Drug timer potential change idea

Recommended Posts

Current Format:
House Cooking - 1.19% chance of lab exploding while cooking, 8 minute timer, can queue up multiple cooks.
Lab Cooking - Chance to be randomly jumped by other players, 8 minute timer, can queue up multiple cooks.

Potential Change:
House Cooking - 1.19% chance of lab exploding while cooking, 8 minute timer, can queue up multiple cooks.
Lab Cooking - Chance to be randomly jumped by other players, 4 minute timer, can queue up multiple cooks.

Argument:
While cooking in the safety of your own home, you can queue up around 40 minutes or more depending on what you're cooking, and just leave, with such a low chance of it exploding, and a much lower chance of being robbed, you'll be able to leave the cooking and go partake in other role play while it cooks.
Meanwhile at drug labs, if you leave you'll more than likely come back to your cook being stolen, and with timers being the same as in a house, its incredibly likely somebody can roll up and jump you for all you've got before you finish cooking.

Explanation:
Turning down the timers to half for drug labs will give more incentive to cooking there, considering the risk is also much higher than house cooking currently, it'll keep it as a viable option for those who may not own a property to cook on, while not returning to being as overpowered as it used to be in the past, also since you can't leave labs while it cooks, it helps keep the fun factor up, instead of standing around there for an extended period of time.

 

Secondary change:

This would take place on top of the first change. (unless it already happened idk I never cook)

Since timers would be cut in half for all drugs at labs, making houses less used than they would be with the current timers. Make it so not all drugs can be made at a normal drug lab. 

More complex drugs such as meth or heroine may need to be made in a home, while others can be made in either home or labs, such as weed or cocaine. This is mostly something I'm throwing in too because I know the developers worked super hard on home drug cooking and don't want to see people avoiding it entirely in order to make sure they get the fastest most profitable cook. So making some house exclusive drugs could be an idea to add on top of it.
