Best Schedule 1 Cocaine Mix Recipes

Producing the base Cocaine mix involves several steps, starting with unlocking the necessary supplier and then following a specific production process:

1. Unlock Supplier: Players must first gain access to Salvador Moreno. He is located in the Docks, the fourth region of the map. Unlocking him requires befriending either Mac Cooper or Javier Perez and repaying specific debts located behind the Church in that area. Salvador supplies Coca Seeds, the starting point for the Cocaine mix.  
2. Grow Coca Plants: Coca plants are grown similarly to cannabis in the Schedule 1 game. Players need a grow tent, soil, Coca Seeds, grow lights, and regular watering. There is only one type of coca plant. When mature, the harvest yields Coca Leaves. Bulk farming is recommended as the processing requires a significant number of leaves per batch.  
3. Process Coca Leaves: This requires specific equipment and follows two main steps:
   • Equipment: Cauldron, Lab Oven.
   • Step 1: Base Extraction: At the Cauldron, combine Coca Leaves (x20) with Gasoline (x1) (acting as a solvent). This produces Cocaine Base, an unrefined intermediate product.
   • Step 2: Refinement: Place the Cocaine Base into the Lab Oven. The heat evaporates the remaining solvents, transforming the base into the final Cocaine mix powder, ready for packaging or further mixing.

Unlike Meth production where quality is tied to the input ingredient, the quality of the Cocaine mix in the Schedule 1 game can be significantly influenced after harvesting the Coca Leaves through an optional drying process.

Drying the leaves on a drying rack before processing them in the Cauldron improves the final product's quality tier:

• No Drying: Results in Standard or Low quality Cocaine mix.
• 12 Hours Drying: Results in Premium quality Cocaine mix.
• 24 Hours Drying: Results in Heavenly quality Cocaine mix.

This quality distinction is not merely cosmetic; it has direct implications for sales strategy and profitability within the Schedule 1 game. Higher quality tiers (Premium and Heavenly) are explicitly recommended for sale in more affluent districts like Uptown or Suburbia. Customers in these areas demand higher quality products and are willing to pay significantly more for them. Therefore, taking the extra time to dry Coca Leaves allows players to access the most lucrative markets for their Cocaine mix, highlighting an integrated economic system where production choices directly impact market access and profit potential.  

Once players have access to the base Cocaine mix powder, they can use the Mixing Station to create enhanced blends. The Cocaine mix serves as the foundation for potentially the most profitable items in the Schedule 1 game's late stages. Several sources point to a specific recipe as being exceptionally lucrative, often referred to as the Best Cocaine mixing recipes available.

The most consistently cited high-profit recipe is :

• Base Product: Cocaine Powder

Automating the Cocaine mix follows similar principles, involving Handlers for supplying the Cauldron and Chemists for processing through the Cauldron and Lab Oven.

Automation Steps (Synthesized from ):

1. Hire Staff: Recruit Handlers and Chemists. Provide beds and salary.
2. Handler Input Routes: Assign Handlers and set routes to supply the Cauldron(s):
   • Route 1: Shelf (Coca Leaves) -> Cauldron
   • Route 2: Shelf (Gasoline) -> Cauldron (Handlers must bring both leaves and gasoline, as Chemists won't retrieve them ).  
3. Chemist Processing (Cauldron): Assign a Chemist to the Cauldron(s).
   • Set the Destination for the Cauldron's output (Cocaine Base) to the target Lab Oven. The Chemist will perform the extraction and move the base.  
4. Chemist Processing (Oven): Assign a Chemist to the Lab Oven(s).
   • Set the Destination for the Lab Oven's output (Cocaine Powder) to a designated Storage Shelf. The Chemist will handle refinement and move the final powder.  
5. (Optional) Packaging/Mixing: Set up further Handler routes to move the Cocaine Powder from the shelf to Packaging Stations or Mixing Stations.

Automating the Mixing Station, especially for complex, multi-ingredient recipes like the Best Cocaine mixing recipes, requires careful setup, preferably using the Mixing Station Mk. 2 for ease.

Automation Steps (Synthesized from ):

1. Hire Staff: Recruit Handlers and Chemists.
2. Handler Input Routes (First Mix): Assign Handlers and set routes to the first Mixing Station in the chain:
   • Route 1: Shelf (Base Product, e.g., Cocaine Powder) -> Mixing Station 1
   • Route 2: Shelf (Ingredient 1, e.g., Motor Oil) -> Mixing Station 1
3. Chemist Processing (First Mix): Assign a Chemist to Mixing Station 1.
   • Using the Clipboard, set the Threshold (e.g., to 10 or 20 units).  
   • Set the Destination. If the recipe requires more ingredients, set the destination to Mixing Station 2. If it's the final mix, set the destination to a Storage Shelf or directly to a Packaging Station.  
4. Chain for Multi-Ingredient Recipes: For recipes needing multiple steps (like the 8-ingredient Best Cocaine mixing recipes):
   • Set up additional Mixing Stations (Mixing Station 2, Mixing Station 3, etc.).
   • Set Handler routes to bring the next required ingredient to the next Mixing Station in the chain (e.g., Shelf (Ingredient 2 - Cuke) -> Mixing Station 2).
   • Assign Chemists to each subsequent Mixing Station.
   • Set the Destination of each Mixing Station to the next one in the sequence (e.g., Mixing Station 1 -> Mixing Station 2; Mixing Station 2 -> Mixing Station 3, etc.).  
   • Set the Destination of the final Mixing Station in the chain to a Storage Shelf or Packaging Station.

This ability to chain workstations and define specific input/output flows allows for the full automation of even the most complex recipes in the Schedule 1 game. It demonstrates a scalable automation system where players physically build out production lines and logically connect them using the Management Clipboard to handle intricate manufacturing processes.

Accessing the ingredients for Meth and the Cocaine mix requires unlocking specific suppliers who become available as players progress through the Schedule 1 game's world :

• Albert Hoover (Weed Seeds): Available from the start of the game. Found in Northtown behind Dan's Hardware. Supplies various marijuana seeds. Requires managing debt below $300.
• Shirley Watts (Pseudo for Meth): Becomes available upon reaching Westville (second region). Requires befriending Jerry Montero or Meg Cooley and paying off debts at the Warehouse. Supplies Pseudo, with higher quality variants unlocking later.
• Salvador Moreno (Coca Seeds for Cocaine mix): The final supplier, located in the Docks (fourth region). Requires befriending Mac Cooper or Javier Perez and repaying debts behind the Church. Supplies Coca seeds (single type, quality improved by drying).

Maintaining a good financial standing with suppliers is important; accumulating too much debt can disrupt the supply chain.

To maximize profits using the mixing and production systems in the Schedule 1 game:

• Focus on High-Profit Recipes: Prioritize learning and producing recipes known for high returns, particularly the Best Cocaine mixing recipes detailed in Section 2, once accessible.  
• Automate Everything: Invest in employees (Handlers, Chemists) and upgraded equipment (Mixing Station Mk. 2) to fully automate production lines from raw materials to packaged goods. This maximizes throughput and frees up player time for expansion and sales.  
• Match Quality to Market: Understand that product quality matters. Produce and sell high-quality Cocaine mix (using dried leaves) in high-paying districts like Uptown and Suburbia for maximum returns.  
• Manage Risk: Be aware that some potent or profitable mixes may carry risks, such as dangerous side effects ('Explosive') or increased police attention. Balance the pursuit of profit with the need for operational stability.  
• Optimize Logistics: Ensure efficient layout and routing in automated facilities to prevent bottlenecks and keep employees working effectively.
