Navigating the world of Schedule 1 can feel like a puzzle, especially with its unique controls and menu systems. As TechTalesLeo, I’ve dived deep into its mechanics, and one tool that initially stood out for its complexity—and sheer necessity—is the management clipboard. It might seem daunting at first, but mastering this clipboard is key to your operational success.
After many hours spent experimenting with employee assignments and station setups on behalf of Digital Tech Explorer, I’ve unraveled the intricacies of this vital organizational tool. Let’s break down everything you need to know to get your operations running smoothly.
Mastering the Management Clipboard in Schedule 1
Once you bring your first employee on board, you’ll unlock the management clipboard. This essential tool is your go-to for assigning staff to various stations and equipment crucial for their tasks. Beyond assignments, this clipboard also allows you to fine-tune the settings of individual stations, offering a deeper layer of control.
Upon unlocking, you’ll find the clipboard in the ninth slot of your inventory. Select it to equip it. Here’s the basic operational flow:
- Approach an employee and, with the clipboard active, click on the assignment category you wish to modify on their profile.
- Navigate to the desired station or item (like a bed or piece of equipment) and select it.
Return to the worker, and their new assignment should now be reflected on your clipboard, confirming the change.
Assigning Workers to Beds: The First Step
Before your newly hired employees can start contributing, they each need a designated bed. Without one, they’ll just linger outside your facility. You can purchase beds from Oscar at the warehouse for $150 a piece.
Using your clipboard, approach the new hire. You’ll see a ‘bed‘ assignment category on their profile; select it. Then, simply find an unoccupied bed and click on it to make the assignment. Voila! They have a place to rest. A crucial final touch: ensure their salary is placed in the designated box on their bed. Forgetting this step will send them back to loitering outside.
Directing Employees to Workstations
Assigning workers to a station follows a similar process to bed assignments: use the clipboard to interact with the employee, then select an available station. However, establishing an efficient workflow often involves additional steps, like integrating shelving units for item collection or deposit.
Different employee types interact with specific stations. While you likely hired them for a particular role, you can always verify their compatible stations by selecting them with your assignment tool. For instance, botanists can be assigned to pots and drying racks, sourcing supplies from storage racks. In contrast, cleaners might be assigned to bins.
Crucially, the clipboard isn’t just for employee assignments; it can also directly interact with stations. While you can direct a botanist from their profile to gather supplies and plant crops, using the clipboard directly on the pots offers more granular control, such as specifying additives. If you need a botanist to use a particular crop or additive, these specific instructions must be set at the station (e.g., the pot) itself, not through the worker’s individual assignment page.
By skillfully combining direct worker assignments with station-specific configurations, you can orchestrate a fully automated production line. Imagine: Botanists retrieve seeds, soil, and additives from a designated shelf, cultivate the crops, and then deposit the harvest onto another shelf. From there, a handler can transport the goods to a mixing station, where a chemist expertly combines them to produce new, more valuable strains. This level of automation is where mastering the clipboard truly pays off, a process we at Digital Tech Explorer love to optimize!
