Hey there!
I hope you're having an amazing day and are as excited as we are about this. Finally, after months of work, we can release the new update in the "Preview" branch. It will stay there for about a week, which should be enough time to finish off two missing features, balance what's currently there, and of course, squash some bugs!
As usual, I need to send out a warning: in the preview version of Roboplant, you may encounter bugs, unbalanced elements, and the possibility of save files breaking (hopefully not!). We'll do our best to fix everything as quickly as possible. If you spot something that doesn't seem right, please let us know.
With this update, we bring five big new things to the table:
- Storage filters: Now you can filter what goes into a storage area and set the desired amount to keep in there. Full description here
- Custom difficulties: When starting a new game, you have more control over the game's settings. You can set starting money, adjust workers' needs, and much more. Full description here
- Price fluctuations: The market reacts to your selling and buying activities. Selling too much saturates the market and lowers prices, while buying more increases prices. Diversification is key to staying profitable. Full description here
- Workers' experiences: Workers gain experience as they work. After a while, they'll be able to level up and obtain unique enhancements. Full description here
- New reputation system (Part 1): the contract system has been simplified, making it easier to use and more straightforward. You get to choose a partner and receive unique rewards from them. Next week, we'll release the two missing features related to this system. Full description here

Isn't the new social media table for the office pretty cool? There are other cool things we added to enhance your overall experience, but I won't spoil the surprise!
