v1.0.7-2025.22.1.1 - New Store Stats Overview and Bug Fixes

Hello, Hydroponic Farmers 🌱

We’re back with a focused update that improves one of the core parts of your store—the cashier system. Alongside a key bug fix, we’re also introducing a new Store Stats UI to give you more insight into how your store is performing.

New Feature – Store Stats on Cashier Hover


You can now hover over a cashier employee to get a quick and detailed summary of your store’s performance. This new feature provides real-time insight into how your business is doing and how your upgrades are making an impact.

The following stats will be shown:

• Average Daily Customer Count
• Average Items Bought Per Customer
• Best-Selling Commodity and Quantity Sold
• All Active Stat Bonuses from furniture and upgrades:
- Customer Growth
- Employee Morale
- Price Bonus


This is a great way to track what’s working well and where you can improve. It's also useful when testing the effects of new furniture or layout changes in real time.

Bug Fix – Cashier Queue Handling


• Fixed Customer Stuck in Cashier Queue
We’ve resolved an issue where a customer’s turn had been triggered, but the game failed to assign them a path to the cashier. This caused customers to get stuck, blocking the queue or delaying day progression. With this fix, customers will now reliably find their way to the cashier once it's their turn.

We hope this update makes managing your store even more satisfying and transparent.

v1.0.6-2025.20.2.1 - Faster Box Transfer & Furniture Effect Transparency

Hello, Hydroponic Farmers 🌱

We’re back with another Quality of Life Update designed to make managing your store and employees more transparent and comfortable. This update brings improvements that help you make better decisions while speeding up repetitive actions.

Quality of Life Improvements


• Skip Animation When Moving Items from Box
We’ve added a new Skip Animation feature for moving items from and into box. You can now speed up the filling or transferring process, especially when moving large quantities to a delivery truck or reorganizing storage using the Large Box Container. The skip function will appears after 3 seconds when the transfer process still ongoing. This saves time and reduces repetitive waiting, making large-scale operations feel much smoother.

• Employee Morale Transparency
You can now see the total Employee Morale and its impact by hovering over employee working as a cashier. This allows you to understand exactly how your furniture choices contribute to improving morale, giving you clearer insight into how your shop upgrades are boosting employee performance. This not only affected the speed of cashier process but for all employee you hire increase their working speed.

• Price Bonus Transparency
When adjusting the selling price of any item in your store, you will now see a breakdown of your total Price Bonus. This bonus is calculated from all furniture you’ve placed that increases price limits. The system also explains how Price Bonus helps you raise the maximum price customers are willing to pay, making it easier to optimize pricing strategies without guessing.

Hello, Hydroponic Farmers 🌱

We’re back with another regular update focused on improving gameplay stability and resolving issues that may affect your day-to-day farming and store operations. Thanks as always for continuing to share reports and feedback!

Bug Fixes & Optimizations


• Fixed Issue Preventing Day Progression
We’ve resolved a bug where the game would not allow players to continue to the next day if a there are problem in the cashier. The system now correctly process completes the day once all active interactions are finished.

• Fixed Customer Queue Logic at Cashier
An issue that caused customer queues at the cashier to become stuck or behave unpredictably has been addressed. Queues should now flow normal, with better handling of the customer data and behavior during queue.

• Fixed and Optimized Employee Stuck Behavior
We’ve made several improvements to prevent employees from getting stuck during tasks like harvesting, restocking, or moving between positions. In addition to fixing known edge cases, this update includes backend logic optimization to make employee process more reliable in complex process. Additionally, if an employee becomes stuck, you no longer need to interact with them manually. After being stuck for one minute, they will now reset themselves and resume work automatically.

• Optimized Empty Growbed Search for Seeding
Employees will now find empty growbeds for seed deployment more efficiently. This reduces the performance when assigning planting tasks and helps maintain a smoother gameplay experience.

• Employee Morale Affects Cashier Speed
The Employee Morale bonus from furniture now has a direct impact on cashier performance. Higher morale will result in faster customer processing times, giving you another way to improve store efficiency through staff management.

• Optimized Commodity Data Processing on Growbeds
Commodities that are still in the growth phase such as fish and plant on growbeds have received data handling optimizations. This helps reduce processing overhead, especially when managing large-scale farm, and contributes to better overall performance during busy game states.
