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.

Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
Bug fixes
Fixed 'respawn' button not visible in a multiplayer session with only 1 player present.
Fixed forward/backward rebinding not applying to vehicles and skateboard input.
Fixed non-host clients being damaged twice by NPC melee attacks.
Fixed payphones not working a second time if the first call is exited before completion.
Fixed NPC LOD bounds not refreshing properly if their ragdoll is moved far away from where they died.
Fixed employee tutorial quests not updating at 4AM.
Fixed a physics bug in which a particular liquid drum in the warehouse would fall through the floor. After about 9000 seconds its position would cause a floating-point error, resulting in an internal physics bounding box calculation error, which would then cause Manny and Igor's conversation prompt to not display (this was a fun one to track down...).
Fixed Uncle Nelson dialogue error in the prologue.

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 the main volume mixer failing to silence in-game sounds while the loading screen is active.
Fixed the lag spike that occurred as the loading screen closed.
Fixed vehicle wheels not spinning for non-host players in multiplayer.
Fixed Jessi never being selected as the random sewer key possessor.
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.
