Any good guides for a faster mixing process?

Making a good batch of meth requires 6 different ingredients, so it's been a very tedious process of going to the market, making the mix, waiting, going back to the market, and rinse and repeat. I tried messing around with the chemist to ease the process but it feels very limited due to them not being able to gather ingredients. any good tips?

The most hands-off you can be is automating the process with chemists and handlers, but you still need to restock yourself.

Getting deliveries can help a bit, but there's still not that much that can fit in the van, especially for bigger mixes.

You can hire a handler to move things from a shelf to the machines. For the bare minumum, you could have 1 mixer, 2 shelves, 1 chemist and 1 handler. Handlers pull from shelves starting from the top left and ending at the bottom right, so fill the first shelf with your six ingredients in order. The problem is, you need to remove and reinsert the meth into the machine before you can mix it again. For that, we need the second shelf. Leave this second shelf empty, and set it as the drop-off point from the mixer. Then set your handler to move the contents of the second shelf back into the mixer. This means you can't ever have more than one rotation of ingredients in the first shelf, since they'll keep on mixing until its empty, but with this setup you'd only have to check on the machine once or twice a day.

I honestly wouldn't do this myself, it's much easier just chaining together multiple mixers each with their own dedicated ingredient.
