DDS2 Meth Recipe: Cook Your First Batch (Step-by-Step)
The DDS2 Datamine v2 (drugdealersim.com) catalogs 73 substances. Meth starts at POT 0.88 (pure). The first cook is straightforward once you know the ingredient chain: ephedrine -> compound -> purify -> cut.
Step 1: Source the Ingredients
Based on the DDS2 Datamine v2 (verified via drugdealersim.com wiki and Steam FAQ guide):
| Icon | Ingredient | Source | Toxicity |
|---|---|---|---|
Dds2 | Ephedrine (EPHE) | Pharmacy | 0.1 (low) |
| Iodoric Acid (HI) | Chemical supplier | 0.6 (medium) | |
| Methylamine (METHYL) | Farm supply | 0.6 (medium) | |
| Ammonia (AMMONIA) | Hardware store | 0.4 (medium) | |
| Water | Any vendor | 0.0 (none) |
Do NOT use gasoline or methanol as substitutes. The Datamine confirms TOX: 0.9 for both -- you will poison your customer base rapidly.
Step 2: Create the Compound
The Datamine lists METH-COMP (Methamphetamine Compound) as:
- Type: Fluid
- Ingredients: Ephedrine + Iodoric Acid + Methylamine + Ammonia + Water
- TOX: 0.3 | POT: 1.03
- Status: Work-in-progress, needs purification
Step 3: Purify to Powdered Meth
Purifying the compound produces METH-POWDER (Powdered Methamphetamine):
- Type: SolidPowder
- POT: 0.88 (reduced from compound's 1.03 due to purification loss)
- STR: 1.4 (strength multiplier affects perceived quality)
- TOX: 0.3 (toxicity remains moderate)
- This is the base product before cutting
Step 4: Cut for Profit Margin
The Datamine documents cutting agents and their effects. Use low-TOX agents to maximize profit without losing customers:
| Cutting Agent | Effect | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Sugar | No effect, no toxicity | Pure volume increase |
| Flour | No effect, no toxicity | Best price-to-volume |
| Salt | STR: 1.05, no toxicity | Quality preservation |
| Cough Syrup | POT: 1.01, ADD: 0.1 | Potency boost |
| Migraine Medicine | POT: 1.01, ADD: 0.1 | Potency boost |
The Datamine's key finding: "Use low-TOX cutting agents like flour, sugar, or salt to maximize profit without losing customers." A customer who dies from toxic product is a permanent loss of revenue.
Profitability Comparison
| Quality Level | Yield per Batch | Retail Value | Customer Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pure (POT 0.88) | Base | High | Good |
| Cut with flour | +30% volume | Medium | Excellent (low tox) |
| Cut with gas | +50% volume | Low | Poor (customers die) |
| "Smurf Dope" (POT 0.95) | Special recipe | Highest | Best (requires Casino DLC) |
