While some UI improvements are minor, all are designed to make the game more intuitive and interactive. In this screen shot, you can see we added some highlights to help you identify selected machines. This same update applies to all hiring screens.
Here is an updated save screen. Again small visual clues should make the screens more navigable.
Stay Tuned as we preview more up coming changes

Player Abilities:
- New abilities to pick up, place, sell, and buy inventory.
- No need to hire stockers, sales, or buying agents; you can handle inventory yourself or continue hiring employees for these tasks.

Multiplayer Updates:
Global market price influences based on actions of all players. Option to opt in or out of global market price influences, with a new game required to resume.
More Details
Player Abilities
We realize the early release of Max Capacity focused on employees and machinery over how you play the game, which can become stale. We have been adding more abilities for you as the player.
You will be able to:
- Pick up inventory
- Place inventory in containers
- Sell inventory on the market
- Buy from the market
You will no longer need to hire stockers, sales, or buying agents to work with the inventory in your factory. You can do this all yourself now. You can continue to hire these employees to do the work for you if you prefer.
Employee Behaviors
The primary focus of Max Capacity has always been making a profitable factory through your dealings with and interactions with employees. We have added more ways employees interact with you to create more dynamic gameplay.
Employees are now assigned shifts and come and go according to their shift assignments. This should help you create a more dynamic and efficient factory as you schedule work in accordance with your needs. Time will speed up for shifts that have no active employees working.
Employees will now chat with you and each other. Pay close attention to what they say, as their conversations provide hints about what they need from you and add some entertainment.
Employees who are blocked because they cannot add inventory to containers will now try to add their inventory to another container. If that fails, they may drop it on the floor. Either way, you will need to get involved to correct it.
Employees who are fired may attempt to add any inventory they hold to containers before leaving. However, do not count on it, as some of them may be upset and act out by leaving with the inventory or dropping it on the floor, creating a mess.
Factory Environment
When a shift has no active employees, the factory lights will dim. Safety and ambient lights remain on however.
Multiplayer
We are continuing to expand on the multiplayer aspects of the game. If you opt in for global market price influences, the prices listed on markets will be impacted not just by your actions but also by those of other players.
You can opt out of the global market price influences at any time. However, to resume global market price influences, you will need to start a new game.
This new global market price influence feature will create a much more fluid game, and you will need to keep up to date with current market trends to make the most profit.
Internet Connection Required
For employee conversations and global market price functions, an internet connection will be required. Bandwidth and usage charges may be incurred while you play, and these charges are not included in the price of the game. Please consult with your internet provider to understand these additional costs.
We take your privacy seriously. This game does not collect or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII) from you. The only data transmitted to our servers concerns game-related market transactions you make within the game. This data is used solely for processing those transactions and is stored securely.
We will never share any data collected with any third party without your consent.

Yes, we admit it's been a while since we last made an update. However, that doesn't mean we have not been working on improvements in the game. This update fixes quite a few bugs.
Additionally, we have added a small new feature of chat bubbles, allowing you to see agents talk. We have also added some experimental work to make market data live resulting from all players' actions through buying and selling on the market.
By enabling either of these online features, you acknowledge and grant Max Capacity the right to send and receive anonymized data over the internet, for which you may be charged by your internet provider. You can opt out of these features at any time by simply changing the toggle on the settings screen as noted below.
Chat Bubbles
You will need to enable chat bubbles by toggling "Show Agent Chatter" in the settings dialog on the opening screen. An internet connection is required; however, if the internet is not available, you can still play Max Capacity. Please note: you may incur data charges for your internet usage.
Live Market Data
If you enable the "Send Market Tx" toggle in the settings dialog on the opening screen, shift reports will be sent to the cloud and used to drive changes in live market data. This feature is experimental and is not complete. An internet connection is required; however, if the internet is not available, you can still play Max Capacity. Please note: you may incur data charges for your internet usage. No personally identifying information is included in the report, as the report is anonymized. You can opt out of this feature at any time by simply changing the toggle on the settings screen as noted previously.

Original postMeet Max.
Max always had a dream to own his own factory. One time he heard his grandfather say "Make something people like and you will always have a job". And that was all the motivation he needed to dream of making it big, making stuff in his factory.
In this release:
- Holiday items are no longer in demand so prices are dropping. Hopefully you've sold all your product or can save selling it for another holiday
- The market can be fickle or crazy or both! It looks like supply and demand factors are causing the market prices to swing more as you buy and sell on the market. So make sure to time your production and market activity to maximize profits and minimize any possible losses.

Original postToday we release a special build to celebrate the holidays. We hope you enjoy the festivities.
In the spirit of holiday celebration, you can build and sell new product called Holiday Wreaths! Keep in mind, after the holidays the price for Holiday Wreaths will bottom out.
There is a new component you will need to construct for making Holiday Wreaths called cellophane.
You can decorate your factory with holiday cheer once you unlock a secret achievement. While exploring and figuring out this achievement, please build some holiday wreaths and take your mind off things. You will need to be playing easy mode to complete the achievement.
