## Lean Production

Lean is a drug production job for the **Lean Producer** (`/leanproducer`). Mix ingredients in a barrel, shake it, fill cups, and sell them to a Broker.

Criminal Activity

Lean production is illegal. Police can raid your base. Build somewhere secure.

## Common Problems

### Barrel won't mix

**Cause:** Not all ingredients are filled.

**Solution:** Check the ingredient menu (press E). You need all 4 ingredients at their required amounts.

### Shaking doesn't register

**Cause:** You're not swinging fast or far enough, or you're spinning one way.

**Solution:** Swing the barrel hard and turn back the other way each stroke. Let go of the arrow keys. The screen tells you "Turn back the other way" when that's the problem.

### Cups won't fill

**Cause:** Mixing isn't complete yet, or the batch's 4 cups are already poured.

**Solution:** Wait for the barrel to say it's ready to pour.

### The Broker won't buy my crate

**Cause:** You're too far away, or this Broker doesn't buy lean.

**Solution:** Find The Nurse or The Fence and get close before pressing E.

### Barrel destroyed

**Cause:** Barrel took too much damage.

**Solution:** Barrels have health and can be destroyed. Build in a secure location away from combat.
