Gasoline to Cauldrons - Is there a better way to do it?
A while ago I set up coke production with 8 cauldrons. Getting the gasoline from the loading bay to the gasoline storage was easy, just one task for a handler. But then I had to set up 8 more tasks just to get the gasoline automatically to each cauldron. Am I missing something? Is there a better way to do it? That's 1.5 additional handlers just for that. I get that you can just do it by hand since gasoline lasts quite long, but I was just wondering if there is a smarter automation.

I did a small experiment today because I wanted to know how the production scales as you assign more pots to a single botanist. The graph shows the daily output (in number of bricks) when the production consists of one botanist with one pot, one botanist with two pots, one botanist with three pots, etc … up to one botanist with the maximum number of eight pots.
You can see that at six pots the production reached saturation. Adding a seventh or eighth pot did not result in a higher output. And with five pots the output was already quite close to the saturation limit, only missing the limit by roughly half a brick per day.
Details:
All pots were air pots with full spectrum light using green crack seeds and fertilizer. I did my best to ensure that each setup had a similar layout and the walking distances for each botanist were similar as well. I did not use ACs. The experiment went for six in-game days, with the first day not being included in the result and remaining five days being used to calculate the average daily output. Variation in output between the days was minimal for each setup, so I'm confident that using five days was sufficient to get a reliable average.
