How to Fully Automate Dock Warehouse in Schedule 1

The following details outline a highly efficient, semi-automated cocaine production setup within a “Schedule 1” context, focusing on maximizing output with minimal manual intervention in a dock warehouse and barn environment. This system, while not fully autonomous due to inherent limitations, aims for near hands-free operation across coca plant cultivation and cocaine processing stages, making it suitable for large-scale endeavors.

How to Fully Automate Dock Warehouse

This dock warehouse and barn setup is one of the most efficient semi-automated cocaine production builds currently achievable in Schedule 1. While some manual tasks remain, the majority of the system runs hands-free, making it ideal for large-scale operations.

Phase 1: Coca Plant Production Setup

Staffing Requirements

• 8 Botanists
  
• 1 Cleaner
  

Warehouse Layout

• Storage & Beds:
  
  • Overflow storage racks repurposed from a dismantled meth lab.
    
  • Four soil storage racks.
    
  • Eight drying racks for dried leaves, each paired with a dedicated output rack.
    
  • A total of 24 growing pots.
    
  • Sleeping quarters set up for all workers with a few spare beds included.
    

Automation Steps

1. Assign Botanists:
   
   • Each botanist is assigned to one soil supply rack.
     
   • Three pots are designated to each botanist to maintain efficient workload distribution.
     
2. Growing & Drying Workflow:
   
   • Each group of three pots is linked to a specific drying rack.
     
   • Botanists are assigned to their corresponding drying racks, ensuring harvested cocoa leaves are automatically transferred for drying.
     
3. Drying Rack Configuration:
   
   • All drying racks are set to “Quality: Gold”.
     
   • Dried leaves are then routed to the storage racks beside each drying unit.
     
4. Cleaner Setup:
   
   • The cleaner is assigned to manage three strategically placed bins that cover the entire workspace, ensuring cleanliness and efficiency.

Phase 2: Cauldron Cooking in the Barn

Required Equipment

• 8 Cauldrons
  
• 8 Labs
  
• 22 Storage Racks (Including overflow and future-proofing for brick pressing)
  

Staffing Requirements

• 8 Chemists
  
• 2 Handlers
  

Each chemist is assigned to:

• One cauldron
  
• One lab station
  
• One nearby bed
  

This one-to-one assignment maximizes processing speed and minimizes walking distance.

Handler Logistics

• Two handlers are used to transport gasoline from four large storage racks to the cauldrons.
  
• Each handler is assigned multiple routes to ensure all cauldrons receive the necessary fuel supply.
  

Production Routing

1. Cauldron to Lab:
   
   • Each cauldron is linked to the nearest lab station to streamline the transfer of processed cocoa paste.
     
2. Lab to Storage:
   
   • Lab output is directed to designated storage racks.
     
   • Overflow racks are placed nearby for manual transfer when necessary.
     

Limitations & Optimization Ideas

• Worker Limit: With a cap of 10 workers in the barn, full automation is limited. To improve this:
  
  • Chemists could potentially be assigned to multiple stations to free up space for additional handlers.
    
  • Additional handlers could automate overflow transfers.
    
• Manual Tasks:
  
  • Gasoline restocking is not automated but rarely needed due to the low consumption rate.
    
  • Overflow storage management and final mixing processes are still manual but may be optimized in future builds.
