The upcoming major update for Schedule 1 will introduce the game's fourth substance category, expand the selection of production tools, and bring numerous new features to the gameplay experience. Since its initial release, Schedule 1 has maintained its freshness through consistent updates, with the developer even maintaining a public Trello board where players can track upcoming features planned for future patches.

Following the successful Rival Cartel update that received widespread community praise for its substantial content additions, solo developer Tyler immediately began planning the next major update. The developer actively engaged with the community to gather feedback on desired features for the upcoming patch.

What to Expect in Schedule 1's "Shrooms" Expansion

The community-driven Shrooms update will bring several significant additions to the game:

• A completely new supplier character
• Specialized production equipment designed specifically for Shrooms
• Multi-purpose production tools usable for both Shrooms and existing substances
• New gameplay effects and ingredient varieties
• Additional customer types with unique preferences

The Shrooms addition emerged as the clear winner in Schedule 1's second community vote, which attracted over 490,000 participants. With nearly 270,000 votes, the psychedelic substance category defeated other proposed features to become the game's fourth substance type. This expansion will significantly broaden Schedule 1's ingredient roster and production mechanics. While Tyler has avoided providing specific release dates to prevent potential delays, players can anticipate the Shrooms update arriving between mid-October and late November.

Other features considered in the community poll included Drivers (receiving 139,000 votes) and Fishing (garnering 85,000 votes). The developer has assured players that these concepts haven't been abandoned and will likely appear in future voting opportunities. These community polls appear designed to establish development priorities rather than determine which features ultimately get implemented.
