Hello, Hydroponic Farmers 🌱
Thank you once again for being a part of our growing community! Your feedback whether through reviews, discussions, or testing has helped shape each step of this journey. We’re back with a regular update that brings new quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes, many of which were directly inspired by your suggestions.
Let’s dive into what’s new in this new updates:
Feature Updates
1. Growbed: No Harvest / No Planting Settings
You now have more control over your growbeds. With the new toggle options, you can prevent employees from harvesting or planting on specific growbeds. This gives you more flexibility in managing planting cycles and assigning tasks to your team.
2. Faster Commodity Transfer Animation
We’ve heard your feedback about slow animations during commodity transfers. We’ve now increased the speed of animations when commodities are moved—especially when placing items into delivery trucks or during general transfers. This should make daily operations smoother and more enjoyable.
3. Updated Market Orange Marker Behavior
The orange marker on the store door is now smarter. It will automatically hide when you’re not looking directly at the door, reducing unnecessary visual clutter while working in other areas.
4. New Setting: Freeze Moving Fish Animation
A new performance setting has been added! You can now choose to freeze the animation of moving fish to help reduce processing load and improve performance on lower-end devices.
5. Numpad Control for Cashier Credit Card Payment
Handling customer payments at the cashier is now even easier! When processing credit card transactions, you can now use the numpad keys for smoother and faster input.
Bug Fixes
We’ve also worked on polishing the game by resolving several issues found by our testers and community members:
- Fixed an issue where growbeds and shelves became unresponsive after being used by employees
- Fixed a visual bug causing the player’s wrist to appear broken in certain animations
- Adjusted aquarium glass brightness at night to make fish easier to see
As always, your support means the world to us. If you find anything unusual or have ideas for improvement, don’t hesitate to share your feedback through the in-game tool or our community page.
And if you’ve been enjoying the game, we’d love to hear your thoughts in a Steam review—it helps more than you know! 🌿
Until next time, happy farming and store managing! 🐟💧
