Schedule 1 Mixing Guide

How Mixing Works

A mixing station takes one unit of a product and up to 8 ingredients, added one at a time. Each ingredient carries exactly one property, and when it goes in, its effect is applied to the product's effect list. The product's sell price is then recomputed from a single formula: base price × (1 + the sum of every effect's base-value bonus), rounded to the whole dollar — the same rounding you see at the deal screen. The price is clamped between $1 and $999, which only matters for the most extreme cocaine builds.

Two things make the base price matter more than anything else. First, every bonus is a percentage of that base: the Long faced effect adds +52%, which is $78 of value on cocaine's $150 base but only $18.20 on a $35 weed bud. Second, the base is fixed — nothing in mixing changes it. That is why the jump from weed to meth to cocaine is the biggest profit lever in the game, and mixing is the second: the best 8-ingredient cocaine build sells at $648, a $440 gain over the plain unit after $58 of ingredients.

Effects also carry addictiveness, which stacks on top of the product's own value and is clamped to 100%. Tropic Thunder (Viagor, $4) is the heaviest hitter at 0.803, and Spicy (Chili, $7) adds 0.665. A maxed mix hooks every customer it lands on, and hooked customers reorder — which is why the "best" mix is not purely a price question, though in practice the highest-value effects are also the most addictive ones.

Effect Add & Replace Rules

The effect list is a queue with 8 slots. The rules, as the game's data defines them:

• Adding an effect the product already has does nothing — a second cuke after the first still costs $2 and still leaves you with one Energizing.
• A new effect is appended to the end of the list. Products can start with an effect already in slot one: OG Kush begins with Calming (+10%), Sour Diesel with Refreshing (+14%), Green Crack with Energizing (+22%) and Granddaddy Purple with Sedating (+26%). That initial effect never leaves voluntarily — it occupies the slot.
• When an effect lands on a full list, the oldest effect is pushed out (FIFO). A 9th effect evicts slot one, a 10th evicts slot two, and so on. This is the mechanism that makes order matter even without transformations.
• Beyond the append model, the community has documented effect transformations — specific ingredient-plus-existing-effect pairs that replace effects instead of adding. Those rules are being verified against v0.4.7 game data. Every price on this site is reproduced correctly by the append-only model, so the recipes hold either way; we will publish the confirmed transformation table when the audit is done.

Ingredient Tiers & Prices

All 16 mixing ingredients follow the same shape: one effect, one price, one unlock rank at Gas Mart. What separates a good ingredient from a filler one is the ratio between price and bonus. The table below is the full shelf in value-per-dollar order — bonus per dollar is computed on a generic base, and the dollar values scale with whatever product you mix onto.

Ingredient	Price	Effect	Bonus	Unlocks at
Viagor	$4	Tropic Thunder	+46%	Hoodlum
Cuke	$2	Energizing	+22%	Street Rat
Banana	$2	Gingeritis	+20%	Hoodlum
Donut	$3	Calorie-Dense	+28%	Hoodlum
Paracetamol	$3	Sneaky	+24%	Peddler
Mouth Wash	$4	Balding	+30%	Hoodlum
Flu Medicine	$5	Sedating	+26%	Hoodlum
Gasoline	$5	Toxic	+0%	Hoodlum
Energy Drink	$6	Athletic	+32%	Peddler
Motor Oil	$6	Slippery	+34%	Peddler
Mega Bean	$7	Foggy	+36%	Peddler
Chili	$7	Spicy	+38%	Peddler
Battery	$8	Bright-Eyed	+40%	Peddler
Iodine	$8	Jennerising	+42%	Hustler
Addy	$9	Thought-Provoking	+44%	Hustler
Horse Semen	$9	Long faced	+52%	Hustler

Read the top of that table and the meta explains itself: Viagor at $4 for +46% is the best purchase in the game and appears in every single best mix, budget and max. Cuke and Banana are the $2 filler tier — real bonuses at weed-scale prices. Gasoline is the trap:Toxic adds +0%, so its $5 buys nothing but an effect slot. At the bottom, Horse Semen and Addy carry the biggest raw bonuses but need Hustler rank, which is why early-game mixes stop at the $2–$4 shelf.

Worked Examples

Three chains, computed step by step, all reproducible in the mixing calculator:

1. Green Crack + Banana — the sanity check

Green Crack starts with Energizing (+22%). Add Banana: Gingeritis (+20%) appends. Price = $35 × (1 + 0.22 + 0.20) = $49.70 → $50 at the deal screen. This is the community's standard check that a game build's mixing data matches v0.4.7 — if your screen shows anything but $50, your version's data has drifted.

2. Meth + Cuke — single ingredient math

Meth has no initial effect and a $70 base. Add Cuke ($2): Energizing (+22%) appends. Price = $70 × 1.22 = $85.40 → $85. Profit per the calculator is $13: $85 minus the $70 base value minus the $2 Cuke. One ingredient, +$15 on the deal screen — the whole early-game loop in one step.

3. Starter weed, full budget chain

The starter OG Kush buds ($35 base, no initial effect) take Cuke → Donut → Viagor: Energizing (+22%), Calorie-Dense (+28%), Tropic Thunder (+46%). Price climbs $35 → $43 → $53 → $69. Total ingredient cost $9, mixing profit $25 per unit — and Tropic Thunder's 0.803 addictiveness starts hooking your list from day one. That is the cheapest real recipe in the game, and it needs nothing above Hoodlum rank.

Common Mistakes

• Buying the 8-ingredient list too early. The full cocaine recipe earns $440 per unit but costs $58 per unit to build and needs Hustler-rank stock. Until then, the 3-ingredient budget chains — Donut, Mouth Wash, Viagor on any product — are the better profit-per-dollar play by a wide margin.
• Mixing zero-bonus effects for profit. Toxic, Paranoia, Smelly and their tier-mates add 0% to price. They have real uses — quest items, deliberate product design — but in a profit build they are a wasted slot and a wasted ingredient. Check the bonus column before you buy.
• Ignoring the 8-slot limit on long chains. A product holds 8 effects; the ninth push evicts your first. If you freestyle a 10-ingredient chain, the expensive early effects you opened with are gone. Keep chains at 8 or put the cheap stuff first.
• Comparing sell prices instead of profit. A $302 meth mix sounds better than a $151 weed mix until you price the ingredients: $58 of add-ons for $174 of profit versus the same $58 for $58 of profit. Always subtract cost — the calculator's profit line does it for you.
• Forgetting the initial effect's slot. On the four named weed strains one slot is spoken for. Seven paid ingredients is a full build there; squeezing in an eighth either does nothing (duplicate) or starts the FIFO eviction you did not plan for.
