Easy Achievements (Story Progression)

Welcome to Hyland Point

• How: Complete the first quest after the tutorial
• Tips: Follow the journal prompts. This is automatic progress.

Left in the Dust

• How: Complete the prologue sequence
• Tips: Unlocks naturally through tutorial completion.

Dodgy Dealing

• How: Recruit Benji Coleman as your first dealer
• Steps:
  1. Sell product repeatedly until Uncle Nelson calls
  2. Go to Motel Room 2
  3. Pay Benji $500 to hire him
• Tips: Focus on selling to customers rather than employees. Nelson calls after a certain number of personal sales.

The Long Arm of the Law

• How: Get arrested by police
• Tips: Let police catch you during a wanted level. Intentionally fail to escape an arrest.

Medium Achievements

Master Chef

• How: Create a product worth at least $100 using the Mixing Station
• Steps:
  1. Unlock Mixing Station ($500, Hoodlum V rank)
  2. Combine high-quality ingredients with premium additives
  3. Check product value before packaging
• Tips: Use high-tier seeds and quality additives. The value calculation includes quality and effects.

Indian Dealer

• How: Complete a sale, then pickpocket the product back from the customer
• Steps:
  1. Complete a normal delivery
  2. Walk behind the customer
  3. Use the pickpocket prompt (appears behind them)
  4. Succeed in the pickpocket minigame
• Tips: Pickpocketing is difficult and not always successful. Practice on low-risk customers first. If caught, you may gain wanted level.

Rolling in Style

• How: Purchase the Golden Skateboard from Shred Shack
• Cost: $1,500
• Steps:
  1. Save $1,500 (personal cash, not bank balance)
  2. Go to Shred Shack (northeast of the motel)
  3. Buy the Golden Skateboard
• Tips: This is a vanity purchase. The Golden Skateboard performs identically to cheaper boards.

Upstanding Citizen

• How: Process 500 trash items at Cash for Trash machines
• Steps:
  1. Buy the Trash Grabber from Dan's Hardware
  2. Collect trash from streets and your properties
  3. Deposit at any Cash for Trash machine (scattered across the city)
  4. Your own property's full trash cans also count
• Tips: This is cumulative across your save file. Pick up trash consistently and you'll unlock it naturally. Each deposit gives about $40.

Urban Artist

• How: Spray paint 25 surfaces in a single save file
• Steps:
  1. Buy Spray Paint Cans from Gas-Mart ($250 for 25 cans)
  2. Find sprayable surfaces (walls, fences, etc.)
  3. Spray 25 different surfaces
• Tips: Surfaces must be different—spraying the same wall 25 times doesn't count. Explore the city for fresh surfaces.

Hard Achievements

Businessman ($100,000 Net Worth)

• How: Reach $100,000 in combined cash + inventory value
• Strategy:
  • Focus on consistent high-value sales with overcharging
  • Curfew sales for bonus income
  • Invest in properties and equipment (they count toward net worth)
  • This should unlock naturally through normal mid-game progression
• Time Estimate: 5-10 hours of gameplay

Bigwig ($1,000,000 Net Worth)

• How: Reach $1,000,000 in combined cash + inventory value
• Strategy:
  • Establish automated production with employees
  • Own multiple properties (they count toward net worth)
  • Build up large inventory of high-value products
  • Casino gambling can help but is risky
• Time Estimate: 15-25 hours of gameplay
• Tips: Property values count toward net worth. Owning a Barn ($25K) and Docks Warehouse ($50K) gives you a significant head start.

Very Hard Achievements

Magnate ($10,000,000 Net Worth)

• How: Reach $10,000,000 in combined cash + inventory value
• Strategy:
  • This is the ultimate achievement requiring endgame empire management
  • Own Hyland Manor ($250K) and multiple other properties
  • Run maximum automation (12 employees per property)
  • Maintain massive product inventory
  • Sell exclusively high-value products (cocaine, custom mixes)
  • Use dealers for passive income across all territories
• Time Estimate: 40+ hours of gameplay
• Tips:
  • Don't rush this achievement. Focus on building sustainable automation first
  • Property values are a huge portion of net worth. Buy all properties.
  • Keep finished products in storage rather than selling immediately
  • The "Magnate" achievement is the true test of Schedule I mastery

Finishing the Job (Destroy the Cartel)

• How: Complete the final questline to destroy the cartel
• Requirements:
  1. Reach Baron rank (unlock Uptown)
  2. Choose to fight the cartel (not cooperate)
  3. Complete the multi-step quest:
     • Give Billy 20 mid-quality cocaine for RDX
     • Pay Sam $10,000 for tunnel digging
     • Help Stan kill a stranger at night in the Docks
     • Install the bomb in the tunnel
• Difficulty: This is the hardest achievement because it requires:
  • Max rank progression (Baron)
  • Significant resource investment (20 cocaine + $10,000)
  • Completion of the entire game story
• Tips:
  • Save before attempting major quest steps
  • Build up your empire before triggering the cartel conflict
  • Ensure you have strong weapons and escape routes
  • The bombing sequence is the final challenge

Achievement Roadmap

Recommended Order:

1. Early Game (0-5 hours): Welcome to Hyland Point, Left in the Dust, Dodgy Dealing, The Long Arm of the Law
2. Mid Game (5-15 hours): Master Chef, Indian Dealer, Rolling in Style, Upstanding Citizen, Urban Artist, Businessman
3. Late Game (15-40 hours): Bigwig, Magnate
4. Endgame (40+ hours): Finishing the Job

Quick Tips for Completionists

• Track your progress: Check Steam achievement progress periodically
• Focus on money early: The net worth achievements are the biggest time sinks
• Don't skip properties: Property values count toward net worth significantly
• Use the casino strategically: Save before gambling. The jackpot is $10,000 but the risk is high
• Pickpocketing practice: Find an easy customer and practice the timing before attempting "Indian Dealer"

Current Status

Schedule I is in Early Access with an expected 2-year development cycle. The 13 achievements represent the current content, but more may be added in future updates. The developer maintains a Trello roadmap where the community can vote on new features.

Achieving 100% completion in Schedule I is a genuine challenge that demonstrates mastery of every game system. Start with the easy ones, work through the medium, and save the hardest for when your empire is unstoppable.
