Update 1.0.6: Order balance

The Sorting Bureau · published 27 Aug 2026, 11:37 UTC · build 24969454

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Orders used to arrive with a good part of the work already done. This one is about fixing that,
plus two other things that decide what lands on your desk.

What changed


- An order doesn't show up half sorted anymore. It could happen that more than half the things
were already sitting in tidy piles by the right boxes, sometimes almost the whole desk came like
that, and there was nothing left for you to do. Now a much smaller part arrives ready.
- Orders repeat less. Two in a row could hold pretty much the same things. A familiar mix gets
turned down more often now, even when it's a different client and you're sorting by something
else.
- Photo orders come out even. When a row was short, the extra things piled onto one kind, five of
these and one of that. Now they're spread evenly and there's a cap on how many show up, so the
rows are the same length and the edge of the sheet isn't ragged. We're still working on this one.

And one more thing


One more fix went out last night. Some players were getting stuck. If you went through the
letters in an unusual order, the shelf could end up empty afterwards, with no clear way to go on,
and it looked like the game had ended or broken. That shouldn't happen anymore. If you run into
anything like it, please write, we'll fix it fast.

Game update10 Sep 2026New Update 1.0.7: A lot of improvements and fixesHey everyone! We're still here, still working on the game, still fixing what you tell us to fix. Reviews, complaints, all of it. This update came out of that. Added - Right click adds an item to your handful now, and there's a toggle for it in the controls. The rest of the update is mostly about the orders themselves. - Six new orders from Hana, with construction parts. Sort them by color, or b…Game update26 Aug 2026Update 1.0.5: Controls, and settings for themSorry about the controls in 1.0.4. We changed the way things stick together, and building piles got harder instead of easier. Most of that is rolled back now, and the parts people disagree about have moved into the settings, so you can set them the way your hands like. From here on we'll be more careful with control changes, and when there's a call to make, it goes into the settings rather than…Game update25 Aug 2026Update 1.0.4: Piles and fixesAdded - A Recommended settings button in the graphics tab. It matches vertical sync to your monitor and clears the manual frame cap. Fixed - Piles formed when you didn't ask for them. Putting an item back where you took it no longer makes one, and a pile won't swallow things buried under other stuff. - The game ran as many frames as your monitor could take, and laptops ran hot for a game about…
