Schedule I v0.4.5: Anniversary Update Patch Notes (30th March 2026)

Schedule I just hit its one-year Early Access anniversary, and developer Tyler marked the occasion with the v0.4.5 Anniversary Update, live now on Steam.

The milestone number attached to this one is genuinely hard to wrap your head around. According to the official Steam announcement, Schedule I has been collectively played for 17,846,608,208 minutes as of 30th March 2026. That's over 33,954 years of playtime for a game built by a solo developer. Credit where it's due, that's an extraordinary result for any Early Access title, let alone one from a single person.

We covered the v0.4.4 Weather Update back on 19th March, which brought randomised weather to Hyland Point. This anniversary patch follows just under two weeks later, so it'll be worth checking whether Tyler has kept up that cadence of meaningful additions or shifted focus to polish ahead of a bigger milestone. Full patch notes below.

Hey everyone,

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.

Thank you for reading,

Tyler
