Dinosaur Fossil Hunter is a story telling simulator where you play as paleontologist, exploring different lands and searching for dinosaur fossil. Search, dig, study uncovered fossils and prepare the skeletons to learn about extinct species and build your own.
We’re more than one month after the release of the Drug Dealer Simulator, and we’re launching a first big update!
As we’ve seen, there were a lot of suspicions, what content will be included in the first update from “The Next Steps” list. Now we can officially reveal that most of those suspicions were correct!
Prepare your garden pots and watering cans, because Weed Growing launches in Drug Dealer Simulator!
Bring your business managing on a whole new level! Plant both indoor and outdoor seeds from various strains and take care of them to maximise the harvest. Produce wholesale amounts of your own product and choose the right process and strain combination to maximise profit!
Important information: Growing weed is available from level 15, so if you didn't get a notification - don't worry! Just reach the level 15 or load the game with this or higher lvl, and you can start practicing your gardening skills ;)
The Weed Growing Update is a part of Patch 1.0.5.2, that also includes many improvements and fixes to many known bugs and issues, including performance. We’re also implementing the Japanese language! More translations are on their way and will come to the game very soon ;)
Here's a full list of news, changes, fixes, and improvements:
WHAT’S NEW: - Added the marijuana growing mechanics. From now on you will be able to grow your own plants. The mechanic is being unlocked after reaching level 15 or after loading a game where you already have level 15 or higher. - New salesman selling marijuana seeds for both outdoor and indoor production - New hideout equipment for marijuana production available in the furniture store after unlocking the new mechanics - Added refillable bottles of water that can be bought on the gas station - Added new music to the game a new Two Towers song as well as several new tracks for the surroundings - Added Japanese localization to the game
BUG FIXES: - Fixed a bug where in a DEA raid not all of the equipment or furniture were purged from the apartment with random unpredictable results - Fixed a bug where Keiji gang deliveries were marked on the middle of the map. We managed to create a retro-active script that finds the issue, removes invalid dead drop data and reconstructs the task for a valid dead drop. The script works on load. Managed to test in out on a saved game delivered from the community - Fixed a bug where rented hideout map markers where getting duplicated. In some cases, this may have caused performance issues - Fixed an issue where the policemen or police dogs could get blocked in a downtown passage below a building - Fixed a bug where some of the wall or ceiling objects could be placed in odd spots and glitching windows - Fixed a bug where some shelves could be stored without removing products off them - Fixed a bug with bad asia area unlock status not being displayed on the world map - Fixed a bug where the Domination task (unlock all areas and hideouts) did not get checked. For saved games the task will get checked around 15 seconds after the saved game is loaded if the criteria are met - Fixed few additional issues caused by duplicating object instances causing increased save game size and load times, performance drops etc. The fix is applied on load, so first time loading may still take time, but re-saving the game after will make the saved game get back to normal - Fixed a bug where the police could sometimes walk without rotating their direction - Fixed a bug where sometimes when quickly storing a freshly placed furniture could make it data to corrupt
GLITCHES AND CORRECTIONS: - Fixed some of the paths where policemen or police dogs could get blocked by customers - Fixed minor map pathways and blockers - Fixed a few spots where NPC’s could get glitched
OPTIMIZATION: - Optimized lighting and shadow casting settings both for all dynamic and static world objects highly improving performance both for day and night - Improved map configuration, draw distance settings and more to reduce draw calls - Improved on CPU usage issue removing CPU overheat problems - Optimized code side operations and limited their count - Removed instance duplication errors, that could end up with performance drops and lags
We hope you enjoy the new update! It's quite big - includes new content, and also improvements, changes, and fixes, and that’s why we’ll also need your feedback to make the best Weed Growing system!

Patch 1.0.4.11 - Hotfix on way
Hey dealers,
We’ve received reports from you about the problems with performance, lags, and other issues that appeared after patch 1.0.4.11.
Thanks to your feedback and provided save files, we’ve managed to locate a memory leak in one of the classes. We’ve already fixed the issue and preparing a hotfix that will remove it as well, as all the duplicated classes and loops after loading the save files.
We’ll launch the fix as fast as we finish the last tests. The issue does not affect the save files, so they won't be lost. Thank you for your patience, and keep your eye on the upcoming fix.

