Schedule I v0.4.5 Anniversary Update Adds Golden M1911 and Delivery App Overhaul
Schedule I marks its first early access anniversary with v0.4.5, introducing the Golden M1911, delivery app reordering, and ranged weapon adjustments. The update also brings new employee inventory management and balanced NPC drug effect durations.
Schedule I marks its first anniversary with a compact update focused on quality-of-life additions, weapon balancing, and delivery improvements. Celebrating over 17 billion minutes played in early access, developer Tyler pushed out v0.4.5 to address long-standing player requests.
Delivery and Management Upgrades
The delivery app receives a complete redesign alongside a new reorder feature and automated notifications when shipments arrive. Non-host players will no longer experience fixed six-hour delivery times. Management pop-ups now display the assigned employee's name and remain visible even when stepping outside property boundaries. Additionally, employees excluding dealers will now consume any bagged product left inside their inventories.
Weapons and Combat Adjustments
Ranged combat features several additions, including the Golden M1911, a dynamic reticle, and headshot damage multipliers. Spread, aim duration, and impact force have been tweaked across all ranged firearms. Heavy flinches now completely halt NPC movement, and enemy threat response behavior has been improved. On the bug fix side, third-party gun animations no longer get stuck, and the shotgun firing sound bug has been resolved.
Economy, Items, and NPC Balances
Purchasing items at supplier meetups now increases supplier relationships. NPC product effect durations are standardized to 9 hours for weed and meth, 6 hours for cocaine, and 12 hours for shrooms, while player durations remain at one-third of those values. The customer product enjoyment evaluation algorithm now ignores quality considerations during theoretical contexts like generating deal offers or counteroffers. A new 'seeded mixing' setting is also available.
Why this patch matters
This anniversary patch delivers practical quality-of-life features and sensible combat tweaks that smooth out daily operations in Schedule I.
