Plan your next Schedule I session
Our independent guide breaks down Schedule I’s core systems—movement, production, staff, threats and co‑op—offering clear observations that help new dealers make informed choices without relying on hidden tricks or paid upgrades.
01 / THE GUIDE
Route Mapping
Trace walking, skating and driving paths between your first supplier and property. Compare distances and travel times to decide which mode balances speed and safety for early deliveries.
- Start on foot to map key supplier districts before committing to a vehicle.
- Use the skate option to cover medium distances quickly while staying agile.
02 / THE GUIDE
Recipe Evaluation
Record the inputs and outputs of each discovered recipe. Note profit per batch and decide which variants merit early automation based on their return.
- Experiment with discovered recipes early to see which yield higher returns.
- Keep a record of ingredient requirements to streamline future batches.
03 / THE GUIDE
Staff Allocation
List the number of dealers versus current inventory. Adjust hiring to keep deliveries steady without excess idle staff, ensuring smooth distribution.
- Balance the number of hired dealers with current inventory to avoid bottlenecks.
- Invest in a second property once the first reaches full production capacity.
04 / THE GUIDE
Threat Awareness
Track encounters with law enforcement and cartels as you expand. Use the data to vary routes or pause expansion during spikes, reducing disruption.
- Vary delivery routes to reduce predictability for police patrols.
- Monitor cartel‑controlled zones and avoid them during high‑risk periods.
05 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Role Division
When playing with a partner, split duties—one handles property upgrades, the other manages distribution. Compare growth rates to solo play for insight into collaborative efficiency.
- Assign one player to focus on production while another handles distribution for clearer division of labor.
- Use adjustable text size to keep management screens readable for both participants.
