Part 1: Employee Management System

๐Ÿข Hiring Your Workforce

To access employees, you need to:

  • Visit the Warehouse (only after 6:00 PM)
  • Reach Hustler level 5 rank

๐Ÿ”„ Combining Employees & Recipes for Max Profit

For ultimate optimization, create an automated production line:

  1. Use Botanists to grow OG Kush continuously
  2. Station Handlers to transport harvested product to mixing stations
  3. Employ Chemists at mixing stations creating your chosen recipe
  4. Configure additional Handlers to package finished products
  5. 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.

๐Ÿ’ก Optimization Steps

  1. Employee Efficiency: Ensure beds are placed close to work areas to minimize travel time
  2. Production Focus: Choose one recipe and perfect its production line rather than splitting resources
  3. Scaling Up: Begin with small batches (as shown in our 80g examples) then scale to larger production
  4. Reinvestment: Use initial profits to hire additional employees, expanding production capacity

๐Ÿ”ง 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 keyโ€”find the recipe that works best for your setup and focus on optimizing that production line.

โšก Expert Game-Changing Tips

๐Ÿ•“ Time Management

  • 4 AM Pause: Game time pauses at 4 AM, giving you unlimited time to catch up on tasks
  • Late Night Deals: Set all deals to "Late Night" for bonus money (curfew bonus) and pause time
  • Laundering Trick: Money laundering businesses continue processing at 4 AM

๐Ÿ’ฐ Money Making

  • Gold Bar Flipping: Convert online balance to gold bars at jewelry store (near Ray's Realty), then sell at pawn shop for profit
  • Dealer Supplies: More valuable individual items (expensive cocaine) make dealers earn more daily
  • Customer Timing: Customers have a cooldown (~8 hours) - you can trade with most 2-3 times per day

๐Ÿ›น Movement & Properties

  • Golden Skateboard: Skip vehicles, buy a golden skateboard from Shred Shack (top left) - faster than any car
  • Property Strategy: Get the Barn ($25K) before Docks ($50K) - similar functionality at half the price
  • Motel Room: Keep your first room with a bed for centralized rest/storage

๐Ÿ‘ฎ Police & Safety

  • Escape Method: Enter any property when police alert bar is decreasing to instantly lose them
  • Late Game Defense: Buy a gun from the warehouse to defend against police if necessary
