As you might have been aware, businesses have been unbalanced for a long time, especially special businesses. Not only do they passively earn money, but they also require no restocking, they cannot be robbed, and they belong to the owner forever as long as they log in a few times a month.

The plan is not to destroy business earnings. The only issue we want to address is the fact that the earnings require no effort and involve no risk. We will make further changes as needed to incentivize active business owners and reward those taking risks or making smart business decisions with increased earnings.

This post is mainly to announce this feature ahead of time, so business owners have time to prepare, but also to gather feedback. Depending on how things go, these updates might be deployed in stages, postponed, or scrapped entirely. While I cannot promise every suggestion will be implemented, they will all be read and taken into consideration.


Upcoming changes

Every business can be robbed.
If a business does not currently have an entrance or an interior, it will get one.

Every business requires components.
If a business is out of stock, it will continue functioning, but the government will step in with emergency supplies and the business will not earn any money.

Closed businesses can be broken into.
It will be possible to break down the door and forcefully enter the business, but this will be difficult and require a lot of time and resources.

A business can have security levels.
This will reduce the amount of money that can be stolen, alert the cops sooner, and make breaking into and robbing it more difficult and take longer.

Special businesses will always work.
If the business offers a special service, it will continue working even when it's closed, but it will not earn any money.

Greetings everyone,

Today we're pleased to announce the upcoming release of custom vehicles. After a couple of weeks of headscratching, we've finally pulled it off. We're now able to add brand new vehicles instead of making the models replace existing vehicles. These vehicles may also have their own custom handling and other properties. You must be a launcher user in order to see these vehicles. Non-launcher users will see their base model, with a label attached to them explaining what vehicle it's supposed to be.

We're still looking into various options on how to distribute them, so keep your eyes open!

These are the vehicles we've added so far:

ID	Base vehicle ID	Name	Fuel Capacity	Custom Handling
15500	541	Lamborghini Huracan	50	Yes
15501	415	Jaguar F-Type	50	Yes
15502	426	Dodge Charger	80	Yes
15503	451	Ferrari F430	50	Yes
15504	402	Dodge Challenger	80	Yes
15505	580	Lancaster Rinehart	80	No
15506	547	LADA 1600	50	No
15507	579	Mercedes G63	80	Yes
15508	405	BMW M5	80	Yes
15509	562	Nissan Skyline GTR	60	Yes
15510	403	Vulcar Saxon	120	Yes
15511	515	Volvo VNL630	140	Yes

The old system was outdated, and it was tedious to produce so we completely reworked the drug system. From the way of obtaining ingredients to producing. Best of all? It'll be available to everyone. The update is also meant to be built upon and expanded, and you're free to suggest what you'd like to see.

Some highlights:

- - Removed the f-perk and the old drug system.
- - Anyone can produce drugs!
- - Added unique production chains to each drug type with tradeable ingredients.
- - Plants now require to be maintained to ensure they remain healthy.
- - Added hidden production labs around the map. These rotate every server restart and won't have any visible entrance.
- - You can plant anywhere where grass grows! (Outside the city of LS)
- - New plants.
- - Seperated old drugs from new drugs.
- - Addiction & Rehab
- - New drugs won't have a cooldown, and can be used earlier, but with diminishing returns.
- - New run.
- - Dark web.
- - New features for illegals and legals.


You can read the full changelog below.


Another new thing we're excited to announce is that IM-RP will be starting to use 0.3.DL. What does that mean? It allows us to do a whole lot more, such as custom server sided skins/objects. Alongside 0.3.DL, we're also looking at the possibility to expand our roster with a "mapping & modding" team. You'll probably hear more about that soon™.

Players that are currently not on the launcher may already connect with 0.3.DL. Other players will have to wait for the launcher update to go live.



We updated the launcher to be compatible with 0.3.DL. Can't find a download link for 0.3.DL? Don't stress! If you don't have 0.3.DL you can install it through the launcher (you will be prompted if you want to).

We also expanded and improved the game accelerator. Are you having issues with high packetloss or ping? Try using the accelerator. You will find it in the launcher settings. We currently have 3 servers, Australia, Canada and Singapore. Do note that this feature might not be entirely stable.

* The launcher update & full 0.3.DL support will be at a later date.
