The Mind Flayer Ship — Schedule I Walkthrough

Character Creation & Initial Quests: After a cutscene, customize your character. You'll spawn near the bus station and receive the 'Getting Started' quest. Open your phone ('Tab'), read messages, and go to the payphone to talk to 'U.N.' (Uncle Nelson). He'll direct you to fetch his stash near the skatepark, containing $375.

Renting a Motel Room: Speak to the motel manager, Donna. The quest updates to 'Rent a motel room'. After dialogue, you can pickpocket Donna to steal back the $75 needed for the room. Enter room 1 to complete the objective. Return to the payphone to speak with Uncle Nelson again.

Buying Equipment: A new questline, 'Gearing Up', begins. Go to the hardware store (marked by a yellow star on the map, or by walking forward from your room, turning left at the road's end). The quest directs you to deposit cash at the ATM and purchase a grow tent, soil bag, and watering can. It's recommended to also buy 'Plant Trimmers', a 'Packaging Station', and 10 'Baggies'. If you tell Dan at the hardware store you're a drug dealer, he may give you 'Speed Grow'.

Planting Seeds: Return to your motel room, place the grow tent, and add soil to the pot. Go back to the payphone to speak with Uncle Nelson, who introduces Albert Hoover. Open your phone and message Albert to order seeds. Purchase 'OG Kush' (or other available seeds). Albert will deliver them to a highlighted 'Dead Drop' location. Pick up the seed and sow it in the grow tent. Water the plant using the watering can (fill it at the sink).

Harvesting & Packaging: Once the plant is fully grown (approx. 15% growth per in-game hour), use the 'Plant Trimmers' on the grow tent to harvest the buds. Place the 'Packaging Station' and use it to package the buds into baggies.
