How to Get Employees in Schedule 1
To get started with getting employees in Schedule 1 you need to complete a mission called “Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy.” It is not too far into the game and leads to you getting yourself a warehouse in Schedule 1.
The warehouse gives you access to hiring new employees, weapons, and liquid products. You can hire the following employees in Schedule 1:
- Botanist
- Cleaner
- Chemist
- Handler
Daily Employee Costs in Schedule 1
- Botanist $200 per day
- Cleaner $100 per day
- Chemist $300 per day
- Handler $200 per day
Botanist
Botanists manage plant growth and provide resources at a daily rate of $200. The initial setup requires assigning them a bed and linking them to a supply shelf that contains seeds and soil.
A single Botanist can handle the growth of plants in 8 grow pods while you decide which seeds to use and any additional plant tweaks.
You can let Botanists choose where to store the ready plants or they can store them on a designated rack. The Botanist team operates without extra equipment because they already have clippers as part of their package.
Cleaner
The workspace organization and efficiency depends heavily on Cleaners who perform their duties.
Cleaners work for $100 each day to remove trash from designated areas which helps create a more organized and efficient environment for mixing in Schedule 1.
You can set up a Cleaner by assigning them a bed then linking them to nearby trash cans. After receiving their assignment the Cleaners will manage all trash that falls within their operational range.
Chemist
Production depends on Chemists who earn the highest daily rate of $300 yet deliver the most value to the operation. After placing them in their bed ensure they are connected to both chemistry sets and lab ovens.
Every station needs a specific recipe and a target destination like moving substances from chemistry sets to ovens.
Make sure to provide an output rack for the final product during the manufacturing process.
Handler
The Handler position costs $200 each day to manage product transfers between storage facilities and packaging stations.
The assigned Handler will work with a maximum of three packaging stations.
Storage rack to packaging station routes requires setup so your organizational skills will be tested while managing each employee in Schedule 1.
Auto-packing machines perform this task with equal efficiency so hiring a Handler becomes unnecessary unless your operation has excessive workload.
How to Assign and Pay Employees in Schedule 1
After hiring your first employee in Schedule 1 you will receive the Management Clipboard which you will need to assign tasks.
To assign tasks to your workers you need to stand board while pressing 9 (on the hotbar) on your keyboard followed by E to access the assignment menu. Before assigning specific tasks you need to give each worker a bed.
You can pay your workers by interacting with the briefcase located at the end of their beds and in this briefcase you can add their daily wages.
Paying workers ahead of time by a few days helps decrease daily management needs and maintains operational efficiency.
