Summary
The products that make up the player’s selling inventory inSchedule Iare popular all by themselves, but the Mixing Station can be used to make a good strain great. Part of the fun in the game is experimenting with different ingredients to get the best, most profitable results to keep clients loyal and hook new ones.
There’s a range of different products that players can mix with their cannabis, cocaine, or methamphetamine to give their products a range of different effects. The best mixing ingredients are the ones that are cheap, easily found, and give the player the most bang for their buck.
7Gasoline
Unlocks At Hoodlum V
Gasoline is one of the more potent and volatile mixing ingredients available, which is why it unlocks at Hoodlum V. Mixing it with cannabis adds the Toxic effect, which doesn’t improve the strain very much, but gasoline becomes much moreuseful at later levelswhen the player is cooking cocaine.
In a moment of art imitating real life, gasoline is one of the main ingredients needed in Schedule 1 to process booger sugar. Some customers who buy cannabis like the Toxic effect, so it’s useful for them, but before the player starts cooking nose candy it has limited uses.
6Chili
Unlocks At Peddler IV
This expensive ingredient unlocks when the player hits Peddler IV, which is about the same time they’ll start gathering the materials for meth production, so this little red Chili might get lost as the business progresses. However, it has a valuable and fun Spicy property that mixes nicely with strains that already have Calming or Sedating effects. Players can experiment with the formula by adding more than one unit to a single recipe.
People seem to prefer Chili in their meth or cocaine, which might be why it’s one of the ingredients that the player can’t pick up until they’re ready to start cooking more dangerous and complicated products.
5Banana
Unlocks At Street Rat One
Rich in potassium and lovely for a snack, the humble Banana is a great addition to almost any mix, especially at the beginning of the game. It’s cheap, availablein a few locations, and it usually adds the Calorie-dense effect to a mix. Other occasional traits include Gingeritis and Balding.
Early in the game, players only have access to a few cheap strains of cannabis, and Banana is an economical way to make a more expensive mix. Adding a two-dollar banana to a cannabis strain can add about $20 to the price, making this well worth the cost and effort.
4Cough Syrup
Unlocks At Hoodlum IV
This ingredient unlocks at Hoodlum IV when the player should be growing stronger types of cannabis like Green Crack and Grandaddy Purple, which are the ideal strains to mix with Cough Syrup. The item is described as being used for pain relief and improving sleep, so it can be added to an Energetic weed to bring it down or a sleepy one to bring it up.
It’s one of the more expensive ingredientsat this stage of the gameat $5 per unit, but since the player is making bigger investments by this time, the price curve won’t break the bank. It’s the basis for some great strains and can be used to make some extra money at a time when the player is looking to expand.
3Donut
People like weed and donuts, sowhy not combine them? The donut is similar to the banana in effect and cost, but it adds more appeal to a strain with the Calorie-dense effect and the Energized or Thought-provoking traits.
Not only is this mix a great seller that often brings a humble strain of weed up to a decent or even hefty price, but it’s also cheap, easy to find, and available at the earliest stages of the game. Even when the protagonist starts cooking more series drugs later in the game, don’t forget to throw in an occasional donut.
2Mouth Wash
Unlocks At Hoodlum II
The brand name is a very tasteful parody, Pissterine, so it’s preferable to just refer to it as Mouth Wash. It’s not available until Hoodlum III because it’s slightly overpowered. Not only is it inexpensive and available in various places,but it can add propertiessimilar to other pharmaceutical ingredients like flu medication and Paracetamol, but without the same drawbacks.
Anti-gravity, Electrifying, and Refreshing are just a few of the results that adding Mouth Wash can yield as a mixing ingredient. It’s only $4 per unit, so by this time in the game, the player should be able to afford enough for some further discoveries and fun experiments.
1Viagra
Hoodlum II
Here are two popular drugs that each have a reputation as an aphrodisiac, so why not combine them and make cannabis both romantic and fun? The Tropic Thunder effect helps a person “get chibbed up” and is ideal for date nights or casual encounters. It might be just part of the immersion, but it’s a highly sought-after trait that clients seek out, and a free sample with this characteristic is always impressive.
It’s a popular ingredient that’s nominally priced and tends to make cheap or low-quality strains a lot more expensive, reflecting its status as a billion-dollar drug in the real world. Hoodlum II is still a low rank, and it’s a time when most players need to make as much money while being as frugal as possible. Viagra works for both factors, returning an investment without taking too much away from the “Expand to the Warehouse” fund.
