Main Idea: Reform the way meth works
Full description of the idea: Remove the chance of a meth barrel exploding doing the process of cooking to make it more attractive for players to get around this aspect of the server. Both risk and reward is too high and most likely the reason why people don't interact with this aspect of Perp. At the moment you make about $1050 per barrel or ~$950 if you include the ~10% of an explosion. My suggestion is to change the buying price of a barrel to $1500 so you would only profit $550 per barrel, which is successfully cooked and sold to balance the reward and risk.
Why should it be added?: To make it more attractive for players to cook meth and to make risk and reward more even.
Pros:
Cons:
Other additions:
A small cloud of grey smoke should appear above all meth barrels to indicate that the barrels are cooking (instead of the "danger" text). If you go too close, the smoke would make you high. After the 15 minutes, the smoke change to a clean white color. If the cooked meth is not picked up within 30 seconds, the smoke will turn black and the meth is burned (instead of the "burned" text). Explosions should only be caused if someone attempts to pick up any of the barrels while the meth is still cooking.

Pros:
- More ways for criminals to make money besides from growing - Perhaps encourage people not just to sit AFK in their bases.
- A more exciting way to interact with the criminal perspective of Perp.
Cons:
- Bigger lose if taken/confiscated.
