Schedule 1: 28 Tips and Tricks from Noob to PRO
Whether you’ve just rolled out of the RV van or you’re knee-deep in jars and negotiations, Schedule 1 doesn’t hold your hand for long. Luckily, we’ve put together 28 powerful tips and tricks to help you dominate the streets, maximize your grind, and avoid game-breaking mistakes.
These aren’t just your basic pointers—this is a Schedule 1 survival and success toolkit. We’ve mixed these tips up for variety, so no matter where you are in the game, you’ll find something useful.
Disassemble the RV Van Immediately
After the tutorial, your starting RV is set to explode. Before leaving, harvest the plants and disassemble everything: shelves, lights, pots—you name it. Whatever’s left will be lost forever.
Don’t Kill the Cops
No, really—resist the urge. Killing police puts you into a “Wanted: Dead or Alive” status. They’ll bring tasers, bullets, and hell with them. It’s not worth it.
Use the Packaging Station with Your Keyboard
Forget fiddling with your mouse. Use A and D to slide the bags along and spacebar to drop product. Super fast, super efficient.
Group Bagging is Your Friend
Instead of bagging trash one by one, toss it all into a corner. Then grab one bag, group everything, and yeet it to the dumpster. Easy cash, faster cleanup.
Stick to One Strain Early On
Managing multiple strains early on is a headache. Stick with something like OG Kush until you unlock a more profitable option like Granddaddy Purple. Simplifies production and customer demand.
Change Quantity with the Scroll Wheel
Need to give a specific amount to a customer? Hold right-click and use the scroll wheel to adjust the quantity mid-deal. Also, Shift + Click for full stacks and Shift + Right Click for singles.
Pickpocketing for Profit
Yes, you can rob your own customers after a deal. It’s risky—they might call the cops—but early game, it’s a sneaky way to restock or grab rare items.
Multi-Select in Clipboard Mode
Shift+Click lets you edit multiple employee tasks or objects at once. Saves tons of time when managing automation setups.
Save Your Game—Often
Manually saving isn’t just for safety—it’s strategy. Getting chased by cops? Pause and quit. Reload and try again. Exploity? Maybe. Smart? Definitely.
Get Creative with Baseball Bats
Baseball bats aren’t just for defense. Smash ATMs and vending machines (but not all of them!) for bonus cash, or bat trash bags into orbit for fun.
Skip Dead Drops by Meeting Dealers
Once unlocked, meet dealers directly to buy large quantities of product. It saves time, avoids risk, and speeds up your empire building.
Unlock Dealers ASAP
Dealers do the dirty work—selling for you 24/7. Unlock them fast and keep them stocked. Use jars instead of baggies to move more volume per handoff.
Automate the Greenhouse
Hiring the botist is a game-changer. They automate plant care entirely, freeing you up for bigger picture moves. Pair with handlers for full auto-packing power.
Use 4:00 AM Freeze to Your Advantage
At 4:00 AM, in-game time stops until you sleep. Perfect moment to handle bulk tasks like reorganizing inventory or finishing missions with zero interruption.
Always Stock Your Dead Drops with Cash
Put a few grand in your dead drop now, save yourself the sprint later. That way, dealer orders are pre-paid and hassle-free.
Buy Baggies & Jars After Hours
Shops closed? No problem. Visit Oscar at the warehouse after 6 PM to keep supplies flowing without downtime.
Skateboards are Underrated
Buy a golden skateboard—they’re faster than cars in many cases. Ideal for fast escapes or running missions across the map.
Trash the Display Case
It’s overpriced, holds barely anything, and offers no real benefit. Save your $250 and spend it on something worthwhile.
Bypass Police Checkpoints Easily
Don’t go through bridges guarded by police. Just walk around the barriers. No need for drama.
Employee Beds Can Be Remote
Assign workers to sleep in a different location. Store all your beds in a motel and assign from other properties—saves a ton of space.
Optimize Your Deal Schedule
Stack all your deals for the next morning. This streamlines pickups and frees your entire afternoon for restocking or growing.
Use Dumpsters to Escape Faster
When fleeing police, hiding in a dumpster accelerates your “wanted” timer reduction. The faster you’re unseen, the faster you’re free.
Use the Mixing Calculator Website
Want to create perfect blends without wasting resources? Use the unofficial mixing calculator online to test combos in seconds.
Time Matters for Bonuses
Arrive early to deals and customers may reward you with a little extra cash. Check areas ahead of time for surprise bonus encounters.
Vans vs. Speedsters
The Viper Van offers massive storage (16 slots), perfect for deliveries. Prefer speed? The Hund Dog or Cheetah vehicles are top tier.
Use Cheat Console (If You Must)
Want to go full sandbox? Enable the developer console in settings and unleash item spawns, XP boosts, and more. Use responsibly—or not.
Smack Stuck NPCs to Reset
If employees freeze or get buggy, knock them out. They’ll reset the next day. Still stuck? Save, quit, and reload.
Never Leave a Job Half Done
Customers, dealers, and plants all need attention—so don’t half-assign tasks. Finish what you start, or the system will punish your progress.
Bonus Tip: Talk to Everyone
Even NPCs with no apparent use sometimes unlock hidden features, missions, or side perks. Don’t ignore the world around you.
Conclusion
Whether you’re planting seeds or plotting expansion, these Schedule 1 tips and tricks can make the difference between scraping by and running a criminal empire. Use what fits your style, adapt your strategy, and don’t be afraid to experiment.
