What's new in Schedule 1 after fifth patch release?

Indie hit keeps climbing the Steam chart!

We have seen many great Indies hit so far, however, the Schedule 1 debut on Steam has been amazing and can be said to be one of the best. This quirky drug-dealing simulator is attracting new players on Steam non-stop.

Tyler worked almost exclusively on this game for three years. It’s already dominating Steam just a week after its release, and its fifth patch has now come, bringing crucial repairs and updates. Let’s check out more details in this article.

What’s new in Patch 5?

The fifth patch was dropped on April 1, 2025 and has brought many new changes to Schedule 1. Here’s a little rundown for you:

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the dealer sometimes preemptively revealing its hand to non-host players in blackjack.
• Fixed the first-person jacket looking janky.
• Fixed the ‘Master Chef’ achievement being rewarded prematurely.
• Fixed some property null references that were causing multiplayer loading/desync issues.
• The drying rack ‘dry’ button is now non-interactable if the input slot is reserved by an employee.
• Fixed NPC ‘stay in building’ behaviour, sometimes causing errors for non-host players.
• Fixed NPC voiceover emitters sometimes throwing a null reference.
• Fixed non-host clients sometimes not being able to hit/stand in blackjack.
• Fixed a quest UI bug that was sometimes causing infinite loading screens in multiplayer.
• Fixed clipboard selections not reassigning without first manually clearing the existing selection (employee beds, botanist supplies, etc).

Improvements

• Implemented a few validity checks/failsafes for NPC pathfinding and warping. I think this was one of the primary causes of crashing on certain chipsets (thanks to Chi Chi on Discord for bringing this to my attention).
• Refactored employee item movement behaviour to be a bit smarter in Schedule 1.
• Implemented NPC effects culling at a certain distance to improve performance.
• Added an active display setting to choose which monitor the game displays on.
• Botanists will now automatically move product from their supplies to drying racks.
• Owned vehicles are now visible on the map app.

Tyler, the developer behind Schedule 1, also revealed that fans can expect a huge surprise this weekend. This is what he has to say: “I’ve kicked off the first content update, set to drop this weekend. Sneak peeks coming soon—stay tuned!”
