ASPIRIN

[Billy Bubbles]

So in the server at the moment the drug game is booming but aspirin is vital to multiple different types of drugs but yet the hardest resource to get.



At the moment the only way to get aspirin in mass quantities needed for drug production is through pharmacy’s but yet I haven’t seen it restocked in around 2 months.



The other ways to get it are: Panning, dodgy chemist and robbing the pharmacy’s but panning I was getting around 5-10 every half hour the dodgy chemist never stocks it and robbing pharmacy’s is good but they never get repaired to do it consistently.



As well contacts have been made to NHS and Nobles workers yet still can’t get this elusive drug.



So my suggestion is to create a new way to get it that be a bench where a mixture of ingredients is needed to craft aspirin or a way to gather it which is consistent.



Peoples ideas can be left below.



Pros - people get there much needed aspirin



Cons- dev work

I think the amounts you get from the pharmacy are fine. Panning is a mostly legal thing so I don't think the amounts from there should be increased. The biggest issue atm is pharmacy stock. Hell, fuck the aspirin, the pharmacies are out of wrapidclots even. Seems to me that NHS command is inactive which is a huge cog in the whole crim/drug rp machine that is missing. THAT should be the main focus on staff's end to fix. Staff should tell/force the NHS to restock the pharmacies more often, or think of a new system to get more aspirin into the city. I like how certain elements of new substances (being vague on purpose) are locked behind certain walls (like gus' new addition) but not having been able to get such a simple ingredient for so long is a pisstake imo.

Maybe the staff can take a look at the chemist again, make him restock tiny bits every few hours, or make it so every whitelisted gang has his own chemist whose stock is based on how many people are in the f6 that have high chemistry (because contrary to streed cred and all the benefits from that like gang rep, gus packages and pricing etc, chemistry currently has only 1 use which is making drugs) and have him stock some stuff every week or something.

Yea I agree this post is just a way to get staffs awareness on the lack of 1 singular ingredient that’s fucking the drug game

I think we defo need more ways on how we can get aspirin, especially considering that by the time pharmacy is restocked with aspirin, it's gone within a day or two as people tend to buy 1000's and stock up, leaving none for the rest if you're not fast/aware of the restock (skill issue )

I wouldn't be against it potentially being added to gus runs maybe, as everything else that's used for drugs that can be used for pharmacy's can be received from gus,. Would be nice to see what ideas some people have on how we can bring it in.

Yea if your not at the pharmacy within the first 10 minutes it’s all gone

There isn’t a lack of aspirin stocked in the warehouse either it’s upwards of 30k or something so it’s a lack of restocking by NHS or whoever works at pharmacy

Now your removeing the fluid RP if staff have to force the NHS to restock then your at a point of why have the NHS run them and just turn it it o a auto stocked vending machine ?

I get asked for alot of stuff through the warehouse but medical we don't sell to public tho it would seem more of a RP thing to maybe convince the NHS to restock the places?

I wouldn't be asking for an auto stocked vending machine, but the last restock of the pharmacy has been months ago. That's just not good enough is it. Everything we do in the sandbox that RPUK is is circular. Like I said before, if 1 of those cogs vanish, the machine goes to shit. That's where staff can intervene. Fluid RP is good and all, but the base foundation needs to work and work well, and that's what this suggestion is for.

Sounds like an RP issue

The lack of Aspirin actually do have a couple reasons to it. Me and Me.
One has to do with RP, Aspirin was sold off the shelf and was bound by a deal with the NHS. With a bit of swing swang i honored that RP by loosing the ability to distribute that.

2nd one is a response to what i want to call is a bit of min maxing. No matter what we did, market responded by WE DONT CARE LETS GO! So I've put a bit of restrictions to it.
Many different avenues was taken within RP to see what we can do but its hit and miss, people target the drugs that sells for the most, cause cash is king. One day i will make sure that bites you in the ass!


But, we see you, we hear you. We are taking some steps to help with it BUT.... things will change again and again.
Some parts are to easy, some are to hard so this is why we change things!
If you want new things, maybe work on notoriety!
