Schedule 1 is the hot new game on Steam right now. And despite being in Early Access, it already has a ton of features. From growing to mixing product, there’s a lot to learn. One of the first, and most important, lessons is how to properly improve your product. Now only are things like Fertilizer or better quality pots a good investment, but there’s steps to processing your grown product that can help a lot. The drying rack in Schedule 1 is one of those vital items.
Be sure to check out some of our other Schedule 1 guides to learn every tip when it comes to growing your new empire! For now, let’s keep reading to learn more!
How To Use Drying Rack in Schedule 1
The drying rack in Schedule 1 is a pretty easy to use item. You just put grown product into it and it passively upgrades its base quality.
The five rarity tiers of product are:
- Trash (Dark red ★)
- Poor (Green ★)
- Standard (Blue ★)
- Premium (Pink ★)
- Heavenly (Gold ★)
So, first you need to unlock it. The Drying Rack can be purchased from Oscar inside the warehouse for $250.
Once you have it, place it down like any other piece of lab equipment. Any product placed into it will upgrade over time. You can let it run all the way to Heavenly, but if you want to stop it sooner, click the red X icon on the product inside the rack’s UI. So far, you can dry both buds and coca leaves in the racks.
And once again, don’t rush into making higher quality product when you don’t need to. Check the Contacts app in your phone and look at your customers. Each customer has a standard of quality they prefer, and you can get away with giving the bare minimum if you’re short on time or cash. It’s not a bad idea to assign the lower-quality customers to your basic dealers, and dump the cheaper product on them. This way, you can focus all your time on making a product that will sell to your most demanding clients.
You can also technically use a Drying Rack in Schedule 1 as a storage for the next batch of product you wish to dry. When a current batch is drying, the Input slot will open up, go ahead and place the next batch there while the current batch dries.
Dry and Store Product in Drying Racks
Additionally, you can also assign the dry racks to botanists, and they will hang the coca leaves or buds automatically, speeding up production. Use the Clipboard you unlock later in the game to set desired Quality levels of any product in a given Rack.
