Schedule 1’s v0.4.3 open beta is live. The developer expanded what was meant to be a small patch into a larger update that adds new storage options, a new Benzies graffiti activity, quality of life improvements for graffiti, new console commands, and a wide set of tweaks and bug fixes.
Players can buy new metallic storage closets at hardware stores once they reach rank ‘Bagman I’. The closets come in four sizes: small, medium, large, and huge. The update also introduces the Benzies graffiti activity. Benzies will occasionally spray graffiti at random world locations and players can interrupt them to reduce cartel influence and earn XP.
Graffiti received several user-facing improvements. The system now supports four stroke sizes and includes an undo feature. A new graffiti location was added on the bungalow roof and the graffiti menu now has a done button. The update also adds a set of console commands including SetDayDuration and SetItemQuality, and the console now supports using the arrow key to repeat previously executed commands.
Other notable gameplay tweaks include more detailed customer and dealer UI in the dealer management and contacts apps, the ability to compensate for inadequate product quality with excess quantity, faster dealer pathing with sprint behavior when late, drying rack speed bonuses from warm temperatures, and a reduced tick interval from 1s to 0.5s. A handful of visual and LOD adjustments were applied across the world and specific UI fonts and icons were updated.
