Welcome to Schedule 1, where your green empire starts with dirt. Glorious, money-making dirt. At the beginning of the game, you're a one-person Schedule 1 planting machine—juggling seeds, soil, water, and stress. But guess what? You don’t have to keep playing Farmer Manual 2025 forever. If you're wondering how to make your Schedule 1 farm run like a chill, Schedule 1 automated dream—keep reading. Here's everything you need to know about automating your Schedule 1 planting so you can kick back, mix strains, and let the machines (and your trusty Botanist) do the heavy lifting.

How To Schedule 1 Farm Faster In Early Game

Right after you're through the prologue and land in the main town, the hustle begins. You’ll quickly notice that farming eats up a LOT of your in-game hours. Watering every single pot, pouring soil manually. It’s cute for like five minutes, and then it just becomes plant babysitting.

But the hardware store? That’s your salvation. Location: Top-middle of the map — use Albert Hoover’s stash marker if you can’t find it. Once you step inside, you’re looking for two magic items:

• Pot Sprinkler – $200
• Soil Pourer – $300 These tools are the early game’s best quality-of-life upgrades for farming.

How they work

Just place them beside your planters. The Pot Sprinkler does exactly what it sounds like—it automatically adds water to your pots. It’s fully hands-off. As for the Soil Pourer, it still needs you to add soil into it manually, but once that’s done, it’ll dump the dirt into the pot with a single button press. Pro Tip: You’ll need to buy these gadgets for each plant. So if you’ve got 6 planters? That’s gonna sting your wallet a bit. But, what’s money for if not to avoid burnout?

Get Started

Now we’re talking full-blown plant mogul life. You’ve got better strains, bigger batches, and zero time to run around playing dirt fairy. That’s where the Botanist comes in. Where to find: Head to the warehouse (you’ll need access to it by this point in the game). Botanist Cost:

• $1,000 upfront (paid to Manny)
• $200 per day (to keep your green-thumbed employee on payroll) What they do: Your botanist can be assigned up to eight planters. Once everything is completed, and as long as the storage has soil, and seeds, the Botanist will:
• Plant the seeds
• Add soil
• Water the plants
• Harvest the finished product
• Drop it all neatly in the assigned storage Yes. It’s as Schedule 1 automated as it gets. Your job now:
• Keep the storage stocked
• Pay your employee
• Get back to the fun parts like crafting mixes or expanding your empire With a Botanist in your crew, your entire grow op becomes hands-off. It's so smooth that you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner.

Is It Worth Automating Early?

Absolutely. Even if you just start with one Pot Sprinkler and Soil Pourer combo, it saves enough time to double your early-game profits. Farming manually is a huge time sink, and in Schedule 1, time = cash. Start small with gadgets, then level up to the Botanist when you can afford it. That balance of automation and manual play is what makes the game’s progression feel so satisfying. And besides, why manually pour dirt when you can be the brains behind a thriving green empire?

FAQs

Can I use one Pot Sprinkler for multiple plants?

No! You’ll need to buy one for each individual planter. Same goes for the Soil Pourer.

Do I need to refill the Soil Pourer every time?

Yes, you’ll need to manually put soil into the Soil Pourer before it can auto-dump into your planter.

What happens if my Botanist runs out of seeds or soil?

They’ll stop working until the assigned storage is restocked. So keep it full if you want that smooth automation to keep running!
