About this game
Start from nothing and rise to the top as you expand your criminal empire in Drug Lord Tycoon. You'll begin as a low-level street hustler working out of a tiny back-alley garage, hustling the streets on your own. With aspirations of power and wealth you rise through the ranks, hire workers, dealers, and gain access to powerful contacts in the criminal underworld.
Becoming a successful kingpin is not easy, and there are a lot of risks and dangers you have to take into account. Avoiding police, rival drug cartels, and insane partners, is all a part of running a drug empire. So be careful who you mess with, or become powerful enough to become the danger!
Starting an empire isn’t easy work, and without any connections to the criminal world, you will have to put in some work yourself. Start out by hustling the streets with your product, negotiate with stubborn customers or charge extra from drunk partygoers.
Once word is on the street that there is a new supplier in town, dealers will start to show up. Use them to deal your product while you take care of more important things.
Crossbreed plants and experiment with new recipes. Make your drug your own, get the best traits or show off a signature ingredient or trait. You can customize your drugs however you want.
Growth in this business doesn’t come without its challenges. Once your production scales you won't be able to keep up on your own. Hire workers to help you out. Each worker possesses a unique level of skill for different tasks, it’s your job as the manager of your empire to assign the tasks in the most optimal way. Experiment with task priorities and amounts to see which combination fits your production line the best.

Achievements
AchievementsThe amount of achievements in the game has been lacking, so we’ve made a few more. And we’d love to make even more, so tell us some ideas for achievements you’d like to see in the game, and maybe we will add yours!Bug fixesSome players were having issues with the newest update, when transporting product it would sometimes disappear. This was caused by the system not checking if there was actually enough storage space to store the transported drugs.So now you will get an error when trying to move product to a warehouse without enough storage space. And should the storage space be big enough, but there still isn’t space on the shelves, the transported product will spawn at the delivery point.Read full article on Community Announcements (Duhndal)AnnouncementsOfficial
Passive production and bulk selling
Passive producitonThe legacy version of Drug Lord Tycoon already had a version of passive production. But since the overhaul this feature was temporarily removed while we reworked it. Each warehouse can now produce drugs passively, and the calculation of how many drugs are produced is much more accurate. The conditions for when a warehouse starts passive production, is if it can run completely autonomously. That means your equipment combined with your workers can complete the entire drug making process including packaging and putting the product on shelves. Once you have a warehouse that produces drugs passively you will be able to see it from the map. Simply click on the property and you can see any drugs in storage as well as the hourly amount of drugs produced. You can also move this product between warehouses, so there is no need to travel back and forth, you can simply just transport the product from one warehouse to your current location. Bulk sellingAlong with the passive production, we have also added a way to sell your product in bulk! You can now purchase a new property type “storage warehouse”. These properties’ main goals are to store product and ship it off to international buyers.You can purchase vehicles with different stats such as speed, storage capacity, and gas mileage. You can then re-package your product in inconspicuous packages, ready to smuggle across borders for a huge profit. Transfer product to your storage warehouse, select a buyer and a route, and start re-packaging the order and placing it on the pallet behind the car. Once the pallet is filled, you can send the car off to deliver the order.Quick interactIn Drug Lord Tycoon there has always been a lot of clicking to interact. That’s why we’ve also added a quick-interact feature. Simply hold down Shift and the left mouse button to quickly interact multiple times.Read full article on Community Announcements (Duhndal)Patch NotesOfficial
