๐ Combining Employees & Recipes for Max Profit
For ultimate optimization, create an automated production line:
- Use Botanists to grow OG Kush continuously
- Station Handlers to transport harvested product to mixing stations
- Employ Chemists at mixing stations creating your chosen recipe
- Configure additional Handlers to package finished products
- Keep a Cleaner maintaining all work areas
Strategic Tip: Start with the Extreme recipe (lowest cost) while establishing your operation. Once cash flow improves, switch to OG Dick for maximum profits.
๐ก Optimization Steps
- Employee Efficiency: Ensure beds are placed close to work areas to minimize travel time
- Production Focus: Choose one recipe and perfect its production line rather than splitting resources
- Scaling Up: Begin with small batches (as shown in our 80g examples) then scale to larger production
- Reinvestment: Use initial profits to hire additional employees, expanding production capacity
๐ง Troubleshooting Common Issues
If your production isn't running smoothly:
- Idle Employees: Check bed assignments and wage payments
- Mixing Errors: Verify ingredient order precisely (even minor changes create different products)
- Supply Chain Issues: Ensure handlers have clear routes between stations
- Product Quality: Confirm all ingredients are fresh and properly stored
With these employee strategies and mixing recipes, you'll build a profitable operation in Schedule 1 even with limited starting capital. Remember that consistency is keyโfind the recipe that works best for your setup and focus on optimizing that production line.
