Yeah Curing Shed is still a massive problem, it literally reduces my food storage capacity and I can't expand it. With the upgrade to remove food costs from most buildings it's one of the few that STILL use food and thus I can't expand or upgrade it OR my food production.
Yeah gotta agree with Diggy here, your Junior Execs are entirely useless. The "upgrades" don't affect your success chance in the slightest, and frankly the 50% chance feels more like 75%.
And I get that this is an old game and won't be updated, which is a real shame.
Narcotics seems like the worst industry at the moment. Most towns I go to show that other towns are cheaper for narcotics and when I reach a town that has like -1k+ lower narcotics prices, somehow it's STILL more expensive than the town I came from. I've only really done it once or twice but the profit margins are weak compared to Bronze or Silver.
