Summary
Every drug lord needs to own a variety of real estate locations, but players inSchedule Ihave to start at Street Rat before moving up to Kingpin. One of the first properties the protagonist owns is a small, modest rental known as the Sweat Shop.
This bachelor apartment isn’t listed in Ray’s Realty, unlike the other homes or businesses in Hyland Point that the character can also use. The player finds it thanks to a tip from Uncle Nelson and rents it from Ms. Ming in Fat Dragon, the Chinese Restaurant downstairs. There are a number of ways it can come in handy as players grow their business.
Each of the following layouts includes space for a packing center, but a possible variation would be to move these facilities to the nearby hotel room. The player can also continue to use this space for sleeping, storage, oreasy access to dealer Benjiwho lives in Room 2.
5The Kush Lair
A Street Rat Operation
It won’t take long to make the $800 required to rent the Sweat Shop. The player will have access to at least one strain at this point, maybe two. The first is OG Kush, a reliable, mid-range cannabisstrain that almost everyone likes. It also combines well with early mixing ingredients like flu medicine and donuts.
Experiment with various strains as curiosity allows, but consider turning the Sweatshop into a mini-grow dedicated to one strain. It’s an easier way to amass larger amounts of product faster, provided the player is willing to sacrifice some variety until they acquire a larger growing space. The apartment is an L-shape, so it’s easy to divide one side into packing, storage, and living quarters with grow tents on the other side.
4A Green Crack Den
High Rolling With Potent Cannabis
Green Crack is a potent strain that opens up when the player reaches Hoodlum II. The base price is $43, which is pretty good already, and it mixes well with a wide selection of ingredients available at the Gas-Mart to make even more mind-blowing strains. In this case, it might be better to leave out the mixer to cram a few more grow tents into the space.
This idea is similar to the pure OG Kush setup, but it’s a more upscale operation that will cost more and alsogenerate better cash flow. This is also a time in the game when the client list is growing and the phone is blowing up, which includes Uncle Nelson with some tips about investing in bigger properties and local businesses.
3Mixed Cannabis Minigrow
Wider Variety For A Larger Client Base
It’s exciting when a player hits the level of Hoodlum IV and can access four types of cannabis strains, so why not try to grow them all? This becomes more fun and practical when the player has a much bigger space, but it makes sense to get started on a smaller scaleand evolve from there.
The space can easily fit two grow tents for each of these four varieties, but that can be pushed to three each, and players can vary the number if they want to favor some strains over others or respond to higher client demand. This setup is better with the packing station elsewhere so that there’s more room for grow tents, dry racks, and other related equipment and gear.
2Starter Meth Lab Setup
Perfect Size, One Employee
Once the player reaches the Peddler, it’s too small to fit the grow tents required to meet demand, and that often means moving the plants to the Bungalow or Warehouse. This frees up the Sweatshop for other endeavors while keeping the bed and storage, and the location is the perfect size for a modest meth lab.
All the player needs to cook meth is a Chemistry Station and Lab Oven, unlike growing cannabis, which requires substantial room for plants. This gives the Sweatshop more breathing room for storage and packing, making this a self-contained operation with little trash to clean up.
1Cooking With Cocaine
Compact Space For Plants And Gear
Cocaine is the strongest, most addictive, and most expensive of the products available in Schedule 1, which is why it’s the last to unlock. It requires both space for plants and a cooking station, so it combines the requirements of cannabis and meth and needs space for both. Plants need time to dry for better quality, which makes this more time-consuming than cannabis and easier to manage when contained in its own space.
The Sweatshop is more or less the perfect size for this, and there’s space for mixing and packing in this setup as well, making this another self-contained design. Cocaine is like cannabis in the sense that it mixes well with a variety of ingredients that can be used to make even more potent strains, for which desperate customers are willing to pay top dollar.
