Schedule 1 has shipped version v0.4.2, the Shrooms Update, which fully released on December 22, 2025 on Steam and adds growable magic mushrooms, a temperature system with AC units, and a batch of tools and visual effects for mushroom production.
The update builds a new production chain players can assign to botanists, adds new customers and randomly spawning mushrooms in the sewers, and includes multiple quality-of-life changes like a renaming feature for stations and an imperial/metric toggle. Developer Tyler also confirmed he will step away briefly; in the announcement he wrote, “I’m going to take about 10 days off and will be resuming work in early January.”
Patch Notes
v0.4.2: Shrooms Update
Hello everyone,
The shrooms update has been fully released! As always, thank you for your patience as this update was completed. You can now grow and sell magic mushrooms. The production process involves several new pieces of equipment and tools, and tasks. All steps of the production process can be assigned to botanists. Shrooms are introduced after meth, and before cocaine. The supplier for shroom supplies is in the downtown region.
There is also a new temperature system – you can use AC units to warm or cool an area, the latter being necessary for mushroom cultivation. Additionally, plant growth speed can be boosted by warm temperatures.
There are also a few new QoL improvements and handy features:
- You can now rename stations, pots, storage racks, etc, using your management clipboard. This will make it much easier to distinguish different objects.
- Cartel dealers will now take smoke breaks, making them easier to find and ambush.
- Cleaners can now be assigned to 6 trash cans (up from 3).
- You can now which between metric and imperial units. This setting should automatically default to the appropriate choice for your region.
