Schedule I is a game about producing and selling drugs that entered Steam early access on March 25, the name being a reference to U.S. drug law. It soon went viral, with an all-time high of over 450,000 concurrent players. The publisher of the much smaller drug-related games, Drug Dealer Simulator 1&2, is "investigating" whether or not Schedule I infringes on their copyright. May the worst fate come to Movie Games S.A.

Anyways, I've put almost 50 hours into this game and noticed there's no thread for it so here we go.

Here's the development roadmap: https://trello.com/b/VQQpru3F/schedule-i-roadmap
Some tips and tricks I picked up on the way:
- Buy the golden skateboard ASAP. It's faster than vehicles and is the best $1,500 you can spend
- Don't spend too much time or effort in making mixes. If you really want to mix, a good one-step mix is OG Kush + Mouthwash. But, if your production is being bottlenecked in any way by the mixing process you'd be better off just selling raw product.
- One exception to not making mixes is to make mixes for your own personal use. You can smoke your own drugs and the effects can be beneficial. Athletic, for example, will make you run faster, sneaky will make getting around at night easier, etc.
- When customers message you for an order, you can negotiate which product to sell (click on the name), how much of it to sell, and at what price. Every customer has a soft limit to how much they'll spend on a deal so try experimenting on who will pay for more.
- When you schedule your deals, always schedule them for late night. Any deals made after curfew have a 20% bonus, it's literally free money. On top of that, time freezes at 4AM so it's impossible for any late night deals to expire unless you go to sleep.
- Focus on unlocking dealers. Find them in the Contacts app and find the customers who are linked to the dealer of a given area. Focus on giving those customers good deals to increase their friendship faster so they'll refer you to the dealer.
- Dealers will automatically split jars and bricks, ie if you give a dealer a brick of meth and someone wants to buy a jar, the dealer will split the brick into 4 jars and sell 1. This means you should only be stocking your dealers with jars of product until you unlock the brick press and then only stock them with bricks.
- It's also generally a good idea to only sell 1 type of product. Item stack sizes are pretty limited so just focusing on 1 product helps keep everything organized.
- You can also unpack bricks/jars/baggies by placing them into a packaging station and clicking the arrow to put it into unpack mode.
- Once you unlock meth it's generally a good idea to completely change to solely producing meth. It sells for about double that of weed and is much less labor-intensive to make.
- When unlocking new customers, make a blended drug suited to their favorite effects. You can use this site to figure out the cheapest way to get an effect (the site has been having stability issues lately, likely a shitload of people trying to use it).
- It's also a good idea to use a drying rack to create one stack of heavenly weed for unlocking new customers as the higher quality will give you increased odds of success. Heavenly product doesn't sell for more so don't waste your time selling it, just use it or free samples.
- Once you unlock the bungalow and get a bit of money stacked up start working on automating your production. An optimal meth lab in the bungalow can produce around 100 meth crystals a day.
- Once you start automating production and need to restock your employees a lot, buy the Veeper van. It costs like $9,000 but it has 16 inventory slots which makes it very useful for making big runs to the gas station.
