Schedule I has been on a rise for its quirky, drug-related gameplay, and there is a lot going on that will keep you occupied for hours. But there are a couple of unintentional bugs in the game that can hamper your gameplay and stop any progress. Sometimes, you might catch your workers stealing items from your base, which can incur a small loss in production. This guide will show you how you can stop your employees from stealing your items in Schedule I.
Staff Stealing Items Bug in Schedule I

Sometimes you might find one of the stations or racks at your work base missing a few items, or caught your workers picking up some of the materials when they think you are not looking. This might just be a bug, or something else entirely. There are a few things you can try to make sure this does not happen again.
- Try to reassign your employees to another section and see if it helps. Also check if they have their payments on time.
- Beat them up using the baseball bat! Like a lot of things, that usually fixes things, and they go back to work normally.
- If these don’t work, then you can either kill them or fire them, then hire a new employee.
- Save your game and quit, then reload. Wait for a new day and check if the bug has disappeared.
- In case you have a habit of testing your products at your base within the vicinity of your employees, then they might turn on you and start stealing. Try not to test your drugs near them and do it elsewhere.
This seems to be a persistent bug, but you can always rehire new employees to work for you if things are not looking good. You should also check whether the racks or machines that you have assigned to your workers have easy accessibility so they can do their work properly. You can try to rearrange your stations a bit, then check back to see whether your workers are doing their job or still out stealing.
Dealers Stealing Money Bug

Employees are not the only ones stealing your goods, as sometimes you will encounter your dealers coming back empty-handed. If you find that they have no money to offer even after selling all the drugs, try reloading your game. If that still doesn’t help, try to whack the dealer with your bat. Also, make sure that they have enough open inventory slots to work with, as filling up all the slots seems to overwork the dealers and not help you get a profit. But saving the game and reloading seems to fix most bugs in Schedule I.
