Schedule I v0.4.2 Open Beta Patch Update
Schedule I v0.4.2 Open Beta introduces a complete mushroom cultivation system, management renaming tools, temperature mechanics, and economy adjustments.
The v0.4.2 Open Beta update for Schedule I adds a full cultivation loop for mushrooms, management system upgrades, temperature mechanics, and balancing tweaks for cartels and plants.
Mushroom Cultivation and New Items
A complete mushroom farming system arrives in v0.4.2. Players can utilize shrooms, mushroom beds, mushroom spawn stations, substrate, spore syringes, grain bags, AC units, shroom spawn, spray bottles, and a mushroom hat. Random shrooms now spawn in the sewer, and Fungal Phil joins the game alongside a shroom introduction quest and specific shroom visual effects. Existing customer preferences have been modified to favor shrooms.
Management System and Quality of Life
The management system now includes a renaming feature for stations, pots, and storage racks, alongside a remove button for object list entries. You can toggle between imperial and metric units in display settings. The filing cabinet is now functional for storing items, and an explanation appears when a tap cannot be interacted with. Cleaners can now be assigned to six trash cans instead of previous limits, and the pickpocket interaction is replaced with view inventory when targeting an unconscious NPC.
Economy and Plant Adjustments
Cartel influence in Westville is now capped at 500 out of 1000, with older saves scaling down automatically. Coca plant yields increase from 9 to 12, or 20 when boosted with plant growth regulators, and plants now display fully grown particles. Warm temperatures now boost plant growth speed. Cleaners, botanist behaviors, and watering cans receive code refactoring, and the moisture-preserving pot is now lighter.
Bug Fixes and Technical Adjustments
The update fixes customer favorite effects failing to apply, objects getting stuck highlighted on the management clipboard, and pupil dilation failing to reset after sobering up. Additives can no longer be applied after a plant is fully grown. Other fixes resolve coca leaves falling behind cauldrons, mixing station preview products appearing mismatched, and delivery vans displaying empty trunks. The management clipboard can no longer be opened while selecting an object or transit route.
Why this patch matters
Schedule I v0.4.2 Open Beta expands farming options with mushrooms and cleans up quality-of-life mechanics across management, economy, and general bug fixes.
