v0.7.1 - New Employee Skill: Kiosk Restocker, and QoL Updates

We’ve just released a new update designed to enhance your farming experience. This patch brings quality-of-life improvements, visual polish, and new options to make your gameplay smoother and more enjoyable.

Here are some of the key points we heard from you:

• Players needed employees that could help with kiosk restocking.

• Players wanted more control over the quality of ingredients employees restock into kiosks and production tools.

• Collecting animal products could feel inconvenient when animals kept moving around.

• Players wanted the option to skip animations to save time during frequent commodity transfers.

Based on your feedback, we’ve added several new features and improvements to better support your needs. We're continuing to improve iteratively and incrementally, delivering meaningful updates step by step 😀

1. New Employee Skill: Kiosk Restocker

You can now assign employees to handle kiosk restocking, giving you more freedom to focus on other activities. This helps keep your kiosks running smoothly without constant micromanagement.

2. Kiosk Employee Settings

Gain more control over how employees restock ingredients at kiosks. You can define the quality of ingredients they use and decide whether they should replenish all ingredients or only those required by current recipes.

3. Production Tool Employee Settings

Production tools now have new employee settings as well. You can set the ingredient quality employees should use when restocking, helping you maintain consistency and align production with your strategy.

4. Animals Stay Still While Harvesting

Cows, sheep, and goats will now remain still when you harvest their products. This makes the process smoother and ensures animals won’t wander around during harvesting.

5. Sheared Sheep Visuals

Sheep now have a distinct appearance after being sheared. This makes it easy to see at a glance which sheep have already been sheared and which still have their wool.Steam post image

6. Skip Transfer Animation

You can now skip commodity transfer animations when moving items into storage or supplying kiosks. This makes item management much faster and less repetitive. It’s a great time-saver for players who prefer efficiency over animations.

Bug Fixes & Optimizations

• Fixed an issue where employees could walk outside the farm.

• Fixed a bug allowing kiosk upgrades even when you didn’t have enough money.

• Fixed a visual bug where boxes could get stuck in an employee’s hand.

Thank you for playing and supporting the game. Your feedback continues to shape every improvement we make. We hope these updates bring more flexibility, smoother workflows, and a more enjoyable experience to your farm.

As always, if you enjoy the game we’d be grateful if you leaving a review, and don’t hesitate to leave your thoughts or suggestions in the Discussions section. 😀
