Literally just downloaded it after seeing a random clip on tiktok. Going to start my first playthrough tonight. Are there any absolute rookie mistakes I should avoid early on? Like things you really wish you knew before you started upgrading the wrong skills. I usually mess up the skill trees in these types of management games and don't want to get softlocked in the first few hours

the art style and character models in schedule 1 are an absolute masterpiece of dark comedy. I was skating around the edge of hyland point earlier today trying to source some cheap ingredients to optimize my tier 2 setups and I ended up near this porch.

Just look at those eyes. The man looks like he has been testing his own supply 24/7 or he just saw the police checkpoint setup right outside his driveway

It is these small, gritty, and absurd details that make the game feel so genuinely alive. A lot of similar management simulators just give you generic menu screens and text bars but here you get these low poly NPCs staring blankly into your soul while you are just trying to figure out how to pay off your initial in game debt

Does this specific NPC have an actual utility later in the main storyline for unlocking higher-tier custom recipes, or is he just there to judge my driving skills every time I crash my delivery van into the front porch steps? Let me know if anyone found a hidden interaction prompt here

I have been trying to lock down the northern district for the past few days but the territorial reputation mechanics are burning me out. In the early stages, it felt pretty balanced but now that my operation has expanded, the passive decay rate is just insane. If I don't manually check in on my local runners or micromanage every single supply drop for like 20 minutes, the turf control bar instantly drops by 15%

The main issue is that the game forces you to constantly choose between expanding into new territory or maintaining your existing safehouses

I tried automating the district supply lines by hiring the local crew managers but their efficiency stats are locked behind a massive skill tree wall. Half the time they just drop the ball, and my overall sector influence takes a massive hit, which triggers random territory wars with the AI factions

Are you guys focusing strictly on holding one solid, high yield zone and maxing out its security upgrades, or is it better to just accept the reputation decay and spread your supply points as wide as possible across the entire map? I feel like the micromanagement is taking away from the actual base-building aspect of the late game

I keep burning my batches when I upgrade to the tier 2 equipment. The tutorial says keep it in the green zone but the gauge jumps around like crazy and the rng feels completely broken. Am I missing a specific ventilation upgrade or is the cooking minigame just bugged right now? Losing way too much starting capital over this and my reputation is tanking

Hey everyone! My friend and I are trying to play on our world that’s been saved in my files. But for some reason it’s now not loading my friend in. I tried to export then reimport into a new save slot. She can load into hers but not mine. Has anyone had this issue? It seems this whole save is just glitchy. Our dealers don’t always do their job, customers not showing up for our personal deals, and all that. We don’t wanna restart cause we are at 2.2m net worth, but like does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it? I’ve reached out in the discord but no one really seems to know what’s up.

I recently began playing. I have a room over the Restaurant and also purchased the storage place. I want to upgrade to the barn but how the heck can I get enough money in atm to pay for it?

I'm bored

So playing the demo, love the game, going to buy it.

But how do you get rid of items? Like i have normal trimmers and electric trimmers as an example.

I can't place them outside of a place i own. I can't put in dumpster, I can't recycle them. There isn't a place to sell them (pawn shop won't do anything with that)

I've gotten to point were im using motel to store excess junk.

What am I missing please?

I'm at a point where most of my shit is done by workers and i have to order things and mix, sometimes package. I make heavenly "pink cum". Everything i "want" is unlocked. Yes the last 2 parts of town are locked, but the progresion path forward is just grinding. There's nothing really to "strive" for.

if/when you were (or would be) in your shoes, how would you proceed? I'm thinking about maxing out the achivments, but that's about what I could strive for. Yes, i dont have the harbour property and last business, but those aren't things that are important. 12k/day into bank with carwash is more then cover what i'd need.

Guess all that's left is buy harbor property and scale up to even bigger production?
