Schedule I Gets an Open Beta Shrooms Update Just in Time for the Holidays

It's a Schedule I open beta update arriving just in time for the holidays - shrooms!

Many players have been asking for more... ingredients... onto everyone's favourite dealing game of 2025 and to close the year out we're getting shrooms. If you want to test the update, you can switch to the beta branch on Steam by right-clicking on the game and selecting "properties" and then changing your beta participation to "beta".

Once you've moved a save over to beta, you won't be able to play it again in the base game until after the beta gets merged into the mainline, so try a new save if you don't want to mess with anything.

So, what does the update add? We've got Shrooms, all the equipment you'll need to grow your favourite funky fungi, and randomly spawning shrooms on the map to use as seeds. Also in the update, we've got the ability to rename our stations, pots, storage racks and more which can help keep things more organized as more crops get added to the game.

Cleaners can also now be assigned to SIX trash cans, making them much more useful for their hourly pay. That's not the only change though, there are dozens of updates that you can read down below in the full patch notes down below. Here's everything coming in Patch 4.2 Open Beta for Schedule I.
