Cool - both require a LOT of time for something that can be robbed in a second and the second option requires a huge risk in capital - respectfully i've been here 4 years too, I do understand how things work, all I was referring to is how inflated prices are and due to this how unrealistically prominent robberies are

thanks for explaining how the server is broken then - you just proved that the best money making method is to have a pvp mentality

So 1-3 hours for something that can be taken from you in a few seconds. I'll repeat myself, spoken with true ignorance. 95% of the time I see you on this forum you're always opposing somebody else's opinion.

Spoken with true ignorance I see

exactly, the only RP with gathering plants now is either chain robbing people or going in and out of drug spots for max 30 seconds to gather their plants - RP for plants right now is either non existent or unhealthy/unrealistic. The planters could even only be placed outdoors maybe, meaning that you'd have to build an outhouse to grow instead - opening up the opportunity of risk like with chop shops

respectively, ive used the drug system for 4 years - you're also acting like the devs cant just simply add a prop limit to the amount of planters, or a heat system when over a certain amount like the old tables

and nothings stopping those people from selling a realistically legal item for 2x the price it costs them

if you were ONLY growing and not cooking, you'd make hardly anything - considerably less than any, even freelance, job

going to the complete other extreme of rolling around with shotguns to retrieve one of the lowest level drugs which is legal in a lot of places seems a whole lot worse for the server than this in my opinion

you're definitely safer growing in the middle of nowhere than risking the security of your property - growing 1 out of many ingredients required for a cook in a public location is by no means printing money

Level 4 plates are like 1/10th the price of most quality guns irl, im not quite sure why armour is so expensive nor am i sure why its an import - why should body armour be illegal?? Being able to legally carry something that causes damage but not legally being able to wear something that prevents damage is wild in my opinion.

20k per car is fair - you'd have to split that with somebody else to stop cops tracking the car, or risk the pd/sd raiding your house, loosing hundreds of thousands, and having to run/take a taxi all the way back to your car

should be reduced to 2 mins, 5 mins is absurd - you can cover the whole map in this time, basically no chance of getting away if theres a unit avialable. its a game of RNG

it could be an exterior addition so people build exterior grow houses similar to chop shops

I actually completely agree with you, there should definitely be a good amount of risk - however the risk right now is just too great due to the low number of labs. We’ve gone from one extreme of private labs where the risk was near 0 IF you knew how to do it right to the other extreme; im simply suggesting that there should be a middle ground to avoid some of the unrealistic chain-robbery RP

honestly no, i dont, but as somebody who usually plays solo or in a small group, the game is currently near impossible to play as every 15 minutes you get rolled in on with somebody using a pump. if i "just want money to be easier to get" i'd simply roll around robbing people too instead of cooking, but i'd like to RP as a drug cook, not the average gmod darkrp user

looking at how you reply to these types of suggestions you seem like the person people are complaining about, the pvp mindsetted person rolling from lab to lab in a circle with heavies - risk vs reward isn't adding up

yeah there definitely needs to be more active labs - cooking right now is just a game of waiting for a group with heavies coming round the corner making solo or casual play impossible - getting rid of private tables was cutting off one extreme, but its just resulted in going straight to the OTHER extreme instead of the middle.

Except its not printing money? You'd have to p2p sell them off which is at a risk of being scammed/robbed or cook them into drugs at a public lab. If anything, the risk is the same as your house is now a POI for other criminals.

I feel like adding a way to privately grow plants would be quite good, it is much much more likely that somebody is growing weed in their house rather than cooking multiple kilos of Cocaine or LSD, hence the removal of private labs - people would still need to use public tables to actually cook these plants into drugs as well as turning plants they have found in the wild into seeds. The current system is unrealistic. I personally don't think that to obtain plants, the best method should be to drive between 4 locations in a circle with a shotgun in your car/bike picking plants, stashing them, then repeating the circle. I think that private groweries would create a much better roleplaying experience, it would increase the demand of plants on the street - meaning that more people would be asking around for weed plants, as well as recovering some property value that was unrealistically stripped from people's investments when private labs were removed. The solution. To fix this issue, I think that you should be able to grow plants privately. You would use planters and soil bought from an NPC, as well as imported UV lights to enable the plants to grow at a viable speed. This would mean that people would still be able to grow the plants without importing using gangs, making solo play more viable, but the grow would take hours instead. The UV light object would simply speed up the grow time to allow for multiple cooks a day, instead of having to plant, log off, then pick in the morning for example.

I think the item should invalidate if police find it as RPly you'd be marked as dead or if not found then a timer for expiration like 24-48hours like ArcAngel said, then the person would RPly be marked as missing/assumed dead.

still looking for one? what budget

bumping aint gonna help you playa told you it was overpriced and it is, he made a fair offer

you make an extremely valid claim with crims earning money on the map, fair enough
