In the complex and resource-driven environment of Schedule 1, efficient automation of the mixing process is crucial for maximizing production and streamlining workflows. This guide provides a step-by-step approach to automating mixing, detailing the roles of the Chemist and Handler, and outlining the necessary route configurations and station management to ensure a smooth and continuous production cycle. Whether dealing with simple or complex mixes, mastering these automation techniques is essential for optimizing output and achieving success within the game’s intricate system.
How to Automate Mixing
Automating mixing in Schedule 1 requires a Handler and a Chemist. Follow these steps to efficiently manage the process:
Step 1: Assign the Chemist to the Mixing Station
- Navigate to the Chemist’s assignment options.
- Select the Mixing Station as their designated task area.
Step 2: Set Up the Handler with Two Routes
- First Route
- Assign the Handler to transport the product from its storage location to the Mixing Station.
- Second Route
- Assign the Handler to transport mixers from a designated rack to the Mixing Station.
- This ensures that both products and necessary equipment are available for mixing.
Step 3: Mixing Process
- Once the Handler delivers the necessary items, the Chemist will begin mixing the products.
Step 4: Assign a Destination for the Mixed Product
- Use the “Manage Mixing Station” option to set the destination as the Packaging Station.
Step 5: Assign the Handler to the Packaging Station
- Ensure the Handler is responsible for moving the mixed product to the Packaging Station.
- If a new mix is discovered, check on the mixer after the process is complete to allow movement to the Packaging Station.
Step 6: Assign a Destination for Packaged Products
- Use “Manage Packaging Station” to designate where the packaged products should be transported.
Alternative Method: Direct Transfer from Production to Mixing Station
- Instead of using a Handler, set the Chemist to transfer products directly from their source to the Mixing Station.
- This method is efficient for simple mixes.
- The first method allows for multi-step mixes, making it suitable for more complex recipes.
Both methods are viable depending on your needs. By following these steps, you can streamline the mixing process and improve efficiency in the Schedule 1 game.
