In Schedule 1, you’ll need to produce your products and sell them throughout Hyland City. As you advance in the game, you’ll unlock more customers, which means increasing your production capacity to meet their demands.
One effective way to boost your productivity during the mid-game is to automate the cooking process. Employing chemists to handle meth production can save you valuable time, allowing you to focus on mixing or managing customer interactions.
How To Automate Meth Production
The most efficient way to automate the cooking is by establishing multiple chemistry ovens and lab ovens. Aim for three to four of each, depending on how much space you have available.
Once you’ve set up your chemistry stations and lab ovens, you must procure the necessary ingredients for meth production. You can find Shirley Watts in Westville, who can supply you with around 30 to 40 pseudos, based on how many stations you’ve set up.
After securing the pseudos, buy an equal quantity of acid and phosphorus. Load ten units of pseudo, acid, and phosphorus into each chemistry station.
Next, you will need to visit Manny in the warehouse to hire two chemists. Each chemist can operate up to four stations, which is why you need two for your setup. Provide beds for them and deposit their daily wages into the briefcases located on their beds. Assign one chemist to four chemistry stations and the other to the lab ovens.
Using the clipboard, interact with the chemists to open their management menus and assign them their stations. Then repeat this process at the chemistry station to designate the meth recipe as the production method and choose one of the lab ovens as the destination for the output.
Now do the same for each chemistry station; once assigned, the chemists will begin their work. Next, use the clipboard again at the lab ovens to select a storage shelf as the destination for the finished product.
Now all you have to do is wait while the chemists automatically produce meth and deposit it into your assigned storage.
How To Automate Cocaine Production
The process for cocaine production is a bit different. You will first need to hire a botanist to cultivate coca plants. Set up a plantation system to grow coca leaves from seeds, which the botanist will manage.
The botanist will either deliver the coca leaves directly to a storage shelf or the cauldron, depending on your chosen destination for the plants. Make sure to supply 20 cans of gasoline to each cauldron, especially if you have set up multiple cauldrons.
After that, hire a chemist to handle the cauldrons. They will process the coca leaves into base cocaine. Set the lab ovens as the output destination for each cauldron, allowing the chemist to deliver the finished product directly to the lab ovens.
Next, bring on another chemist to oversee the lab ovens. The procedure is similar to meth production, where you will assign a storage shelf as the destination for the output. This way, the chemist will produce base cocaine and place it into the specified storage locations.
