While Schedule 1 supports 4-player co-op, the game is just as enjoyable if you’re going at it alone. However, since you don’t have friends to help out, you’ll have to manage almost all aspects of your operation. This can sometimes feel too overwhelming.

In this guide, we’ll provide a few tips and tricks that should make your Schedule 1 solo run enjoyable without it getting too hectic.

Playing solo in Schedule 1 has a distinct disadvantage. Initially, you’ll have to manage everything from growing your plants and harvesting them to seeking out new customers and supplies. On the other hand, when you play with friends, it can become far more streamlined since you can divide up the tasks amongst all of the players.

However, there are downsides to co-op play as well. As soon as you add friends into your Schedule 1 session, the money in your in-game ATM will become shareable. This means your friends can freely withdraw money from the ATM without needing your input or permission. Also, sharing items with friends can be a chore since there isn’t any common inventory system. Instead, you’ll first need to keep the item in storage before your friend can retrieve it from there.

If all of these drawbacks have turned you against co-op in Schedule 1 or you simply enjoy playing alone, read on to know about some tips for solo play.

The following are some tips that can help you improve your gameplay experience when playing Schedule 1 alone.

  • Don’t take too many orders: It’s easy to get greedy and accept several orders from customers, especially during the early stages of the game. However, we’d suggest not taking too many orders at once, especially when managing everything alone. You’ll most likely be unable to keep your promise to buyers and fail to deliver their products. So, to avoid getting overwhelmed and losing customers, it’s important to only take fewer orders at first.

  • Space out deliveries: You can choose when to deliver products to customers. Make sure you do not line up deliveries one after the other. Carrying a limited amount of the product is often safer. So, spacing out deliveries will give you the opportunity to head back to your base to collect the packaged product for your next customer.

  • Use the curfew hours to make more product: While sleeping is an essential part of the game, make sure you’re also utilizing the curfew hours every night. Since you’re playing solo, even a bit of extra time making your product can help you keep your stocks up for the coming days.

  • Hire employees as soon as possible: As you proceed through the game, you’ll get the option to hire employees (Botanists, Chemists, Cleaners, and Handlers). You’ll need to pay a signing fee to hire every employee, along with a daily wage. You’ll also need to provide a bed to every employee you hire. However, it’s totally worth it since your employees will take a lot of the pressure off you, growing plants, creating products, and packaging them for you.
