v0.4.5: Anniversary Update

It's been a year (plus a few days) since Schedule I was released to early access! What a wild year it's been - I seriously couldn't have hoped for a warmer response. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to play our game.

As of 30th March 2026, Schedule I has been collectively played for 17,846,608,208 minutes. That's over 33,954 years. It's humbling to think that much time has been spent playing something I created.

We wanted to put out a small update in celebration of the anniversary. We've only had about a week to put this together, so it isn't huge, but we've included a few things I know people have been wanting for a while. I hope you enjoy!

Additions

• Added Golden M1911.

• Added Big Sprinkler.

• Added reorder feature to the delivery app.

• Added dynamic reticle for ranged weapons.

• Added 'seeded mixing' setting.

• Added notifications when deliveries arrive.

• Added headshot damage multiplier for ranged weapons.

Tweaks/Improvements

• Redesigned the delivery app.

• Employees (excluding dealers) will now consume any bagged product left in their inventory.

• Supplier relationships are now increased when you purchase items at a meetup.

• Tweaked item slot filter context menu UI.

• Tweaked product effect duration for NPCs:

  • Weed = 9 hours.

  • Meth = 9 hours.

  • Cocaine = 6 hours.

  • Shrooms = 12 hours.

  • Effect durations for players are 1/3 of these values.

• The assigned employee's name is now displayed on management pop-ups.

• Tweaked the spread and aim duration of all ranged weapons.

• Tweaked the impact force of various weapons.

• Management popups are now visible even when outside of property bounds.

• NPC movement is now halted during a heavy flinch.

• Tweaked the customer product enjoyment evaluation algorithm to exclude quality consideration when used in a theoretical context (generating a deal offer, evaluating counteroffers, etc).

• Improved NPC threat response behaviour.

• Temporarily disabled the feedback system while we migrate to a different backend. The old system was vulnerable to exploits and did not handle the volume of reports sufficiently.

Bug fixes

• Fixed missing chemistry station particles.

• Fixed meth, coke, and shrooms being discovered immediately in a fresh save.

• Fixed clipboard hints not working.

• Fixed NPCs jolting when they ragdoll while crouched.

• Fixed weird collision at supplier meetups.

• Fixed the sweatshop post box mesh not reflecting the actual physical position.

• Fixed third-person gun animations sometimes getting stuck.

• Fixed NPCs sometimes not reacting to gunshots/brandishing.

• Fixed delivery duration always being 6 hours for non-host players.

• Fixed the shotgun firing sound playing several times at once when heard from a third-person perspective.