PATCH 1.0.4.11 - FULL LIST OF FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS
Hi dealers,
As we promised in the last week, a new patch is up now! Except the fixes and improvements we’ve mentioned in the last announcement, we've also managed a few additional ones ;)
Here's a new, updated list of fixes and improvements:
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug where the laBallena gang reputation raise was glitched and prevented from progressing - Fixed a bug where Gustavo could rarely disappear making the player unable to check out the money retrieval task. Pending tasks in the cases of no Gustavo on the map should now automatically get checked at load - Fixed a bug where in some circumstances backpack content could disappear when put into a container - Added a respawn script for all furniture types at load. This is a potential fix for the issue where some players experience disappearing furniture. We were unable to recreate this issue on our side to 100% test this fix out. - Added a fixing script for door glitched in the middle of the map in the street with a gang delivery marker set on them. The script should remove the door and reconstruct a new drop destination after load. We were unable to recreate this bug on our side so far to test this solution out 100%. - Fixed a bug where the small electric mixer had different capacity than stated in the shop - Fixed a glitch where the coffee grinder had it’s contents glitching outside the model - Fixed a bug where the police voice and some other environment sounds where muffled - Fixed a bug where you were able to throw your backpack after being tased by the police - Fixed a bug and potential exploit where the shop cancel and clear not always worked leaving some items in the inventory - Fixed a bug where some of the graphics settings were reset after restarting the game - Fixed a bug where the POLICE SEARCH sign could re-appear after being stopped or loading a game during a search - Fixed A.I. navigation issues on the map, including the police checkpoints - Fixed a problem with money laundering quantity input widget - Fixed collision for the desks and tables where accidentally dropping an item under them made it impossible to pick up - Minor UI, inventory, police A.I. tweaks and changes
New features and changes:
- Added gang leveling. From now on, you can go further with the gang reputation and grow their orders even bigger. We are planning on adding additional features for gang levels - Added a averaging algorithm for the clients. From now on you can sell multiple batches at once to one client. The client will buy a batch mix if the items are not too radically different (eg. 1g cocaine, and 4x1g packs of pure baking soda) and the clients later satisfaction from the product will be calculated out of the delivered products property averages. OD chance id dictated by the most toxic batch in the package. - Improved police difficulty and perception at night for both normal and hard modes
Optimisation: - Greatly increased lighting performance reducing GPU usage and possibly reducing computer overheat. Especially for nighttime - Added tweaks and changes for NPC animation scripts that may reduce high CPU usage for some of the players
Also, we’ve just started working on the next patch that will be available very soon. Thank you for your support and all your reports. If you notice any issue that you think we don’t know about - you can let us know on Steam Discussion page in a proper tab or on our Official Discord Server: https://discord.gg/yW6mSad

Patch 1.0.4.11 Coming Soon! List of the Upcoming Fixes and Improvements
Hi Dealers!
We won’t interrupt your “business activities” ;) We want to let inform you about the current status of our work on the next fixes.
Patch 1.0.4.11 is on its way. Right now, we’re analyzing and working on reported issues. Those work wouldn’t get as fast as now without your help, and we want to thank you for that! <3
Patch will launch at the beginning of the next week as soon as we finish the last tests of the implemented changes. After that, we’ll start preparing the the next patch, which will be available soon after.
Here's a list of fixes and changes coming with Patch 1.0.4.11:
Bugs already fixed: - Fixed a bug, where raising Ballena’s gang reputation was blocked and the player could not reach the 500 respect task - Applied a furniture and workstation respawner, that resets all the furniture model states after loading or starting a new game. This should fix the issue where some players experienced furniture disappearing from their saved games - Fixed a bug where you could potentially meet with gang money delivery men multiple times asking for money - Fixed a bug where in some rare cases Gustavo would disappear from the map, making it impossible to check out the cash delivery task. The fix is retroactive and should work in most cases - Fixed a bug where there were input problems with the cash launder widget - Fixed a bug, where The small electric mixer had different capacity than stated in the store - Fixed a bug where the police voices and some other sound FX were muffled (had a low-pass filter applied, even if not behind an obstacle) - Fixed a bug, where you could throw away a backpack after you’ve been tased by the police - Fixed a bug and potential exploit where clearing/canceling shop sale was not working properly - Fixed colliders for the desks and workstation table, where you could not pick up items dropped on the floor below them - Fixed multiple minor and major issues concerning the inventory, backpacks and containers
New features/improvements: - Added markers for the rented hideouts appearing on the map - Corrected quick hint screen position so it does not cover essential information on the screen - Added an average algorithm to the sales, allowing for selling a combination of different drug mixes and drug batches to clients
Optimization: - Fixed an issue where some of the graphics settings were reset after starting up the game - Added improvements to the CPU and GPU usage as well as some lighting optimization for better performance.
We are currently working on: - Fixing major and minor issues with the police considering improving police behavior, chase and control bugs etc. - Fixing issues regarding DEA raids - Fixing issues regarding dead drops and dead drop markers - Fixing issues regarding checking out some tasks in the game - Minor gang cooperation improvements
We are also gathering some more feedback from the community and will try to put as many fixes and improvements in Patch as we can before its release.
We’ll announce the release of the patch with a full list of the implemented changes. If you notice any problem with the game you think, we don’t know about it yet, feel free to report it on Steam Discussion in a proper tab or on our Discord server: https://discord.gg/yW6mSad
