what's the proper way to set this up?

[sooshon]

I just hired my first employees, I have a botanist growing "any" type of weed in a bunch of pots and moving it to a shelf. a packer is moving stuff from that shelf to that packaging station to a packing station and using jars (capacity of 5). but he constantly gets stuck when he puts 3-4 items into the packing station even if there are 20-30 of other kinds of weed at the time, he is stuck waiting until the botanist brings over more of that type of weed to fill a full jar. this is really annoying, i wish he would only pick up 5 at a time and move it to the packaging station and otherwise ignore it, is there a better way to set this up? i don't really have enough room in my current location for a bunch of packing stations for each kind of weed or whatever.

Just use one kind of weed, or use separate packing stations, or separate shelves for separate kinds of weed. It isn't complicated, but if you want it to be more complicated, you might be able to lock an item slot to a specific substance, but I haven't played since the last update so idk if that is even possible yet.

With the pots producing 12 at a time, the packaging station needs 60 to be "done" with that product and possibly moves onto the next product. This is possibly ok with only 2 product types, half of the pots assigned to each one. Might also need the item slots from the beta, so that the shelf doesn't fill up with too much of one product.
