Update v2024.51.6.5 - New Employee Skill: Restocker

Hello, Hydroponic Farmers! 🌱🐟

Thank you so much for playing our game and for being an incredible part of our journey. Your feedback, whether through discussion comments, in-game feedback, livestreams, video content, or other channels, has been invaluable to us. We truly appreciate your passion and insights as they help us improve and grow together.

We have received a lot of feedback from players regarding the need for employees to have restocking abilities. From everything we've heard, restocking becomes very tedious at a certain point, especially in the later chapters. We also understand that the effort required for restocking, particularly when the second floor of the store is open, can be very challenging. Therefore, over the past few weeks, we have been working on developing this new skill, and it is now complete.



To activate the restocker mode for an employee, you can open the employee management panel on the tablet device, then select the primary priority setting for restocking mode.



The restocker's decision-making algorithm is as follows: they will move harvested crops from the collection tables where commodities are placed. If all the white boxes on the tables are empty, they will retrieve commodities from storage in alphabetical order.



As additional information, the work speed and restocking skill of a rookie employee will differ significantly from those of an expert. Therefore, make sure to manage them effectively and efficiently.



To unlock this new skill, make sure to update your game to the latest version: v2024.51.6.5.

As part of our commitment during Early Access, we always open to all feedback and suggestions to make this game as mature as possible. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions, don’t hesitate to share your thoughts. 🌿🐟

And, if you’re enjoying the game, we’d love to hear your thoughts in a Steam review. It really helps us grow and improve the experience for all.

Thank you for being part of the community, and happy farming!🌱🐟
