My first playthrough: It feels like work at times, but fun work! How was your first playthrough?
I love the game. I started the game 2 months ago or so with friends. i couldn't play daily so i hopped in and out. was hard to keep up but i understood the appeal, i knew i wanted to do a solo run.
36 days ago i started: it was my best companion in the nights watching the world cup games 3 AM in the morning, while my wife and kid slept in the other room.
The game was beautiful at first. I also loved the benzos lore, and was sad that it ended so early. I hoped it progessed more after the spoiler bomb spoiler. I also loved selling to potential new customers amd getting them addicted.
Now here is where i tripped a little bit with this game.
It started when i first bought the barn. Thats where i overestimated myself.
I bought sooo many pots, i wanted a biiiig farm. until i hit my worker limits.
I had times where i didnt want to play, because everything was a big mess mid game. My automations didnt quite work, it had bottlenecks here and there. I was constantly having issues with restocking my supplies. My biggest issue was that i overestimated the amount of plants needed and filled my barn with almost 80 plants (i cut it down to 36 now and its still too much actually, again because of the worker limits).
Now after i bought the docks, i restructured everything and put in the work to just reset. now finally the automation for my cokeplant with drying racks and couldron und my meth/coke mixing farm in the docks works. Seeing my 4 mix finally land in the closet... that was it.
to be honest, right now my game consists of restocking supplies via deliveries. bringing my 4 mix coke and meth to my dealers and 4-5 customers. i think i reached now the endgame.
Overall: I had a blast. Sometimes it felt like work. But a very rewarding work. Setting up docks and with all the handlers paths finally working and seeing my 4 mix land perfectly packaged in a jar in my huge closet was my climax i think.
I have around 350k in cash and around 285k in bank account. My next plan is to buy the last property to display things. I think i want to buy all the cars and just display them in every property. I saw that i can buy display cabinet so i might display every single drug mix somewhere. Basically i think my end end game will be just flexing in the town. And maybe figuring out how to automate the supplying part.
In a year or so, I want to start a new run with Mods.
