Heatline (vf_drugs)
A crime economy that creates heat, not inflation.
The best crime systems do not just print money. They create pressure. Risk. Routes. Rivalries. Heatline is built for supply chains, processing, packaging, street pricing, and sinks that keep the underground economy alive without destroying the rest of the city.
The short answer
Heatline is a FiveM drug script and crime economy resource for servers that want configurable supply chains, processing, packaging, sale logic, and anti-inflation controls. It is designed to create criminal gameplay pressure without becoming an unlimited money printer — the failure mode that quietly kills more RP economies than any exploit does.

What it does
02 / 08Whole supply chains defined in config — grow plots, processing stations, packaging and sale points per drug; an invalid definition is rejected at boot with the exact file and field named
Three complete reference chains (weed, cocaine, meth) that double as templates you can rewrite end to end
Timed processing with bust risk, and street pricing that decays as a drug floods the market and recovers over time, inside a per-drug floor and ceiling
Anti-inflation built into the config surface: packaging-supply sinks, a laundering split that permanently drains a share of proceeds, and per-player daily sell caps
Every gram and every dollar validated and moved server-side in integer units, with concurrent double-submits rejected under a per-player lock
Optional integrations: the clean-deposit leg lands in MoneyTrail's audited ledger when it is installed (identical math runs as cash when it is not), and a heat event surface lets a separate police or dispatch resource react with no hard dependency

Captures come from our own test servers, HUD-off, 1920×1080. We never present concept art or mockups as gameplay.
Compatibility
04 / 08Declared support — exact tested versions publish with the release QA matrix.
Every Vice Drip resource talks to your framework through one open bridge module in VF Core — Qbox/ox_lib first-class, ESX Legacy via bridge, QBCore compat — with no hard framework dependency baked into the product. Swap frameworks; keep your stack.
Requirements
05 / 08- Version
- 1.1.0
- fx_version
- cerulean
- Lua
- 5.4 (lua54 'yes')
- Minimum artifact
- not declared by the manifest
Requirements are read from each resource's own fxmanifest.lua. We do not publish a minimum artifact build because none of our manifests declare one — run a current recommended artifact and Lua 5.4 will be available.
These come from the resource’s own manifest, not from a marketing sheet — the same file your server reads at start. If a dependency is missing, FiveM says so in the console and the resource does not start; nothing half-runs.

06 / 08Straight answers
07 / 08Can I create my own drug chains or am I stuck with the presets?
The three reference chains (weed, cocaine, meth) are fully re-configurable templates — plots, processing times, bust risk, pricing floors/ceilings, and money sinks are all config keys. You can rebuild the entire drug economy without touching code.
Will this inflate my server's economy?
It's built not to: live supply-demand street pricing, per-drug floors and ceilings, configurable money sinks (supply costs, laundering fees, street-sale cuts), and daily caps. All position and timing checks run server-side.
Does it integrate with VF Banking?
Optionally — an integration hook writes drug-economy cash flows through VF Banking's audited ledger when both are installed. It runs fine standalone too.
