^could have applied that as a mission boost to the Patriot Stretch, same as they did with the delivery vehicles, though. I really think they messed something up with the Club Storage Parking Slot

Yeah, they did indeed. Also, the needless PV spawn outside your NC at login......., why?

Either I have been misjudging the speed of all 7 products prior to two weeks ago and when I came back from vacation reality hit me or a tunabowl or some unnoticed bug is slowing it.

 

Judging by the "it's just me" feeling it's probably the former.

 

All products still accrue but I used to be able to afk while I slept and 2 products would have gone from 0-max in the 8 hours

even mine is slow dude noticed it yesterday.. I have a feeling its a bug

What promo missions do you think?  Do you own a NC?

Dude, your Patriot Stretch is a personal vehicle and you can call any of your personal vehicles while doing promotion missions (except for the ones where you have to pick someone up) so I don't know what you're on about.

 

If you're talking specifically about the promo mission that uses the Patriot Stretch provided, then say that because no obviously you can't use your own if they provided you with one. Same thing goes for the ones where they provide you with Tony's Schafter V12.

"Except for the ones you have to pick someone up"  

 

I should have gotten that from your one word answer "Yes" when I asked if the vehicles could be used for the promo missions.  How did I miss that?

 

Don't sweat it, not a big deal.  f*cking Rockstar logic pisses me off.  Why wouldn't they allow you to use the one you bought?  It's faster and upgraded.

[Rafae]

It's only two/three out of like 10/11 different promo missions though so I didn't think it was really a big deal. Unless you specifically wanted to use it for those types of missions which I didn't really get from your post but eh it's whatever.

Question: is your night club popularity low?

 

I pumped mine up and my rate seems to have returned to normal.

With upgrades the fastest product to fill is Documents which happens in 15 hours. Nothing has ever only taken 8 hours to fill.

thats also another thing my popularity bar shrinks too quick man it never used to do that.

[Lubas]

So uhh.

 

I'm going to invest in MC business. Do I have to buy each equipment and staff upgrades?

Or it does not matter to NC accumulating?

[Guest Member2756931]

Just get the basics if you only plan on using it to accrue NC warehouse goods. MC business upgrades do not affect the nightclub.

Good news! No upgrades needed

[leerocklord]

Hmmm, does anyone know why my nightclub warehouse doesn't seem to be making me a lot of money?

 

It's fully upgraded, with equipment, staff and security.

 

My cocaine, meth, weed, forgery and Cash bars are full. My cargo and sporting goods bars are empty. 

It's telling me as it stands that my stock is worth 750k. It that right?

 

I'm sure I read that the warehouse can hold well I wrote 1.5 million when it's full. Does that mean that cargo and sporting goods equate to over half of the stock value?

 

I've left my nightclub popularity to drop to zero, does that affect the price of stock?

 

Not sure what I'm doing wrong or what.

Have you reassigned the techs from the full businesses to the empty ones? Popularity has nothing to do with production.

South American Imports, Pharmaceutical, Organic Produce, Printing & Copying and Cash Creation total value is $690,000 when all are 100% full. If you are on $750k you must have some stock in Cargo or Sporting Goods - have you done any Business Battles?

 

You must assign the technicians to the relevant products you want them to accrue. From the sounds of it you have set them to the five MC products (South American Imports, Pharmaceutical, Organic Produce, Printing & Copying and Cash Creation) but forgotten to re-assign them to Cargo & Shipments and Sporting Goods.

 

To be honest, there is little point in assigning technicians to Organic Produce or Printing & Copying. You are better off financially if you set the technicians to accrue Cargo & Shipments, Sporting Goods, South American Imports, Pharmaceutical and Cash Creation, selling every 20 hours (i.e. when South American Imports, Pharmaceutical and Cash Creation are full) - you will get $830k every 20 hours.

 

Math time...

Spoiler

 

If you spend 67 hours to gain 100% stock on all items you will receive $1,690,000 of stock, less Tony's cut of $100,000 (capped). You have $1,590,000 for 67 hours.

If you sell every 20 hours with the top 5 ($830,000 - 10% = $747,000) you get $2,241,000 for 60 hours.

 

You get $651,000 more in 7 hours less.

 

Three runs of full stock (67 x 3 = 201 hours) can be 10 runs of 20 hour stock (10 x 20 = 200 hours). In the same time (all bar 1 hour spare from 20 hour stock - put that down for the sale time) you will earn $4,770,000 for full stock and $7,470,000 - that's a $2.7m difference for the same period of time, and less management.

 

 

Maths conclusion... (figures are money in your pocket - after tax)

60 Hours of just the top 5 and selling every 20 hours = $2,241,000

67 Hours of getting everything and only one sale = $1,590,000

 

Huge difference - simple is best.

Ah I see. So I'm better off shutting down weed and forgery then. Thanks for the thorough answer.

[Guest Member2756931]

Yep, much better off. Weed and Forgery are pretty much a waste of time.

Does purchasing additional storage expansions (floors) increase the daily fees?

terrorbyte floor addition added 100 dollars to fees (was 1900$ before it came out) and it was maxed out before that, guessing from that 100 dollars per floor maybe, but i do know for fact 2000 is maximum per gta day for nightclub fee.

To answer this specific question, yes.

Its $50 per storage floor.

[Andromeda-J]

the terrorbyte floor is different i guess (it did increase from 1900 to 2000 for fees) and i did say im only making prediction based on that so storage floors are cheaper because they are considered regular garages and mechanic charges 50$ per garage

I’ve been away for awhile and am just coming back in. So forgive me if this has been asked/answered before.

 

If I have an MC forgery business, and I have a technician assigned to it, do I still need to go to the forgery and run supply missions? The wording of some of the in-game messages suggests that I do not. But it can’t be that easy...can it?

 

(Forgery business used as an example, obviously the question applies to all types.)

No, it must be running and not closed, but needs no supplies or product. Just open it up and walk away. No upgrades needed for the businesses either if only being used for night club.

 

Congratulations, it is in fact that easy. My only other advice is don't buy the full armor on your night club vehicles. They get stuck more easily in my opinion.

When Dave calls you for a mission for the DJ, does your character pick up automically like with all newer contacts? In other words, is it possible to miss it and be completely unaware of it while AFK?

Because nothing would be in the info tab.

Once he calls the mission starts and you can't miss the call as far as I know.

I mean the favors for the DJ, like rescueing their friends or getting their vinyl back.
