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.
Now, we’re excited to bring you the latest update for Hydroponics Farm & Store Simulator. This patch will include exciting new features and challenges. Here's what's new:
Feature Updates
1. Employee Upgrade System
We’ve heard some players' feedback regarding the slow performance of Rookie-level employees, especially when it comes to the Restocking skill. To address this, we’ve rebalanced Rookie employees, making improvements to their effectivity in restocking tasks. Additionally, we’ve introduced the Employee Upgrade System, allowing you to enhance and customize employee skills to better suit your specific needs. The new Employee Upgrade System feature allows you to invest in your team by improving their skills. With this system, employees can work faster, more efficiently, or handle complex tasks with ease. Boosting your employees' abilities will have a direct impact on your farm and store’s overall productivity and success.
2. FoV, V-Sync, and Resolution Settings
We’ve added Resolution Settings to give players more control over their visual experience. Choose the resolution that works best for the system to ensure optimal performance and visuals. This addition is aimed at enhancing accessibility and customization for a broader range of players.
3. Purchase Limits for Seeds, Decorations, and Nutrients
The maximum purchase limit for seeds, decorations, and nutrients has been set to 20 units per transaction. This update helps maintain balance by preventing oversupply, encouraging players to better manage their resources. With this change, your farm’s growth can remain steady and sustainable.
4. Clearer Story Progression in Chapter 13
We’ve refined the dialogue for Chapter 13 Plot 1 to make the objectives and narrative clearer. This adjustment ensures that players can fully understand and enjoy the story progression. Expect smoother storytelling that aligns better with the overall plot.
5. Door Hover Text
Added hover text to the production room doors to make their function clearer to players. This small but impactful addition ensures you can navigate the production area with ease. It’s part of our ongoing efforts to enhance user experience across the game.
6. Removed Colliders
Removed unnecessary colliders from the delivery table and shelves, making interactions with these objects smoother. This fix reduces instances of characters or items getting stuck, improving the flow of gameplay.
