Following yesterday's major update, we have been keeping a close eye on your feedback. Today, we are rolling out a follow-up patch to iron out a few bugs that slipped through, while also introducing some highly requested Quality of Life changes to make running your shop much smoother!
The biggest changes today focus on how you interact with customers and how you price your hard-earned loot.
Here is everything included in today's hotfix:
Pricing Visual Cue: We have added a new visual helper to make estimating a product's value easier! When setting a price, the text will now turn red if you exceed the acceptable price by 10% to 33%. This will help you push for maximum profit without accidentally overpricing items so much that customers immediately walk away.
One-Time Price Auto-Adjustment: To prevent shop economies from stalling after this update, the first time you load your save on this patch, any items you currently have priced way too high will be automatically adjusted to a random, acceptable value. Note: This will never be the "perfect" maximum price, so you will still need to tweak them to maximize your profits!
Streamlined Checkout: We have cut down the clicks! Serving an NPC is now a single interaction. Customers will immediately drop their gold on the counter as soon as they approach it, significantly speeding up the checkout process during busy hours.
NPC Navigation Fix: Fixed issues with customer pathfinding. NPCs should now move much more smoothly around your shop and furniture without getting stuck.
Controller/Keyboard Conflict: Fixed a frustrating bug where the keyboard would completely stop responding if you had a gamepad plugged into your PC. You can now seamlessly use your keyboard even with a controller connected.
Foliage Optimization: We have optimized the greenery and foliage rendering in the game, which should provide a nice little performance boost.
Thank you to everyone who immediately reported these issues after yesterday's patch. Your rapid feedback is what allows us to deploy these fixes so quickly!
Keep the feedback coming, and happy selling!
