Hey everyone!
This patch brings several quality-of-life improvements, progression balance changes, multiplayer fixes, and fixes for issues reported since launch.
✨ IMPROVEMENTS
• Picking up and placing Basil Pots is now much easier. Their interaction surfaces have been improved.
• Twitch Integration can now listen to multiple channels at the same time. Simply enter multiple channel names separated by commas.
⚖️ BALANCE & PROGRESSION
• The unlock order of Kitchen Counter and Wall Covering materials has been adjusted. Wood materials are now available at earlier levels, while marble and metal materials have been moved to later levels.
Because of this change, the appearance of some materials you already own may have changed.
• Cosmetic unlocks have been redistributed more evenly across 35 levels. There are no longer long stretches without rewards - every level now has something new to unlock.
• Station upgrades have also been spread more evenly throughout progression.
• The oven's "Pizza Ready" bell upgrade has been moved to an earlier level.
🔧 FIXES
• Fixed some Sauce Stations appearing bright white while operating.
• Fixed the missing preview image for the "None" option in Character Customization.
• Fixed the restaurant sign logo not appearing. It now displays correctly.
• Fixed the in-game clock occasionally displaying invalid times such as 24:15. Minutes after midnight now correctly wrap back to the beginning of the day.
• When looking at a pizza, the bottom-right control list now correctly displays "Slice Pizza" alongside "Pick Up Pizza".
• Fixed staff hiring quests counting a single hire twice. For example, a "Hire 1 Staff Member" objective could previously progress by two steps from a single hire. Each hire is now counted only once.
🌐 MULTIPLAYER
• Players joining an existing session could see items inside filled shelves and stands stacked in the center instead of their correct slots. These items now appear in the correct positions.
• Fixed the restaurant profile Motto sometimes appearing incorrectly for clients when joining a session.
⚠️ KNOWN ISSUES
We've been reading your feedback one by one since launch. These are some of the issues we're currently working on:
• The game freezes for a few seconds when claiming a quest reward.
We've identified the source of the issue on the UI side and are currently working on a fix.
• The outdoor ground appears transparent on some systems.
This can cause the sea and rocks underneath the map to become visible. It does not affect movement or gameplay, but it can obviously look pretty weird. Reports have come from both Windows and Steam Deck/Linux systems, and we're investigating it.
• Customer flow is unusually slow for some players.
We're investigating why customer traffic behaves differently on certain systems.
