The Lab Oven is an essential asset in Schedule 1, empowering you to elevate your business operations.
In the production of both Meth and Cocaine, the Lab Oven plays a pivotal role. This guide will comprehensively cover everything you need to know about it, including purchasing instructions.
How to Purchase the Lab Oven in Schedule 1
Initially, the Lab Oven is locked, requiring players to level up significantly. The first step involves gaining access to the Warehouse by completing the main questline. As you level up, Uncle Nelson will inform you about the Warehouse.
Inside the Warehouse, you’ll encounter three vendors, with Oscar offering the Lab Oven. To transact with Oscar or the other vendors, visit between 6 PM and 6 AM. Oscar provides a variety of illicit workstations, including the Lab Oven and Cauldron.
After purchasing the Lab Oven, it will appear in your hot bar. Navigate to your base of operations, select the Oven from your hot bar, and position it appropriately.
How to Operate the Lab Oven in Schedule 1
The Lab Oven is user-friendly, processing one ingredient at a time. Once you produce raw material for Meth or Cocaine, add it to your inventory. Select the Lab Oven and open its door. Insert the raw material into the tray and close the door.
You’ll need to wait some time for the cooking process to finish. Afterward, open the oven door to retrieve the finished product, which will be displayed on a tray. Use a hammer to break the items into individual pieces and add them to your inventory.
Next, head to the Packaging station to prepare the items for sale by placing them into baggies or jars. With your products listed, expect a steady stream of client orders.
For more efficiency, consider automating the process by hiring a Chemist. Chemists can operate workstations like Lab Ovens and Cauldrons, while a Handler is required for Packaging Stations, Brick Press, and other processes.
Alternatively, the cooked Meth or Cocaine can be used at a Mixing Station to develop new strains. Additional Mixers are needed, but the resulting strains often yield higher sale prices. Experiment with various recipes for better profit margins.
