The Schedule 1 beta update v0.4.0f8 went live on Steam on September 27, 2025, introducing a batch of fixes and minor system changes aimed at improving stability and production balance. The patch introduces an “exceeded quality” bonus, several property upgrades, and fixes that should make multiplayer sessions smoother.
New additions in Schedule 1 v0.4.0f8
The v0.4.0f8 update adds a new production mechanic called the “exceeded quality” bonus, which rewards players who produce items above the required grade. That makes quality control more meaningful during manufacturing and can change how some businesses are managed in Hyland Point. For more on getting started with the beta, see the beta update guide.
Property upgrades also received attention. Warehouses now include water taps, which expand utility when running larger operations. Hyland Manor, tied to the Benzies family storyline, now supports up to 12 staff instead of 10, giving players more room to scale up their base. These tweaks build on the earlier v0.4.0 update that added the Benzies family cartel and new vehicles.
Stability is the headline here. Developers have fixed excessive network traffic related to graffiti, which was causing disconnects and lag in multiplayer sessions. That fix should make online play feel smoother for groups who had been seeing drops during busy scenes.
Physics interactions were refined to ensure impact forces are applied correctly to ragdolls, thereby improving character reactions and object collisions. Visual tweaks include font rendering fixes and several graphical corrections that enhance the presentation’s overall appearance. These more minor fixes add up to a cleaner, more consistent experience across Hyland Point.
Developer Tyler and TVGS say future updates will focus on polish over speed. The community’s second vote chose Shrooms as the next content focus, and Tyler set expectations that major releases will take longer to produce. A special Halloween update is scheduled for Oct. 31, 2025, and a larger release is targeted for October or November.
The v0.4.0f8 tweaks enhance core systems and will be most noticeable to players who rely on multiplayer stability or manage large production chains. Share thoughts in the comments about how the new quality bonus affects your setup, and follow us on X and Bluesky.
