After successfully establishing your drug empire in Schedule 1 and reaching the pinnacle of your rank, you find yourself at the zenith of control in Hyland Point. However, once you’ve conquered the terrain, you might find yourself at a loss for your next move. The question then arises: what should you do when there’s nowhere left to climb?
While this stalemate can be disheartening, it’s also a unique opportunity to exercise creativity and strategize for your future adventures in the game. With a few strategic directions, you can continue to squeeze value out of your gameplay before considering moving on.
5 Stock Up On Cash To Fund Your Endgame
Prepare Your Future Finances
Schedule 1 is consistently receiving updates that expand the game’s universe. New locations, shops, and purchasable items are continuously introduced. The developers at TVGS have even hinted at a significant map expansion towards the northeast. This potential addition may lead to the opening of even more businesses within the game, which in turn calls for increased capital to harness the full potential of these new opportunities.
To prepare for future expansions, it’s prudent to bolster your cash reserves now rather than waiting until new content is available. There are multiple ways to earn extra money post-endgame, including laundering cash in Schedule 1, pawning items, and engaging in the rewarding activity of recycling found materials. Implementing a diverse income strategy not only provides monetary rewards but also a chance to achieve a 10 million dollar net worth milestone.
With the pressure of climbing the ranks lifted, you can explore unconventional money-making strategies. For example, consider the audacity of pickpocketing customers who have just purchased drugs from you. In this virtual domain, the lines between legality and illegitimacy are blurred, leading to a rich tapestry of earnings.
Establish a personal target—like the ambitious 10 million dollar mark—and aim for it. Money serves as the lifeblood of progression in the game, and given the uncertainty of upcoming updates, it’s paramount to prepare financially for the future needs that will arise.
4 Buy Up The Town And Own Everything
Literally Own The Entire Town
Amassing wealth leads to acquiring power. Ascending to a position akin to the unofficial mayor of Hyland Point could be your next strategic move. Although property purchases come with limitations, the concept of buying all available properties can solidify your status and enhance your revenue streams.
At present, you have the option to purchase eight businesses and properties from Ray’s Realty. Every property has varying costs influenced by factors such as location and function. Notably, larger properties tend to command higher prices. Vale onto your options: while you have six personal residences, only four can be acquired directly from Ray.
For example, the motel room is available for $75 and the apartment for $800, but you can purchase the storage unit, Bungalow, Barn, and Docks Warehouse from Ray at $5,000, $6,000, $25,000, and $50,000, respectively. Owning these properties could allow for automation in generating revenue, boosting your overall productivity.
On the commercial property front, the offerings include four options with respective prices and laundering limits: the Laundromat at $4,000 ($2,000 limit), Post Office at $10,000 ($4,000 limit), Car Wash at $20,000 ($6,000 limit), and Taco Ticklers at $50,000 ($8,000 limit). The increased costs correspond with higher laundering capabilities.
3 Test Out The Beta Mode
Get A Taste Of What’s To Come
If you’re an eager player patiently awaiting new content, take a step into the game’s beta mode. On Steam, simply right-click on Schedule 1, navigate to Betas, and select “beta”from the dropdown menu. This will update your game, allowing for early access to test upcoming features. You’ll know it’s activated when you see a beta indicator on your home screen.
Though the beta may showcase bugs and unstable features, it’s also a chance to preview future updates and provide valuable feedback to developers. Given that full game release is still a couple of years off, the current beta phase is critical for the developers at TVGS as they refine what works and what needs adjustment.
For feedback, access the in-game menu to submit your observations. This option is confirmed outside of beta mode, too. Click on “Bug Report/Feedback”in the main menu to document issues. You can include detailed descriptions, select appropriate categories for your report, and even attach screenshots or save files to assist the developers.
2 Try Out Endgame Mods
Enhance Your Game Even Further
Mods offer an exciting avenue to amplify your gameplay and enhance your empire. Some mods focus on item duplication, making it easy to stockpile products for quick cash flow. For instance, the Enhanced Dealers Mod by BJL doubles your customer assignments from eight to sixteen, which could substantially boost your business operations.
However, exercise caution with duplication mods, as they can quickly spiral out of control. Another valuable mod, Warehouse Always Open, created by ElioWasTaken, allows you to access your warehouse without the constraints of curfew hours—eliminating the pressure of evading police while pursuing business during late hours.
If you’re kicking off a new save file, this modification may be particularly beneficial as it adjusts rank requirements, allowing earlier access to warehouse capabilities. Additionally, there’s the no more trash mod by Voidane, which effectively removes litter from the game, helping keep your environment pristine and negating the need for a cleaner.
Moreover, mods can provide unlimited cash, no curfew, reduce wanted levels, and enhance experience point earnings, allowing significant acceleration through the ranks. It also includes options to disable random police investigations, helping you carry on your business without unwanted interruptions.
1 Complete Every Schedule 1 Achievement
Try To 100% The Entire Game
When you find yourself looking for the next challenge, pursuing achievements may be the perfect pathway. Currently, 11 achievements exist in Schedule 1, and if you’ve reached the endgame, you likely have already obtained a few. However, there’s always room for additional accomplishments. The early achievements like “Left in the Dust,””Welcome to Hyland Point,”and “Dodgy Dealing”can be earned within the game’s initial hours.
Achievements become progressively challenging, with some requiring the manufacturing of items valued over $100. Subsequent accolades like “Businessman,”for achieving a net worth of $100,000, “Bigwig”for $1 million, and “Magnate”upon attaining a staggering 10 million dollars, will likely follow as you expand your empire.
For additional options, try clearing the trash from the streets, as collecting 500 pieces will earn you the “Upstanding Citizen”accolade at the Cash for Trash machines. Those who skipped to cars may find value in visiting the Shred Shack for the “Rolling In Style”achievement, awarded for purchasing a Golden Skateboard for $1,500.
If you’ve been extra stealthy in your gameplay, the “The Long Arm of the Law”achievement will arise after an arrest—either through illegal activity or curfew violations. Lastly, for the “Indian Dealer,”you must perform the bold act of selling then pickpocketing the drugs back, creating a clever way to maintain profit margins while securing the achievement. Given that the game is still in Early Access, look out for future updates which may add new achievements as TVGS continues to innovate in Schedule 1.
