If you’re exhausted from acting like a factory worker in your own empire, it’s time to embrace automation. With Schedule 1, you can streamline the entire mixing and packaging process using just a few essential tools and employees. Here’s how to set up a seamless, efficient production loop.
What You’ll Need
Before automating your process, make sure you have:
- 1 Handler
- 1 Chemist
- Mixing Station
- Oven (required for more advanced products)
- Packaging Station
- At least 2 Storage Racks
- Management Clipboard
Once you’ve gathered everything, you’re set to leave manual work behind.
Step-by-Step Automation Setup
1. Assign Your Staff
- Use the Management Clipboard to assign a Handler to the Packaging Station.
- Assign a Chemist to the Mixing Station.
- If working with advanced mixes, also assign the Chemist to an Oven placed next to the Mixing Station.
2. Set Up Routes
Using Clipboard > Routes, configure the following:
- The Handler moves ingredients from a supply rack to the Mixing Station.
- The Mixing Station outputs to the Oven (Chemist handles this step).
- The Oven transfers the finished mix to a product rack.
- The Handler retrieves the product
3. Keep It Stocked
Your only responsibility is to keep the ingredient rack filled with the necessary materials for the mix. Once that’s done, the system runs on its own.
How It Works
The handler moves ingredients to the mixing station, where the chemist processes them. If needed, the chemist also finishes the mix in the oven. The completed product is then transferred to a storage rack. From there, the handler bags it at the packaging station before placing the final product in storage, ready for sale.
Conclusion: Once everything is up and running, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it. As long as your ingredient racks stay stocked, your staff will handle the rest. Want to take things to the next level? Set up multiple production loops for different products and let the profits roll in while you focus on expanding—or enjoying some time at the casino.
