Hello there, Shopkeepers!
Before starting work on the next major update, I wanted to release a smaller one to add something that I feel completes the Farm Land update from January.
The Honesty Box
The Honesty Box is the best way to sell products (crops, food, and drinks) to customers who might not be able to visit the Valley when your shop is open.
Since you can't monitor or protect it all day, you'll need to place products inside and hope that customers are honest enough to pay the correct price.
Some customers who visit your Honesty Box may underpay for a product or even steal it, while others might leave you a tip for your amazing work!
The Honesty Box must be rebuilt before use(you must have at least Shopkeeper Level 4 to do it), and you can upgrade it from Level 1 to Level 5 to improve its stats—such as the number of visitors, the number of products it can hold, and pricing adjustments.
Prices are automatically set to the highest possible amount, so you don’t have to worry about that detail.
Depending on your luck, some days may bring great sales, while others might bring none at all. So, make sure to level up the Honesty Box and keep it well-stocked at all times.
You'll be notified each time you get visitors, but to avoid overwhelming you, visits will be processed after the portal closes and after you sleep and wake up.

What's Next?
I'm carefully monitoring this update to ensure I got the values and odds right for the Honesty Box. I'll make balance adjustments based on your feedback.
I'm also aware of a few bugs that I really want to fix, but I haven’t been able to replicate them on my own.
Additionally, I'll be starting work on the next major update: Livestock—building shelters and enclosures and raising your own animals so you don’t have to rely on the animals found on the map.
Once again, thank you all for your support! ❤️
