Schedule 1 Bungalow Setup Guide (Full Automation)

The Bungalow is one of the earliest (and one of the smallest) properties you have access to in Schedule I, but with an eye for detail and some careful consideration, you can automate your entire operation there and earn enough money to upgrade relatively quickly. As you play through Schedule I, you'll have multiple opportunities to purchase a variety of different properties from Ray's Real Estate. Each property is ostensibly bigger and better equipped than the previous, but costs more money. Your eventual goal is to increase your real estate holdings, building a bigger operation that makes you richer more quickly.

One of your short-term goals, each time you buy a new property, should be to optimize its operations, ideally getting it to a state of full automation. In full automation, a property basically runs itself - your employees and dealers make and sell your product with functionally zero input from you, the player, so you're free to explore the world (including everything added in the April update) and enjoy your money any way you want. It may take a bit of trial and error to get to the point of full automation, though, and even then, problems may arise from time to time.

Best Bungalow Setup For Full Automation

An Overview

You can buy the Bungalow from Ray's for $6,000, and can fit up to five employees inside at a time. You'll want to use one of its three rooms as a bedroom - the northernmost room is perfect. It can fit six beds - one for yourself - fairly comfortably. You may also be able to squeeze a couple of storage racks in there, but you don't need them from the moment you buy the bungalow. If you're low on cash, you can always buy some later.

Movie Games believes Schedule 1 is too similar to their hit Drug Dealer Simulator series, and they want those similarities to be investigated.

We'll be setting up the Bungalow as a weed operation, which should be pretty accessible to you at this early stage of the game. It's possible to turn this property into a meth lab instead, but I'd recommend waiting until you can afford a little more expenditure and a little extra space to switch over into a full meth operation.

You'll want to place moisture-preserving pots all throughout the other corner room. Start with eight to ten; you can always add more later. Place a suspension rack above each one, and mount a grow light on each of them. Place a trash can near the center of the room for easy access. Add mixing stations wherever you can spare the space; you can place them in front of shelves, and the workers can still access both.

Make sure you leave ample room for yourself and your employees to move throughout the Bungalow. I recommend three rows of pots and grow lights: one against each wall perpendicular to the door, and an aisle in the middle.

Finally, you'll want to turn your kitchen into a sort of makeshift storage and packing space. Place storage shelves two deep on the walls next to the doors if you want; this can wait until later if you're anxious to get started, or would rather save up before buying more supplies. Put a packaging station in the middle of the room.

This entire setup should cost about $12,000, depending on how many pots and shelves you choose to start with. It should pay for itself (and then some) in the first week or so of operation.

How To Assign Employees & Supplies

Who To Hire & Where To Put Them

Before you hire anyone, spend some time placing all the supplies you'll need intuitively. In other words, keep seeds, soil, and fertilizer near the grow room, jars and bags near the packing room, and whatever mixing ingredients you want for your preferred strain right next to your mixing stations.

Now, you can start bringing in some employees. To begin with, you'll want at least one botanist, one chemist, one cleaner, and one handler. Assign the cleaner to the garbage can you placed in the grow room, and give the botanist all the supplies they'll need, in addition to all the grow pots in the room. Assign the chemist to the mixing machines, and the handler to each of the mixing stations.

You can assign one worker to multiple stations by holding shift while you click on them.

In this state, you'll have to help out a bit by keeping jars and bags moving to and from the packing station. However, once you can afford it, you can hire a second handler to do that job, thereby achieving full automation.

With that, your drug operation should basically run itself, as long as you keep your employees paid. I recommend paying them in advance whenever you can to avoid any unexpected disruptions. But as long as you keep everything running smoothly, this setup will help you make lots of cash in Schedule I.
