Hello! Following the rework done to employees, today’s patch features some changes that make them more efficient in addition to more fixes and a new hand device.
A small issue in which employees would sometimes drop their box while finishing restocking is being investigated, it may have to do with the new time acceleration perk.

Changelog:

- Winter event has been removed.

- Implemented a new device requested by the community: the ordering device. It allows players to order products by clicking on shelves in store or spots in storage and its shopping list is shared with the one in the manager’s blackboard. Six physical devices can be found below the perks blackboard. Controls:
* Right click to add the selected product box from the shopping list.
* Left click to subtract the selected product box from the shopping list.
* Build (E or assigned key) to buy the cargo.

- Related to previous, MART OS 2.0. star perk will make the new ordering device show useful additional info like how many products of a certain type you have in store (in boxes too) or how many boxes you need to fill the store. If players add up both values, they will know how many boxes of a certain product they need in order to fill their store and hence managing their stock in a much better way.

- Rewrote part of the restocker code in a more efficient way, the freezes that occurred when employees were assigned to restock but there was nothing to do should be gone.

- Rewrote part of the storage manager code, employees dedicated to it should prioritize storage in the following way:
* First: labeled shelf that matches the product. From closest to the manager’s room to the farthest.
* Second: Any unlabeled shelf. From closest to the farthest.
* Third: labeled shelf with any unassigned spot. From closest to the farthest.

- Employees dedicated to storage managing should now merge boxes if possible. Also improved this behavior for restockers.

- The cases where employees would take the same task at the same time should happen less often now.

- Players should now be able to change names of hired employees when clicking on their names in the Assignment tab. Make sure to accept the change by pressing Enter.

- Players are now be able to select their preferred clock acceleration factor from 2x to 5x, which could be useful when high factors make employees miss their pathing in certain layouts.

- Looking at storage boxes in shelves will now also make product information appear on the top-right corner.

- Added a new button in the game’s main menu for copying the game’s logs in the clipboard, this way players having a certain issue won’t have to copy it from the saves folder. It also removes some useless parts automatically.

- Fixed a collision issue while placing bamboo potted plants.

- Closing and opening checkout lanes is now restricted to the manager’s permission.
