The Production Process
Adding Ingredients
Place your Barrel — Find a secure spot
Press E on the barrel — Opens the ingredient menu
Buy all 4 ingredients — Sprite, Codeine, Jolly Ranchers, and Ice
Fill to the required amounts — Check the UI for how much you need
Ingredients Required:
- Sprite — The base liquid
- Codeine — The active ingredient
- Jolly Ranchers — For flavor
- Ice — Keeps it cold
You must fill ALL ingredients before mixing can start. Partial batches won't work.
Common Problems
Cause: Not all ingredients are filled.
Solution: Check the ingredient menu (Press E). You need ALL 4 ingredients at their required amounts.
Cause: Not moving the barrel fast enough.
Solution: Swing the barrel HARD with your physgun. Gentle movements don't count. Listen for the "ping" sound.
Cause: Mixing isn't complete yet.
Solution: Wait for the barrel to open. The visual state changes when the lean is ready.
Cause: Standing too far away.
Solution: Get closer to the Buyer NPC. You need to be within range for the sale to work.
Cause: Barrel took too much damage.
Solution: Barrels have health and can be destroyed. Build in a secure location away from combat.
Cause: Pocket sell mode resets on death.
Solution: Sell frequently. Don't carry large amounts in your virtual inventory.
