About Schedule I
Schedule I drops you into the gritty west‑coast city of Hyland Point as a fledgling dealer with no cash, product, or contacts. You must build a drug empire from the ground up, producing a range of substances and expanding your reach while avoiding law enforcement and rival cartels.
The title blends action, simulation and strategy, offering both single‑player and online co‑op. You can walk, skate or drive around the city, hire staff, buy properties and work with suppliers to automate production and distribution as the empire grows.
01 / THE GUIDE
Movement and Exploration
Players traverse Hyland Point on foot, by skate, or in a vehicle. This freedom lets you reach suppliers, customers and potential property locations without a fixed path, letting you choose the mode that best fits the distance and terrain.
The open city layout encourages you to explore neighborhoods for new opportunities. Visiting different districts reveals where rival activity occurs and where special drug recipes may be discovered, informing early expansion decisions.
- 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
Production and Recipes
Each drug in Schedule I has its own production process, requiring specific inputs and steps. By following these processes you can create a variety of substances to satisfy different customer demands.
Special recipes can be discovered that combine base ingredients into new variants with unique properties. Unlocking these recipes expands your product lineup and can increase profit potential.
- 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 and Property Management
Hiring dealers allows you to delegate distribution, moving product from production sites to customers without direct player involvement. This frees you to focus on scaling other aspects of the empire.
Purchasing new properties and employing additional staff expands both production capacity and market reach. Each property can serve as a hub for storage, manufacturing or sales, supporting larger operations.
- 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
Law Enforcement and Cartel Threats
As your empire expands, law enforcement pressure intensifies, presenting more frequent raids and investigations that can disrupt operations. Staying aware of police activity is essential for maintaining momentum.
Deadly cartel competitors also become more aggressive, challenging your market share and occasionally attacking your assets. Managing these threats requires careful timing of deliveries and strategic placement of resources.
- Vary delivery routes to reduce predictability for police patrols.
- Monitor cartel‑controlled zones and avoid them during high‑risk periods.
05 / THE GUIDE
Multiplayer Co‑op
Online co‑op lets friends join the same empire, sharing responsibilities such as production upgrades, distribution logistics and threat monitoring. Collaborative play can accelerate growth by dividing tasks between players.
The game supports full controller input, adjustable text size, custom volume controls and can be played without timed input, making co‑op accessible for a range of hardware setups and player preferences.
- 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.
