Hello everyone, This update includes several critical fixes, so I wanted to push it without waiting any longer.

Fixed an issue where the butcher could use furniture currently being used by the player. Fixed an issue where the player could place a product…
Hello everyone! With the addition of walk-in freezers and the growing Butchery system, I know many warehouse layouts are now requiring more space. Rather than adding only four or five expansions and revisiting the same problem with every future content update, I decided to open up the entire remaining backstore area. The warehouse has now been expanded to its originally planned size, providing…

Hello everyone, Update 0.5.3 is now available. The main focus of this update is restocker efficiency . Restockers were sometimes walking much more than necessary, especially in larger stores and warehouses.

Hello everyone, I’m closely monitoring the transition friction some existing saves are experiencing with the Cold Storage update. This mostly affects older saves with large existing inventories, while new saves progress through Cold Storage much more naturally. Just wanted to repeat some of the key points of spoilage to make it clearer. · Your old inventory does NOT spoil. There is no need to p…
This was originally planned to be part of a larger update tomorrow, but I noticed there was some confusion around how to move Walk-in Freezers, so I wanted to release this part earlier.

With this hotfix, you can now also move or pack them by hovering over the front face/door side, just like regular furni…

For this update, I spent a lot of time analyzing and researching how these operat…

First of all, I want to thank everyone who supported the game during Early Access. The support, feedback, and enthusiasm from this community have been incredible. We truly have one of the best communities, and as a solo developer, I honestly feel like I’m just another member of it. Many players don’t fully know the long-term vision behind the game yet. So I wanted to make this post to explain w…
