This staff member is your golden ticket to large-scale production in Schedule 1, but getting them set up isn’t as easy as handing over a job application. Here’s your no-nonsense, step-by-step guide on how to use chemist Schedule 1, without losing your mind—or your cash flow.

Get Started

First things first: don’t go looking for a Schedule 1 Chemist when you’re still grinding out of your mom’s basement. You won’t unlock this high-level help until you hit Hoodlum V and get access to the illegal warehouse. Keep following the game’s main storyline, and soon enough, you’ll get introduced to Manny the Fixer—your gateway to staffing up.

How to Hire a Schedule 1 Chemist

Once you’re in the warehouse and chatting with Manny, you’ll get the option to hire all kinds of staff: Cleaners, Botanists, Handlers, and of course, Chemists. But don’t rush it. Chemists are pricey—we’re talking expensive to hire and expensive to maintain. So before throwing your hard-earned cash at them, make sure your drug empire has:

• A steady supply chain
• A decent bankroll
• And enough daily profit to cover their wage Still interested? Good. Because the Schedule 1 Chemist is essential for:
• Mix stations
• Chemistry tables
• Cooking stations They’ll take the pressure off your manual grind and help you scale production like a proper kingpin.

How to Use a Schedule 1 Chemist—now what?

Here’s how to get them set up and doing actual work:

1. Use the Management Clipboard This is the brain of your operation. You’ll find the Management Clipboard in your menu, and it's what you'll use to assign tasks to your Chemist. Click on them, open the clipboard, and choose which Schedule 1 chemist mixing station they should be working at.

2. Give Them a Bed No bed = no work. Every employee needs a place to crash. You can place the bed in any of your properties. Pro tip: Use a cheap motel room just for sleeping arrangements, and save your nicer properties for workstations and equipment. At the end of each bed is a briefcase. This is where you pay their daily wages. Forget to pay them, and they’ll stop working like it’s union protest day. Keep the briefcase stocked.

3. Connect Stations and Shelves You’ll need to connect the Chemist Schedule 1 to:

   • A storage shelf with all necessary ingredients
   • A mixing table, cooking station, or chemistry setup If they don’t have what they need, they won’t lift a finger. So make sure ingredients like Cuke, Gasoline, or whatever concoction you're working on is sitting on the assigned shelf. Want to boost efficiency? Pair your Chemist with a Handler. The Handler keeps shelves stocked with ingredients so the Chemist can keep cooking non-stop.

Why Isn’t My Chemist Working?

You’ve followed all the steps, but your Chemist is still just standing there like they’re waiting for a coffee break? Yeah, we’ve been there. Here’s a checklist: ⦁ Did you assign them properly in the Management Clipboard? ⦁ Do they have a bed and briefcase with cash? ⦁ Are the ingredients accessible on the right shelf? ⦁ Are they connected to the right station? If all of the above is good and they still won’t move, it might not be your fault. The Chemist can be a bit buggy, especially with Mixer Mark 1 and Mixer Mark 2. Try restarting your game—it’s annoying, but it works.
