Does the MOC mission Cover Blown get you anything for passing it?

Does anyone have moc livery??

Nope which is rather odd

[CaliMeatWagon]

Im just hoping that a full supply bar aint enough to give 2 delivery vehicles. Have to be careful now that they have patched the playlist

 

Anyone knows how much stock it gives?

 

It doesn't seem to. I think we are going to see a similar vehicle pattern as with the MC businesses. I mean it makes sense to use assets that are already there instead of creating new ones from scratch. Especially for something like this.

 

Here's my current testing results with all Upgrades:

 

Manufacturing:

• Time to manufacture 1 unit of Stock: 7 minutes
• Value per Unit of Stock: $7,000
• Time to fully Stock: Unkown
• Supplies needed to fully Stock: Unkown
• $ per hour*: $60,000 Blaine County, $90,000 los Santos County

Research:

 

• Supplies needed to complete Research: 7/12 of the supply bar
• Time to complete Research: 3 1/2 hours*

Manufacturing and Research:

 

• Time to manufacture 1 unit of Stock: 14 minutes
• Value per unit of Stock: $7,000
• Time to fill Stock: Unkown
• Supplies needed to fill Stock and Complete Research: Unkown
• $ per hour*: $30,000 Blaine County, $45,000 Los Santos County
• Time to complete Research: Unkown

*The Research speed doesn't appear to be consistent. After two hours the Research bar was a little under halfway full, and it had used a little under 1/4 of the supplies. That lead me to assume it would take between 4-5 hours to complete, and 1/2 of the supplies. Once it hit 50% Research the progress appeared to speed up. I also noticed occasionally the bar would begin to flash and fill more than the regular ammount.

 

If Research does indeed spped up, I wonder if the same thing applies to Manufacturing when the Stock is over a certain ammount... If the same thing happens, the $ per minute/hour might increase the longer you stock up before selling. If that does happen, GR could be a cross between MC Businesses and CEO Crates. The more Stock you build up before selling, the better $ per minute/hour you make.

 

Has anyone noticed a similar patern with the Research Bar? Or even the Stock Bar?

 

 

The first 75K of supplies I purchased gave me 16 of stock.

The next 75K got me 10.

But check the values. It went from 54K to 114K.

This is with just the staff upgrade.

The solo 6672 trick still works by far...

6672 is the main GTA Online port, interrupting traffic between your Xbox (easier methods on PS4 and PC) and the internet across this port for a few seconds will lag you into a public session.

Question on AFK research/manufacturing:

 

If I stay in the bunker and leave myself watching the security monitors, will that...

 

A. Prevent any raids?

B. Not time me out after 15 minutes of inactivity?

C. Allow Research and/or Manufacturing to go on it's own until supplies run out?

Does anyone have moc livery??

I don't think there is one... yet.

 

It may be a dripfeed addition

It may be a mistake that the Armed Vehicle liveries don't work of the trailer

It may only be for special events (July 4th or Halloween, etc.)

Rockstar may have pulled it after discovering a bug in it too close to the release date to fix in time and will add it later (I had better not see this theory in a YouTube speculation video!)

I tried leaving my character on the laptop chair afk yesterday and it worked... stock was producing without me being kicked out of Online. However, I tried the same thing today and it didn't work unfortunately.

[Jedi_n1te]

Cheers. I been afk for hours, not timed out or raided and producing goods

D. Will I continue to be charged the daily fees?

I believe so. It isn't tied to any one of the three ventures specifically that's why. I can't confirm this though.

I conducted a short experiment and these were the results:

A. Unknown, but probably. Warehouses and Biker Businesses are immune to raids while occupied. Also, I think they can only raid products. If you are purely researching, then nothing to raid.

B. Confirmed. 15+ minutes and still logged in

C. Confirmed. Supplies turned into Research progress.

D. Unknown. I'd have to leave it for 48+ minutes to find out.

 

I've restarted and will check later to see results. There's a bug that if your supplies fall to zero that it won't count stolen supplies and you have to buy a full bar of them for $75,000. If the idea that a full bar of supplies = 2.15 bars of Research (no manufacturing and fully upgraded staff and equipment) then this trick is much better than insta-researching for $225,000 when you have to do thing in the real world, yet want stuff unlocked.

I just did two steal supply missions in a row and supplies stayed at zero.. But I did get the call from Agent 14 that the next mission is available in my MOC. Any ideas why?

 

EDIT: Interestingly I just changed sessions and now it's at nearly full. Maybe you need to switch sessions for it to reflect progress sometimes?

I think this is a bug when your supplies have been completely drained. Try switching what your staff are working on briefly. That caused them to appear straight away for me when they didn't show up after a steal mission. Obviously if you buy supplies there is a delivery time.

[Black Terminator]

I finally unlocked the turrets for my mobile operation center as my first researched project. It feels good to finally have one out of 45 research completed.

dont sit down on the chair at the pc while being afk. the problem with that is, you have to be ceo/mc to sit there. abd while youre CEO/MC, you have to pay

the daily bunker costs.

 

the trick is to quit CEO/MC, while afk and watch the surveilance camera to not being kicked.this will prevent the dailoy bunker costs

How much will my associates earn if they help me sell full stock?

[Sentinel Driver]

Is it better to wait for research to be completed or just produce weapons and sell them and use the earned money to fast track research?

[Lubas]

I believe this is totally your preference.

[REXX]

Might want to calculate how long it'll actually take to unlock all research projects without fast tracking. Put it like this, times the approximate 3 and a half hours it takes to research one and multiply that by 45. My quick calculation is that it'll take just under a week leaving your console or PC on constantly.

I started Gunrunning earlier today

 

Only Staff Upgrade is applied, here's what I gathered.

 

2:19 PM - 30,000

2:39 PM - 42,000

2:51 PM - 48,000

2:54 PM - 54,000

3:29 PM - 66,000

My god stock really does rise up faster after research is completely done

[Lubas]

How much faster is it?

 

So the strategy should be research then manufacture?

[Rafae]

Not able to pinpoint specifics but it's clearly sped up alot

 

I assigned staff to both research and stock until all upgrades were unlocked but yeah that's definitely the better way to go about it.. first research only and then stock.

I don't have enough budget to fast track.

So I don't think spending hundred hours is wise, don't you think?

 

*sigh* I see no feasible solution here

[xTBx23]

Do you mean after all 45 contracts? or are you researching and manufacturing at the same time?

[Rafae]

Your best bet is to let them do research on it while you do supply runs or whatever to help stock grow at the same time. Do I/E, crate runs, MC Work etc. in the meantime as well.

I think I know, but I forgot.

 

Do you know the estimated time to research all 45, with staff dedicated to Research?

I might do that

[Rafae]

Do you mean after all 45 contracts? or are you researching and manufacturing at the same time?

Basically when the staff is focused only on stock and not research. You can do that by both assigning them manually to only stock or waiting until you unlock all upgrades and then they automatically switch to focusing only on stock.

 

If you research and manufacture at the same time, the progress of both suffer greatly.

[fryday]

I can understand you people wanting finish all researches immediatly,

 

but otherwise i like the idea to unlock some nice things in a few weeks. that keeps me having goals to reach
