ill give some examples
shrooms: psychedelic - low addiction but good price. causes the vision to become bright and oversaturated (could be repurposed into the MDMA effect in the future).
meth: alert - high addiction and good price. sounds will become louder, and police suspicion will increase slowly, giving more time to react.
i’ll make more parts when i get more ideas, but feel free to expand upon and provide feedback to mine in the comments.
