The Reagents and Hardware of Success
Before you lay the first brick, you must secure the proper hardware. This operation requires a significant footprint: 14 large storage racks, 6 chemistry stations, 6 lab ovens, and 2 brick presses. To house the workforce, you need 10 beds to ensure your crew stays rested and productive. The workforce itself must be specialized, consisting of 6 chemists and 3 handlers. Success here depends on more than just machinery; you also need high-tier connections. Securing
Establishing the Workflow Architecture
Layout is everything. Start by placing the 14 shelves along the barn walls and center, creating a mirrored corridor. This isn't just for aesthetics; it provides clear walking paths. Position your 6 chemistry stations and 6 lab ovens with enough physical gap for workers to move freely. If you cram them together, workers glitch and production halts. Use the clipboard to link each chemistry station to a specific lab oven, then cluster groups of three ovens to feed into a single brick press. This tiered system ensures a steady flow from raw liquid to solid brick without bottlenecks.

Configuring the Workforce and Supply Chain
Automation only works if the logic is sound. Assign your 6 chemists to their specific station-oven pairs. More importantly, your 3 handlers must be programmed correctly. One handler's sole purpose is restocking the chemistry stations from the supply shelves, while the others manage the brick presses and move finished inventory. It is a critical trade secret: manually fill your chemistry stations with Pseudo, Acid, and Phosphorus before you ever hit the 'start' button. This prevents handlers from accidentally clogging the station slots with a single ingredient, keeping the ratio perfect from the first cook.
Troubleshooting and Long-Term Yields
If production slows, check your shelf proximity. Handlers should never have to travel more than a few feet to restock a station. If workers get stuck, nudging the equipment to widen the walking lanes usually solves the issue. Once the briefcases are filled with cash to cover operating costs, the barn becomes a self-sustaining gold mine. You will find that after an hour of operation, your shelves will hold over 20 bricks with minimal depletion of your bulk supply, allowing you to dominate the market with zero manual labor.
