Schedule I: Start the Game Guide

AntMag.NET

Quick summary

Start by customizing your character after a cutscene. Follow the "Getting Started" quest to open your phone, check messages from "Unknown" (Uncle Nelson), and find his stash near the skatepark for $375. Rent a motel room from Donna, then pickpocket her to reclaim the $75. Speak to Uncle Nelson again, then head to the hardware store to buy a grow tent, soil bag, watering can, plant trimmers, and packaging station. Deposit cash at the ATM, and consider buying a trash grabber and trash bag. If you tell Dan you're a drug dealer, he may give you "Speed Grow." Return to your motel room, set up the grow tent, add soil, and then talk to Uncle Nelson to meet Albert Hoover. Order OG Kush seeds via text message, pick them up from a dead drop, and plant them in the grow tent. Water the plant using the watering can filled at the sink.

Tips

You can change your appearance in the game files, and in the full game, at barbershops, clothing shops, and tattoo parlors.
Speed-runners can open the motel room door and step inside, then immediately start the next quest.
Depositing cash at the ATM is safer as you won't lose it if caught by police or if you die.
Holding 'Shift' while grabbing items from storage allows you to take the entire stack with one click.
Right-clicking an item and scrolling allows you to select a custom amount to grab.
If you buy items that don't fit in your inventory, they will be placed on pallets outside the store.
Trash can in the motel room takes up 2x2 tiles; a trash bag is recommended for removal.
"Speed Grow" speeds up plant growth; its effect on product quality is not yet implemented.
It's generally recommended to stick with OG Kush for its ease and cost-effectiveness in creating better products.
Dead drops with items inside are highlighted.
Dead drop deliveries take 30 in-game minutes (30 seconds) initially, then about 4 in-game hours (4 minutes).
Albert Hoover collects debts immediately when cash is placed in the dead drop.
