I would rather not it be that way, unfortunately people are currently growing 10x more cocaine than the new drugs.
Of course we would like to change that, but it seems very difficult.

New Drugs | Paralake 6.3 | New Job | Achievements | Org Missions | Much More!
After a long wait we finally finished working on the latest update. This update has been in the works for several months now, with the scope of it increasing as we went along and found more things to add and change.
The update brings several new features and many quality of life improvements. We hope that it will bring a breath of fresh air for long time players with all playstyles.
We would also like to welcome back @Dank into the development team who joined back recently and already helped us with some of the features in this update.
New Drugs @StephenPuffs@Fredy@Bolli
After many years, it is finally time for some new drug production! This update brings with it 4 new drugs you can produce and sell: Crack Cocaine, Opium, Morphine and Heroin. More in depth guides can be found over on help.perpheads.com (thank you to @Sean for writing these new drug guides). You can also find tutorials for the new drugs in the Missions section of the new Dark Web app.
Drug Market @Maia@Fredy
New drugs are great, but only if there is a reason to produce them, so along side these new drugs we are introducing the Drug Market, found in the previously mentioned Dark Web app. The market effects production yield of the growable substances you sell or use to make more complex drugs. The less a drug is being grown across the server, the more it will yield.
New Job @Fredy@peeps@Jyrgen
It has been a while, but we are finally introducing a new legal way to make money. Don your uniform and prepare to work in the hectic fast food environment of the McUwes kitchen! Inspired by our game Burger Blitz, the new cook job sees you take to the kitchen making burgers for the citizens of Paralake. You and two friends can take on the chaos of the kitchen and complete both NPC and player orders in order to gain xp and your wages. Head to Bazaar to try it out! (Thank you to @mocho for writing the new McUwes job guide).
Need a bite to eat between raids? Head over to one of the new ordering terminals in McUwes and build yourself a custom burger, cooked to perfection by the McUwes staff!
Paralake V6.3 @peeps
Alongside all the new gameplay updates, the map is also receiving a medium sized update, including new properties, new areas to explore and general improvements.
New Property: Kellco. Paper Factory
Situated between Slums and Shady Tunnel, Kellco. Paper Factory is a medium sized industrial property with a unique layout. Featuring 2 floors, and 3 rooms each of different sizes, this property can support up to 6 players with 5 table slots.
Bazaar Updates
Once again, Bazaar has received further improvements. This time the changes are focused on the overall vibe of bazaar, opening up the upper level with balcony catwalks leading to new entrances/exits plus the addition of frosted glass windows giving Bazaar a nice breath of fresh air. There is now also a parking space for delivery drivers in the underground parking, new shop wallpapers, and perhaps most exciting, there is now support for custom floors as well as wallpapers (available at Wallpaper World)!
Exploration
The biggest change to the map comes in the form of new explorable areas. As you head through Paralake you might find a door cracked open, or a way into a building you couldn't enter before. Several of the fake buildings around the map now contain partial interiors for you to explore, hide in, and find treasures (we will get to that). As well as this, there is a new expansive sewer system bridging the City and Business districts together. We don't want to spoil too much, you will have to go and discover these places on your own!
Bank Roof Vents
To help create a more dynamic bank raid experience, breakable vents have been added to the roof of Bank, allowing the responding police force to better access the building, and keep the criminals robbing the bank on their toes, forcing them to cover more areas.

Dig Spots @peeps@Carrot@Lelios1
With all these new places to explore, you obviously need new things to find! The new dig spots mechanic provides just that. As you explore the map you will find small mounds of dirt, and using the new shovel (available from Hammer Plus), you can dig up the trash or treasure that someone has left behind. There are a verity of things you can find in the dirt, from trash, to crafting materials, props, money, drugs and even rare items (including some new ones). You may also find free spin-to-win tickets that someone has foolishly left in the dirt. Dig spots are more likely to spawn in muggable areas, but they can spawn anywhere on the map.
And yes- we said new rare items. Dig spots can contain many things, but maybe even more exciting that a small fortune or someone's large stash of drugs is the chance to dig up both new and old rare items (if you're lucky). We won't give away everything you can find, but it does include the Horse Statue, Washing Machine and the new Turtle Plushy and Garden Gnome props. Happy hunting!
Organization Leaderboard Overhaul @Maia@Lelios1
The leaderboard has received a significant rework focus individual categories instead of a single score allowing orgs to compete with each other in the area they specialise. You can also see the date of the next leaderboard reset, and work towards the new category specific trophies! New categories have been added for both fishing and digging.
On top of this, the top 3 orgs in combat XP will now be automatically rivalled to help combat multi org zerg bases and make raiding more enjoyable.
Crime is more fun with friends! This update introduces new missions for organization members to work together one against the other orgs. When a mission is available you will get a notification in org chat. Check the Bounties tab in the Dark Web app for more details on what you need to do.
There are several bounties that can happen:
Airdrop:
A plane drops a crate off somewhere in the forest. You need to fight off the other orgs and get the crate to the drug dealer to receive the reward.
Capture The Base:
A locked safe with a vault cracker has been found in an unowned property. Race to the safe and defend it so you can steal the contents before the other orgs do.
Raid:
A rival org has had a bounty put on their base, you and all their other rivals have been notified of their location. Work together or against the others to win the raid and the spoils.
Org bounties will trigger several times a day and will involve all orgs with enough members online, and in the case of raid, if your org is rivalled with the target organization.
Police Changes @Draxen@StephenPuffs@Fredy@peeps
RTU have received some upgrades in the form of new static speed cameras. These new speed cameras can be placed in predefined places on the map and will then grab the plate of vehicles driving past that are going over the speed limit for that road, sending a notification to the unit of the officer that placed the camera. These cameras trigger automatically and remotely, allowing you to be in your car ready to set off after the speeding vehicle.
On top of this all vehicles have new light bars, and RTU have new displays to allow them to better communicate with other drivers. Thanks to @northnortheast for the display textures. RTU officers should keep an eye on PLPD Online for more information and guides on these new features.
The dispatch UI has also received a few QoL improvements. Dispatchers can now merge incidents, join incident radios and take over the radio for a short period of time.
We have introduced some new store items for you to show off your style with, both in old and new categories! The star of the show are the new License Plate Skins. Further customize your car with a range of plate designs inspired by plates from all over the US (with unique Paralake twists). Plates range from 1 to 3 tokens, and once you have bought a skin it can be applied to as many cars as you like. The license plate switcher has also received a bit of a rework to help you choose your new design. As well as the new plate skins, we have also added a few new planter skins to the store.
We are introducing a new a new tab to the F1 menu: the Progress menu. Here we have merged several old tabs such as the Jobs, Genetics and Skills tabs, with a new look to be clearer and have more information. We have also added two new menus, being Statistics and Achievements. Statistics lets you track a bunch of fun information about your character on Perpheads, from successful chop shop missions to the number of times you have coughed.
The new Achievements section has a set of over 70 challenges for you to complete, some of them are easy, some of them are very hard, and some of them are secrets and will be a fun surprise when you receive the popup informing you that you unlock them. Both Statistics and Achievements will start tracking from today (with the exception of the number of vehicles you own).
After years of requests, we have added thigh highs to Perpheads! Keep your legs warm in style with this new item of clothing. You can get your hands on many styles of thigh highs, as well as fishnet tights!
