Patch #4: Overtime toggle, Fixed Farming, Faster Tax Payments NEW

Date: 2025-11-10 15:08:37

Patch #4

Today we focused on adding quality of life improvements and fixing more bugs.

Namely now you can add cargo to the tax ship quicker! Before holding shift added increments of 5, now you can add in increments of 25 with ctrl, and 99 with alt! Players also reported planting new fields would grow the wrong crop. We narrowed that bug down to stale field indexes. Many players also requested to see the count of available housing, so we added that alongside guild and skill population counts when you hover over the whisker population in the topbar.

My personal favorite bug from today was the conveyor belt jamming. Certain items such as bread were physically too long to fit into the warehouse's conveyor socket. We made the socket longer.

Please do read the full changelog to see every change :)

If you hold Alt while adding cargo to pay taxes, it will add in increments of 99. Holding Ctrl will add in increments of 25, and shift continues to add in 5s.
