Hello!

Our most awaited update, which includes the Staff system, is now live! This time, the update will be distributed in two parts: today we are releasing Staff, some of the new content and fixes, and a bit later we'll add House Upgrades and a whole new Decoration System. Without further ado, let's proceed to the patchnotes!



NEW

• Brand new Staff System: build Staff houses and hire sellers and housekeepers by using contracts on tourists! To create contracts, you'd need to make an Office Table first. You sellers will always go to the shop that you've first built - meaning that if you made a smaller shop first, they will go there and then to the next one and so on;
  
• Added the new Finance window (accessed by pressing "Z" on the keyboard), where you can manage staff roles;
  
• Additionally, we've added brand new Rich Tourists: they look bigger and more fancy plus their pockets are full of coin!
  
• Added transparency effects to the player's model - now you can see yourself behind various objects;
  
• Red, Purple and Orange Mushrooms and also Bee Hives, Fruit Bushes and different valuable Rocks can respawn on a wider selection of islands now;
  
• New building - Silo. You need Silo to store animal food for your workers. Please note that once you add your animal feed there, you can't take it out anymore.
  

How to use Staff?
First things first: to make an office table, you'll need one star in Crafting and many electrical parts!



After this, you'd need a house for all of your future staff. This is where things get a bit tricky: to build a Simple Staff House or Staff tower, you will need three starts in crafting, $2000 and a bunch of various resources. Staff House will host 1 worker, and Staff Tower can host 2.



But if you want to make the biggest one - Fancy Staff House - get ready to work for it! You'll need to get your crafting to the max level, the same $2000 and a moderate amount of other resources. But this one can host 3 workers at once!



To manage your stuff, press "Z" to open Finance window, and then click on this button:



Here, you can manage all your current staff. You'll be able to rename them as well! To fire someone, just click on the red thumbs down button.



That's it! Pretty simple, right? Staff will add a lot of free time for your adventures, so use it wisely!
