v0.7.8 - Maintenance Worker Skill Update & Bug Fixes

We’ve just rolled out a new update that improves employee skills and fixes several issues reported by the community. This update focuses on making waste and nutrient management more streamlined, while also ensuring a smoother overall gameplay experience.

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

• Players want maintenance workers to also handle animal waste and dead plant, moving them into nutrient machines and storage.

• Players suggested that maintenance workers should be able to use buckets or directly place waste into processing machines.

• Players find it difficult to clean animal pens and planter boxes manually, and they’d like maintenance workers to handle that more efficiently.

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 😀

Employee Skill Update: Maintenance Worker

We’ve updated the abilities of the maintenance worker to make them smarter and more efficient when handling waste and nutrients. With this update, they now follow a clearer workflow:

• If a waste bucket is available, employees will collect waste using the bucket.

• If a waste bucket and nutrient machine are available, employees will collect waste using the bucket and then fill it into the nutrient machine.

• If you have nutrient storage, employees will automatically transfer nutrients from the machine into storage.

• If no nutrient storage is available, employees will deliver nutrients from the machine to the delivery table instead.

These changes make it much easier to manage waste and nutrient flows without constant micromanagement.

Bug Fixes & Optimization

We’ve also addressed several issues to keep your farm running smoothly:

• Fixed a bug where empty nutrients could be stored in nutrient storage.

• Fixed an issue where the salesperson stopped at the farm entrance.

• Fixed a bug where employee settings were not being saved in kiosks and production tools.

• Removed irrelevant employee settings from the composter.

• Fixed an issue where the goat icon displayed as a cow when deployed to an animal pen.

• Fixed a bug where kiosk stock decreased even when customers didn’t complete a purchase.

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. 😀
