My cocaine room won't produce more than $31,000 in product.

[Buddy Hightower]

I keep going out and stealing supplies (and I have even bought supplies once).

The workers are in there and they are using up the supplies, however, the product value is stuck at $31k.

If I sell it and come back it will grow back to 31k and stop again.

 

31k is about 1/2 of 1 "bubble" on the product output display bar.

 

WTH?

Do you have the Equipment and Staff upgrades?

Some MC businesses will get glitched like this and it can often be corrected by resetting the lab.

• Go to your MC, log into the network and shut down the lab. Just so you know, you will lose any product and supplies when you do this however all purchased upgrades will be restored once you start it back up again.
• Change sessions.
• Go back and start the lab up again. You may have to do a new setup mission (steal supplies).

If that doesn't help, a full uninstall and reinstall of the game may be required (or at least that's what R* support will tell you to do).

I am going to assume you didn't fully read the post.....

I can resupply it endlessly and watch the workers do their work for hours and go through multiple bars of supplies - hours and hours go by.

The product never goes above 31k, it never fills past 1/2 of 1 of the bubbles on the output bar.

I let all the supplies run out and sold my 31k.

Then I went back and shut it down and logged out.

When I get home from work i will restart it and see what happens.

 

Thank you.

Each business has 3 upgrades you can do, staff (gets you more staff allowing you to produce faster and slightly better product), equipment (gets better equipment in the business allowing you to stretch supplies further and increase the value of the stock) and security (which "supposedly" reduces the chances of being raided) - he was asking if you had purchased the staff and equipment upgrades in order to increase the value of the stock you're producing.

However, as others have noted, the MC businesses are known to glitch out on occasion, so a full shut-down of the business, server change and starting up in a new lobby is generally recommended.  (Admittedly I don't even run my MC businesses any more, just leave them sitting active, but completely empty to "feed" the nightclub, only supplying them on double-payout weeks)

There is a glitch with MC production, but also coke has only 10 units for a full product bar, meaning half bar = 1 unit, and it takes 30 minutes or more to generate 1 unit of coke. This is time you must stay in one session or a fraction of the progress will reset. If you don't have upgrades it's actually 50 minutes, and it will also take 2 bars of supply to generate a half bar of product. So some of what you experience (long production time, large supply consumption) is actually normal for cocaine, especially a non-upgraded business. But again there is a glitch as well, and that is usually fixed by shutting down and restarting your MC business.

Ok, I can't help you then. I was just asking for something you should have mentioned in the OP, upgrades or not.

The way I understand your issue, they use up all the resupplies you bring in, but they don't produce anything from it past the first half bar, it just goes to waste.

 

Is this on E&E by any chance? I suspect Rockstar done messed up again, and you should probably file a ticket to recoup your lost supplies and production time.

Update:

After restarting the business, it starting working correctly again.

i think my coke buisness ist buggy too. How much do you guys get for selling coke for buying 1x supply? I only get around 100k local and 150k non-local. But i read after the update, you get more for coke than for gunrunning. But for gunnrunning i get around 210k (non-local). Is this correct?

Depends on the upgrades you have. Equipment and staff both increase production speed and sell price. Equipment also makes the supplies last twice as long.

The “update” for the Mc business sales increase is only for the x/s and ps5 and I believe it’s only a 25% increase.  From what I remember 1 re-up on supplies made 2 bars or product in a fully upgraded coke lab, although I mostly sold at 1 1/2 bars to ensure a single vehicle run.

Yes I know. I have all upgrades on PS5. If I buy 1x Supply of Coke and than sell, i get 150K (non local). If I buy 1x Supply of Meth and than sell, i get 175K (non local). Just seems wierd.
