When innovation meets infrastructure, magic happens. That’s exactly what we got when HyTek launched the Schedule 1 Mod, a game-changing enhancement for the community, powered by the scalable, reliable servers of BisectHosting. Together, we delivered a seamless multiplayer experience that players loved and developers raved about, evolving the experience of playing one of the most innovative games of the year!

What is Schedule 1?

Schedule 1 is a unique management and simulation game where players build and expand an underground criminal empire. The core gameplay revolves around resource management, strategic planning, and balancing risk as you grow your operation. Players must juggle tasks like hiring employees, managing supply chains, and outmaneuvering rivals and law enforcement, all while steadily scaling up their business. The game’s progression is driven by hard work, smart connections, and a bit of luck, offering a sandbox for players to create their own criminal kingpin story.

What Does HyTek’s Schedule 1 Mod Do?

The Schedule 1 Mod is a free client-side enhancement for the base game that adds features like proximity voice chat, increased player limit, custom text chat, bug fixes, custom visuals, and more, along with support for joining dedicated servers hosted by BisectHosting. It works in Steam lobbies and servers alike, unlocking a richer multiplayer experience.

Core Features:

Voice & Text Chat: Adds proximity voice chat (or global for servers), and fully customizable text chat.

Unlimited Multiplayer: Uncaps the 4-player limit, and includes a built-in server browser with join/leave indicators, filters, and Steam Party support.

Plugin API: Allows servers to stream custom assets (models, textures, sounds) and modify gameplay without client installations.

Bug Fixes & Developer Tools: Fixes known bugs, allows for police vehicle customization, adds error logging, and custom console keybinds.

Auto-Update & UX Tools: Ensures seamless updates, a recent server list, visual server indicators, and BisectHosting branding toggle.

In-Game Server Switching: Enables seamless server switching without requiring a game restart, along with the ability to save and reconnect automatically.

Server Commands: Supports admin commands like /tp, /bring, /spawnvehicle, with rank/permission systems.

By introducing these new mechanics and community-driven content, the mod kept players more engaged and eager to come back. The result? Improved player retention and a thriving, active community. HyTek says: “Bisect made it super easy for the development as the infrastructure of all the servers is the same, we didn't have to deal with Linux and Windows limitations, etc..”

Rapid Server Adoption: Scaling at Launch

Peak Concurrent Servers: At launch, Tek’s Schedule 1 mod reached ~300 concurrent online servers, a testament to both the mod’s popularity and BisectHosting’s scalable platform.
