Do employees work faster at better stations?

[Nerdaucity]

IE, does a handler package faster at a packing station II? Do chemists mix faster at a mixing station II, as opposed to their standard counterparts? Trying to see if it's worth buying 4 mixing station IIs, or 4 mixing stations to assign to chemists. Thanks in advance!

Tbh this is a good question. They seem really really really slow. Takes my guys several minutes to package 20 baggies fir instance, and thats on the rotary.

Did you find out?

I am almost positive they are not faster at a better station.

the cheap stations are faster with employees and if done personally. mixer is faster primarily because it does 10 not 20. employee settings for mixer is 1-10 so you also run the risk of the inventory bug with handlers/chemists more often on the 20 stack auto mixer afaik. packing station cheap is best until you can do bricks.

Lock your workers in the building, then they won't take a break outside and will work faster

Nope, they don't.

Are you certain about this?
Especially regarding the mixing station, there is quite a difference between the two of them, at least to the player.
So I am really wondering if chemists have the same mixing time depending on the version of the mixing station

mixing station 2 mixes twice as fast as mixing station 1 so its not the worker working faster it's just a better machine

edit it might have been 10 and 20 as posted above. i knew there was a big difference though.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

It doesn't matter unless its the mixing station because of the mixing station's timer.

Packers actually pack half as fast at the higher tier pack station than they do the basic station for some reason. The brick maker is still the fastest though.

I think that the only thing that effects worker speed is the station's inventory ie how many items can be processed at once. And as far as I can tell, the only station that gets an upgraded capacity is the mixing station. So all other stations should be the same speed when worked by an employee whether basic or advanced

Yes as they don't have the mini-game you have to do.
Which you could of found out on your own.

Via SteamDB, 0.3.6f6 "Fixed the packaging station Mk2 being slower to use for NPCs compared to Mk1"

It doesn't say whether mk2 is now faster (as it should) or just same speed ("not slower")
