Even the overlord of a burgeoning drug empire needs to sleep from time to time - as do your employees! Indeed, if you want to hire staff to help manage your drug business, aside from dealers, you’ll need to make sure you’ve got plenty of beds in Schedule 1 available for them. Indeed, your team members in Schedule 1 will only come to work for you if they have somewhere to rest their heads at the end of a busy day growing and producing weed.

Well, don’t fret if you’ve been struggling to prepare a sleeping area for your staff; today, we’re exploring everything you’ll need to know about how to assign beds to help with hiring in your next Schedule 1 playthrough.

Why Are Beds Important in Schedule 1?

First of all, before we consider how to assign beds in Schedule 1, we should first think about whether these are actually needed. After all - if a bed is an unnecessary extra, why waste that space (and money) that you could instead dedicate to even more grow pots?

Well, sadly, beds are definitely an important piece of equipment in Schedule 1, so you can’t just get rid of them entirely. For one thing, they’re needed to progress to the next day; if you don’t go to bed, time will simply freeze forever at 4 AM (not exactly a productive time of day).

Furthermore, and perhaps more pressingly for many players as they progress to the later game, any employees you hire for your business will also need to each have their own bed to sleep in. This might seem a little peculiar, but just take it as a sign that your staff are incredibly dedicated to their job. That’s definitely a good sign when dealing in such a “sensitive” field as this, wouldn’t you say?

How to Assign Beds to Workers in Schedule 1

In Schedule 1, every worker you hire needs their own designated bed in order to function properly. Simply placing a bed inside your property won’t cut it — you'll also need to manually assign each bed using the clipboard, a crucial management tool. It’s a good idea to buy a bed for each worker before speaking to Manny, as this helps streamline the hiring process.

To assign a bed, you’ll need to start by equipping the clipboard, which is done using either the mouse wheel or the 9 key. Then, simply select the worker you want to manage, and select an assigned bed using the “assign” option. Then, with the clipboard still in hand, walk up to any unclaimed bed in your property and click on it to assign it to your chosen worker. Keep in mind that the bed will need to be in the relevant workplace for your worker - you won’t be able to assign a worker in the warehouse a bed in the hostel room!

That’s all there is to it! Assigning beds to a worker is undoubtedly one of the easiest processes in Schedule 1, but it’s an essential part of preparing your game thoroughly. Indeed, keep in mind here that there are several other things you may want to do while setting up your burgeoning drug empire, such as starting your game on a Private ScalaCube server; still, by ensuring your workers are looked after, you’ll find it much easier to grow your business and make more drug trades in turn.

FAQs

Q1. Do my workers need a bed in Schedule 1? Yes. Every worker you hire in Schedule 1 will need to have a bed assigned to them. That includes yourself - you’ll need your own bed to ensure that you are able to sleep to the next day. Q2. Does it matter how I arrange beds in Schedule 1? Yes! While bed arrangement may seem trivial, a bad bed layout can waste a lot of space in your properties. This can significantly limit the amount of drugs you are able to process and grow, so optimizing your bed layout is paramount. Q3. Can workers share beds in Schedule 1? No. Each worker requires their own bed in Schedule 1; they cannot share a bed with another worker (even if the bed is vacant at the time). Make sure you assign the bed so that the worker can use it. Q4. Will my workers use an unassigned bed in Schedule 1? Your workers need a bed assigned to them before they’ll begin working for you in Schedule 1. As such, they cannot use an unassigned bed.

Final Thoughts

Looking after your workers is important in Schedule 1 if you want them to keep producing top-tier drugs for you - and, to this end, investing in a bed for each worker is a must. It’s a hassle, of course, but it’s well worth the investment and the sacrifice of space to automate your production systems and increase output accordingly.
