About the Game
Schedule I drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.
- The Drug Enforcement AdministrationYou're a small-time drug dealer rolling into a fresh town with no cash, no product and no connections. Build your drug empire from the ground up in the grungy west-coast city of Hyland Point. Contend against intensifying law enforcement and deadly cartel competitors to expand your empire and reach the peak of the underworld.
Produce a range of drugs to satisfy your customers, each one with it's own unique production process. Discover special recipes to create new drug variants with special properties.
Walk, skate or drive throughout Hyland Point to get product into the hands of customers. Hire dealers to handle distribution for you.
Purchase new properties and hire employees to expand the scope and scale of your operations. Work with suppliers to build a fully automated production and distribution chain.
This is a dangerous line of work - you'll have to contend with increasing law enforcement, as well as deadly cartel competitors. Fight with fists, melee weapons or firearms.
A growing empire needs skilled management. Reach new heights in co-op multiplayer.

Official update history
Additions
Added choice descriptions to the community vote panel.
Tweaks/Improvements
Big sprinkler is now sold at Oscar's store.
Hey everyone,
This patch delivers a number of bug fixes and tweaks, particularly for multiplayer. I've spent the past two weeks rewriting a bunch of yucky code to make it less error-prone and easier for me to work with in the future. You likely won't notice any significant changes, but behind the scenes, things are a lot tidier now!
I wasn't originally anticipating doing this patch before the Shrooms update, but I thought it'd be best to do some 'cleaning' and bug fixing before more content is introduced. Because of this, there's a good chance the Shrooms update will be pushed back into early-mid December, sorry. As always, I'll try my best to get it done on time, but I want to acknowledge the possibility of a delay sooner rather than later.
Additions
Added a network replication queue system, which staggers the data being sent whenever a player joins a multiplayer game.
Added an optional quest entry to the 'Deal for the Benzies' quest advising the player how to break the truce.
Tweaks/Improvements
Refactored a lot of networking code to minimise bandwidth usage.
Refactored how visuals are applied to mixed products in different states (unpackaged, baggie, jar, stored, equipped, etc). The old system was way too brittle and needed to be cleaned up before another drug type was added.
Cleaned up a variety of product meshes, combining separate meshes into one where possible.
Actions against the cartel now lower influence a bit faster, making it less tedious to unlock new regions.
Moved the vehicle color code to a separate, dedicated script. This has allowed me to replace all the static, decorative vehicles around the map with simplified versions that don't contain a bunch of unused scripts and components.
Modified how vehicles apply colors to avoid unnecessary instantiation of new materials.
Tweaked vehicle sounds.
Refactored how vehicles decide if they should currently be physically simulated or not.
Adjusted the friction properties of vehicle wheels when the handbrake is applied, making it a bit more effective at bringing vehicles to a stop.
Enabled physics for post boxes.
Bug fixes
Fixed bagged meth and coke using the wrong consume animation.
Cartel dealers no longer send 'inventory depleted' notifications to the player.
Fixed the cartel deal quest UI not reactivating.
Fixed merchant dialogue sometimes not working for non-host players.
Fixed purchased cars spawning in mid-air.

Fixed skateboard and vehicle inputs not working when you have rebound the main movement keys (WASD) to something else.
The player no longer gets XP for deals completed by cartel dealers.
Fixed customers being listed several times in the customer selection menu for dealers.
Fixed a missing collider in Stash & Dash.
Fixed drying rack management UI mislabelling.
Fixed non-host graffiti not lowering cartel influence in multiplayer.
Fixed missing font and incorrect text color in the vehicle repaint interface.
Fixed a multiplayer bug where removing an item from a slot and quickly inserting another would cause the item to disappear.
Fixed some null reference errors that happen when a player leaves the game while wanted or in combat.
Fixed police sometimes not noticing non-host players breaking curfew.
Fixed dead/unconscious cartel goons respawning and standing around doing nothing after a day passes.
Fixed NPC behaviour/schedule update methods not running at 4 am.

Hey everyone, here's the 6th post-launch patch. I've fixed a number of bugs and made a couple of minor tweaks. I've also created what I'm calling the alternate version of the game for anyone who is experiencing crashes. You can read more below.
Alternate version
The alternate version is identical to the normal version, except it uses a different scripting backend (Mono instead of IL2CPP). This scripting backend isn't quite as performant as the normal version, but it generally handles errors a bit better and is less prone to crashing. If you're experiencing consistent crashes in the default version, I'd recommend trying it out. You can opt into the alternate version the same way as switching to the beta version - a video tutorial can be viewed here.
If people find that the alternate version results in fewer crashes, I'll continue to maintain this version and keep it updated to match the default version. Even if the alternate version doesn't fix the crashing, it'll at least send me bug reports with more info compared to the default version.
Additions
- Added alternate version.
- Added 'cleartrash' command. Useful if you're experiencing performance drops due to lots of trash items.
Tweaks/Improvements
- Chemists can now be assigned up to 4 stations (up from 3).
Bug fixes
- Fixed mixing colliders behind the Slop Shop.
- Fixed not being able to knock on the door of the tall building next to the overpass.
- Fixed player speed multiplier not resetting after exiting and reloading.
- Fixed warehouse NPCs not returning to their jobs after attacking the player.
- Fixed employees being able to be assigned to stuff at other properties.
- Fixed being able to pick up items while on a skateboard.

I hope you've had a great weekend! The 5th post-launch patch is here. In this patch, I've fixed a number of employee bugs, multiplayer bugs, and casino bugs. I've also implemented a number of pathfinding validity checks to hopefully prevent a lot of crashes.
Tweaks/Improvements
- Added an active display setting to choose which monitor the game displays on.
- Botanists will now automatically move product from their supplies to drying racks.
- Owned vehicles are now visible on the map app.
- Implemented a few validity checks/failsafes for NPC pathfinding and warping. I think this was one of the primary causes of crashing on certain chipsets (thanks to Chi Chi on Discord for bringing this to my attention).
- Refactored employee item movement behaviour to be a bit smarter.
- Implemented NPC effects culling at a certain distance to improve performance.
Bug fixes
- Fixed non-host clients sometimes not being able to hit/stand in blackjack.
- Fixed a quest UI bug that was sometimes causing infinite loading screens in multiplayer.
- Fixed clipboard selections not reassigning without first manually clearing the existing selection (employee beds, botanist supplies, etc).
- Fixed the dealer sometimes preemptively revealing its hand to non-host players in blackjack.
- Fixed first-person jacket looking janky.
- Fixed 'Master Chef' achievement being rewarded prematurely.
- Fixed some property null references that were causing multiplayer loading/desync issues.
- The drying rack 'dry' button is now non-interactable if the input slot is reserved by an employee.
- Fixed NPC 'stay in building' behaviour sometimes causing errors for non-host players.
- Fixed NPC voiceover emitters sometimes throwing a null reference.
I've started work on the first content update and am planning to release it this weekend. I'll be posting some sneak peeks soon - stay tuned!
