InSchedule 1, you have to make the products yourself and then sell them to your customers all over Hyland City. As you make progress in the game, you will unlock more customers, and you’ll also have to step up your production if you plan to meet the expectations of all your customers.
The best way to increase your productivity during the mid-game is to automate the cooking process. Having chemists cook up meth can save you a lot of time, which can then be used to make mixes or deal with customers.

How To Automate Meth Production
The best way to automate cooking is to set upmultiple chemistry ovens and lab ovens. You’ll need three to four chemistry stations and lab ovens, depending on the space available to you on your property.
After you’ve placed the chemistry stations and lab ovens, you’ll have toget the required products to cook up meth. Meet up with Shirley Watts, the supplier in Westville, and purchase 30 to 40 pseudos, depending on the number of chemistry stations that you have currently set up.

Once you’ve done that, you’ll need to purchase the same amount of acid and phosphorus.Put ten units of pseudo, acid, and phosphorus into each chemistry station.
You’ll have to manually put the pseudo, acid, and phosphorus on the chemistry stations each time you run out of them.

After taking care of the ingredients,you’ll have to head to Manny inside the warehouse to hire two chemists. Each chemist can handle four stations of any kind, and that’s why you’ll need two of them at first.
Give each chemist a bed and put their daily wages in the briefcases on their beds. Now,assign four chemistry stations to one chemist, and the four lab ovens to the other. You’ll need to equip the clipboard and approach the chemist to open their management menu to assign them their stations.

After assigning the stations, you’ll have to pull out the clipboard again, but this time, you’ll have tohead to the chemistry station and open the management menu. From here, you’ll have to assign a recipe to the chemistry station, which would be the meth recipe in our case. After that,in the destination option, select one of the lab ovens.
Do that for each chemistry station, and the chemist that you’ve assigned to them will start working. Now, it’s time to head to the lab ovens with the clipboard. Once you open a lab oven’s management menu, you’ll have toselect one of the storage shelves on your property as the destination.

Now, you only have to wait, and the chemists will automatically cook up the meth anddeliver it to your assigned storage shelves.
How To Automate Cocaine Production
The process is slightly different for cooking up cocaine. Here, you’ll also need tohire a botanist to manage and grow coca plants. First, you’ll have to set up a plantation system to grow coca leaves out of coca seeds.
A botanist will make the job easy as they’ll be able to deliver the coca leaves directly to a storage shelf or to the cauldron, depending on what you’ve set as the destination for the plant pot. Now, you’ll need toput 20 cans of gasoline in each cauldron, in case you’ve set up multiple of those.
You’ll have to manually put the gasoline in each cauldron.
Now, hire a chemist and assign the cauldrons to it. The chemist will cook the coca leaves to produce base cocaine.Select the lab ovens as the destination of the outputon each cauldron so the chemist working on them can deliver the output product directly to the lab ovens when it finishes cooking.
Hire another chemist and assign the lab ovens to them. From here,the process is similar to meth, as you have to assign a storage shelf as the destination for the output and the chemist will cook base cocaine and deliver the output to any of the shelves or stations that you have assigned as the destination.
If you’re only using one cauldron and a lab oven to cook cocaine, you can make do with hiring only one chemist and assigning the cauldron and the lab oven both to them.
