Overview

Machines are used to process raw ingredients into drugs. Each machine accepts specific ingredients and produces a specific output. You must be near a machine to interact with it. Machines are placed inside labs and can be confiscated by law enforcement.

A machine goes through three states: Idle (ready to use), Processing (producing output), and Cooldown (waiting before it can run again). A confiscated machine cannot be used at all.

Machine Types

There are seven machine types, each tied to a specific product. The table below shows the base processing time per batch, the cooldown after all iterations finish, and the maximum batch size.

Recipes

Each machine requires specific ingredients. One set of ingredients produces one unit of output. If you store more ingredients, the machine will automatically increase the batch size up to its maximum, producing more output per run.

Cocaine

Ecstasy

Isosafrole (Sassafras Processor)

Opium Sap (Pods Processor)

Morphine Base (Sap Processor)

Morphine (Morphine Processor)

Heroin

Batch Size

When you start a machine, it automatically checks how many full sets of recipe ingredients are stored inside. It will process as many sets as possible in a single run, up to the machine's maximum batch size. The output is multiplied by the batch size.

For example, if you store 4x Coca Leaves in a Cocaine Processor, it will run a batch size of 2 (the maximum) and produce 2 Cocaine.

The formula is: adjusted_time = base_time * (100 + ((batch_size - 1) * 10)) / 100

Iterations

Each time a machine finishes a batch, it checks if there are enough ingredients left in its inventory to start another run. If there are, it automatically starts the next iteration. A machine can run up to 10 iterations before stopping.

As iterations progress, the processing time per batch decreases:

Starting a Machine

When you use /machine start, a minigame UI appears. You must press Start to begin, then click Add Ingredient at the right moments as a progress bar fills up. The number of steps varies by machine type (for example, the Cocaine Processor has 2 steps while the Heroin Processor has 11).

If you miss a step or click at the wrong time, the machine fails to start. On failure, one set of recipe ingredients is consumed and the machine enters cooldown.

Storing and Taking Items

You can store ingredients into a machine or take items out of it using the /machine store and /machine take commands. The machine only accepts ingredients that match its recipe.

Use /machine inventory (or /machine inv) to view what is currently inside the machine.

Quickstore

The /machine quickstore command lets you deposit full sets of recipe ingredients from your inventory in one action. You specify a multiplier (1 to 10) to deposit that many complete sets at once. If you do not have enough items for the requested amount, it will deposit as many full sets as possible.

Confiscation

Law enforcement officers (tier 0) can use /machine confiscate to destroy a machine. This takes 60 seconds and requires you to stay near the machine for the entire duration. A confiscated machine is permanently disabled.
