Schedule 1 Companion update: exact mixing, Seeded Mixing, counteroffers, a layout builder and an MCP server

What changed in Schedule 1 Companion in November 2026: the mixer now matches the game to the dollar, Seeded Mixing saves can apply their seed, every customer shows a real budget and a counteroffer calculator, a layout builder covers all 14 properties, achievements persist, and an MCP server opens the tools to AI assistants.

Published November 3, 2026

Schedule 1 Companion (opens in new tab)started as a mix calculator and a customer list. Over the last two weeks it gained the game’s exact mixing behaviour, support for Seeded Mixing saves, the game’s deal logic on every customer page, a property layout builder, persistent achievements and an MCP server. This is what each one does and the figures behind it.

The mixer matches the game

Every result in the calculator, the recipe finder, the step breakdown and the best mixes list now comes from the same mixing behaviour the game runs. Three things changed. Ingredient order resolves the way it does in game when two effects would turn into the same thing. Prices round the way the game rounds, so OG Kush on its own sells for $38, not $39:

OG Kush    Calming 0.10    $35 × 1.10 = $38.50 → $38
+ Cuke     Calming, Energizing 0.32    $35 × 1.32 = $46.20 → $46
+ Banana   Sneaky, Thought-Provoking, Gingeritis 0.88    $35 × 1.88 = $65.80 → $66

And three transformations that were wrong are fixed: Banana turns Cyclopean into Energizing, Mega Bean turns Sneaky into Calming, and Mega Bean turns Thought-Provoking into Energizing. Every mix also shows the name the game gives it and its addictiveness. The best mixes and effects posts here were recomputed from the corrected rules.

Seeded Mixing

A save started with Seeded Mixing turned on follows a different rule set from everyone else’s. There are 360possible rule sets, and the save’s seed picks one. The calculator can now follow yours: sign in, open the rules control in the toolbar, paste the number after Seed in the save’s Game.json, and every tool switches to that save’s rules. Seeded saves can reach effects a standard save cannot, Lethal among them, and lose some that standard recipes rely on, which is why a recipe copied from a forum sometimes fails. Seeded rules need an account, and each account can load five different seeds a day.

Budgets and counteroffers

Customer pages used to show a single budget figure. They now show what the customer spends per week and per deal at your rank, since the game scales a customer’s spend by rank and tier, and how many days a week they order. Set your rank once and it applies everywhere.

Below that sits a counteroffer calculator running the game’s own deal logic. Pick the product, enter the quantity and price the customer asked for, then your counter, and it answers: accept, refuse, or the chance if the game rolls for it. It also reports the highest price the customer is sure to take, and the odds of selling the same deal in person at a given quality. The customer list here now carries the per-deal figures at the starting rank.

Layout builder

The layout builder (opens in new tab) has the real floor plan of all 14 properties, from the RV to Hyland Manor, with walls, floors and doors in place. Drag any of the 67placeable items onto it and the builder applies the game’s placement rules: grow lights need a suspension rack, beds count against the property’s employee capacity, and items take the space they take in game. It totals the cost, flags unlit pots, and shares a layout by link or as an image. Layouts can be saved to an account and published to the community alongside mixes.

Achievements

Profiles have 49achievements across five categories: creation, engagement, quality, expertise and layouts. The new ones follow the new features: a seeded mix, a Lethal mix, a layout for five properties, a shared mix that hits every effect a customer wants, favorites in three regions, and rating or commenting on other players’ work. Unlocks are now stored with a date, so they survive threshold changes, and up to three can be pinned to a public profile.

MCP server

MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is how assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT plug in outside tools. Schedule 1 Companion runs a server at https://schedule1.app/mcp. Add it once and the assistant can run the same calculator, recipe finder and deal logic the site uses, so a question like “what will Kyle pay for OG Kush with Cuke and Banana at Hustler III” is computed, not guessed. Every answer links the page it came from.

The 13 tools the server offers

The server uses standard mixing rules only; seeded saves are supported on the site after signing in. Setup steps for Claude.ai, Claude Code, ChatGPT and Cursor are in the how-to on schedule1.app (opens in new tab).

Where to start

  • Open the Mix Calculator (opens in new tab) and rebuild a recipe you use. If your save is seeded, apply the seed first.
  • Open a customer you sell to often, set your rank, and test your usual counter in the calculator at the bottom of the page.
  • Plan your next property in the layout builder (opens in new tab) before you buy it.
  • If you use an assistant, add https://schedule1.app/mcp as a connector and ask it for the best mix for a customer.

Questions

Does the Schedule 1 Companion calculator support Seeded Mixing?
Yes. A save started with Seeded Mixing uses one of 360 rule sets, picked by the seed in its Game.json. Sign in on schedule1.app (opens in new tab), open the rules control in the calculator toolbar and apply the seed. The mixer, the recipe finder and the step breakdown then follow that save's rules.
How does the counteroffer calculator work?
Each customer page (opens in new tab) has one. Enter the product, what the customer asked for and what you want to counter with, and it runs the game's deal logic to say whether they accept, refuse, or roll for it, along with their per-deal budget at your rank and the highest price they are sure to take.
What is the Schedule 1 layout builder?
A planner at schedule1.app/layout-builder (opens in new tab) with the real floor plan of all 14 properties and 67 placeable items. It applies the game's placement rules, checks grow light coverage and staff beds, totals the cost, and shares a layout by link or image.
How do I use Schedule 1 Companion in Claude or ChatGPT?
Add https://schedule1.app/mcp as a custom connector. In Claude.ai that is Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector; in Claude Code it is one command, claude mcp add --transport http schedule1 https://schedule1.app/mcp. The assistant then has 13 tools for mixes, recipes, customers, deals and properties, and every answer links the page it came from. No account or key is needed.
