If you've ranked up far enough in Schedule 1, you’ve probably stumbled across the Cauldron—a giant metal pot that looks like it belongs in a villain’s basement kitchen. It’s built for crafting big batches of high-level product. Here's how to unlock it, what it does, and why it’s worth the space it eats up.

How to Unlock the Cauldron
You won’t find this thing in your starter shop. It's only available once you’ve proven you're ready for big-time operations.
Rank Needed: Enforcer I
Price: $3,000
Where to Buy: Oscar’s Warehouse (near the Docks)
Hours: Only open after 6 PM
Oscar runs the night shift—look for him on the right side of the building. If he’s not there, check your clock. He only shows up after dark.
What the Cauldron Actually Does
Right now, the Cauldron crafts one major batch type: a high value “Coco” Batch
To cook a batch, you’ll need:
20x coco Leaves
1x Fuel Additive
6 minutes of in-game cook time
A Lab Oven to finish the process
Once it’s done cooking, you’ll toss it into the Lab Oven to finalize the batch and make it sellable. That’s the full loop—for now. Future updates may expand its recipe list.
Can You Assign a Chemist?
Yes. Once unlocked, you can assign a Chemist to run the Cauldron for you.
They’ll follow the same steps, same timing, and save you from babysitting the station while you handle other high-level tasks—like managing bulk sales, scouting for warehouse space, or yelling at your delivery guy.
Final Blurb
The Cauldron is a late-game upgrade that opens up big-batch crafting in Schedule 1. While it currently focuses on just one major recipe, it’s a solid profit machine once it’s in motion. Just be ready to invest in ingredients, gear, and a reliable Chemist—preferably one who doesn't set things on fire.
Let me know if you want a second version that uses a different fake ingredient name in place of “Coca Leaves,” or if you want a whole layout for your “Advanced Equipment” series.
