- Fixes & Optimizations - 10 September 2026
Hi everyone! 👋━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⚡ PERFORMANCE🎯 Fixed the stuttering that mostly showed up at higher levels, once the store is full and everything is unlocked. 🍹 The bar was re-scanning the entire store for every drink served — this is now cached. 🎫 The winning ticket list was never cleaned up and kept growing indefinitely as the days went by. 🚦 The number of customers coming in to claim a prize is now capped and spaced out, to avoid pile-ups at the counter. 🧹 Removed leftover debug code and optimized the per-customer calculations.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🧊 FREEZES FIXED🎰 Lottery: the ticket could stay frozen in mid-air, locking up both the customer and the player. 💵 Scanning a winning ticket: the game could freeze permanently after confirming, because of a button shared between both counters.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━📦 PARCEL RELAY👷 The parcel worker kept…
- 🔧 BUG FIXES - 9 September 2026
💾 SAVES• Fixed — On every launch your employees were gone and grandpa was back asking for his money, as if the save had rolled back, while your shop itself was untouched.A save was firing in the middle of the loading sequence and overwriting everything that hadn't been restored yet: employees, grandpa, lottery tickets, prepaid cards. Nothing can be overwritten that way any more.• Fixed — Packing up a piece of the shop's original furniture and then going through the menu made it reappear: one extra copy every round trip.Affected saves are repaired on load.🧍 CUSTOMERS STUCK IN FRONT OF SHELVES• Fixed — Customers stood still in front of a shelf without ever taking anything, and you had to move the furniture to unblock them.First cause: some shelves had been slightly shifted by 0.7.3 in ongoing saves, putting the spot customers reach for inside a wall. Those shelves are automatically put…
- UPDATE 0.7.3 — Machines, deliveries and quality of life - 8 September 2026
This update covers only part of the fixes on my list. This week is dedicated to bugs only. If a bug you reported isn't listed below, it hasn't been forgotten — it's coming in the next update.🌿 GRINDERS: ONE JOB EACH • New — Right-click a grinder to assign it a plant: "grind everything", "tobacco only" or "weed only". A label appears above the machine. • No more jammed workshop because both grinders were handling the same plant: dedicate one to each crop and your worker will respect the setting. • The machine finally explains why it refuses something, instead of saying "grinder full!" when it's actually the wrong plant.🚬 AUTO-ROLL 5000: NO MORE DEAD-LOCKED HOPPER • Fixed — A hopper filled to the brim with a product unused in the current mode refused any refill, with no way out. The hopper now keeps room for each ingredient, and bringing tobacco automatically returns the excess weed to…

- 🏪 Update — Footfall, Bank & Parcel Relay - 2 September 2026
This update fixes an underlying problem that was depriving your stores of a large part of their customers, and adds a real credit system.🧍 Your customers finally all show upA flaw in the footfall system counted customers who were still on their way towards the store's occupancy limit. As a result, the shop refused to bring in new ones while they were still out on the pavement, and the displayed footfall rate was never reached. Levelling up therefore no longer increased your sales.This is fixed: stores now serve up to twice as many customers per day, and level milestones finally make a difference.• 🕗 4 customers arrive right at opening, at your door — no more waiting out the first hour • ☀️ No more deserted afternoons: one stuck customer can no longer freeze the arrival of the next ones • 🧭 Customers that are permanently stuck are now detected and sent home🏦 Bank: a real credit lineT…

- BUGFIX UPDATE - 24 August 2026
🎟️ Customers finally leave with their prepaid card receiptThe receipt did come out of the printer, but your cashier never handed it over: the customer left served and paid for, while the paper stayed on the counter, fit only for the bin.• The receipt is now handed to the customer BEFORE payment is taken: no more abandoned paper • Receipts already left lying around your shop clear themselves out • You were paid every time: no sale was ever lost🍀 Lottery tickets had exactly the same flaw• A ticket sold by your cashier now reaches the customer's hands instead of sitting on the printer • The ticket comes out of the printer belonging to THE till serving that customer, no longer always the first one🚬 Cigarette packs• You can finally hold several at once: they stack in your hands like any other product • With the pack case on your back, taking a pack off the shelf now puts it straight into…
- UPDATE 0.6.10 — PREPAID CARDS & FIXES - 23 August 2026
🆕 WHAT'S NEW💳 Prepaid cards — customers now come to the counter asking for one, on any of four networks: BLOXX, PULSE, VAPOR or NITRO. You pick their card on the register screen, the terminal prints a receipt, and you hand it to them yourself. The value of the card goes back to the network; you earn a commission, paid out when the store opens. Your employees know how to handle it for you🔧 FIXES🎱 Moving a pool table, an arcade machine, the wheel of fortune or a Flash Amigo machine while a customer was playing left the game running on its own: invisible players held the seats and the machine stayed busy forever. The session is now ended cleanly and the customer sent home🏭 Manufacturing machine: pouring a harvest crate straight into the machine yielded three times fewer cigarettes and joints than running the same harvest through the grinder first. A leaf is now worth its full three un…
- 🚬 UPDATE 0.6.9 — THE COUNTER GROWS - 23 August 2026
🆕 WHAT'S NEW🏭 Tobacco / weed crafting machine — make your own stock instead of ordering everything🏧 Bank account kiosk — most customers handle it alone and you collect the commission, but some get stuck and call you over: you fill in their file right on the screen (plan, ID, deposit, confirmation). ⚠️ Approving an expired ID counts as a mistake🚬 New item: cigars🔥 New item: lighters🔧 FIXES📦 Every customer now comes to pick up their parcel📥 Workers no longer touch the Culture boxes in the basement — no more pointless back-and-forth

- UPDATE 0.6.7 — Saves, Employees & Crafting - 18 August 2026
🌿 New — weed content is now optionalSeveral of you told us this side of the game wasn't for you. It isn't going away, but it is no longer forced on anyone.• A "Weed content" option has been added under Settings → Gameplay. It is on by default: if the game suits you as it is, there is nothing to do• Turned off, it removes that side of the game: no more seeds in the shop, nothing to grow, grind or roll on that side, no customers asking for it, and the tutorial adjusts accordingly• The store, the tobacco and the lottery don't change one bit💾 Your stock no longer vanishes when you load a save• Seed packets on a shelf could show a count while the shelf itself was empty: you couldn't use them, and the first click dropped the counter to zero and wiped the whole stock. Fixed• Cigarette packs are now saved: they keep their contents, on a shelf and anywhere else• Same fix for joints and cigaret…
- Fixes and small improvements - 17 August 2026
Your tobacco and weed workshop is finally savedYou reloaded your game and the whole workshop was back to square one. That's fixed: plants pick up their growth exactly where they left off, and the harvest crate, the grinder queue, the output bin, the tobacco and weed piles, the papers on the mat, the collection boxes, part-filled packs and opened seed bags all keep their contents.FixesJoints no longer end up scattered outside the counter box when you load a saveBills: fixed a bug that could bring back dozens of already-paid bills at once, for an amount impossible to pay. Any phantom bills sitting in your save are cancelled automatically on the next launch, without charging you a centGranita machines: waiters finally refill them themselves, just like the coffee machine. They used to announce they were on it, then stand there and never resume their shift. Keep granita canisters on your she…
- UPDATE 0.6.6 — EMPLOYEES & PARCEL RELAY - 16 August 2026
UPDATE 0.6.6 — EMPLOYEES & PARCEL RELAYCHECKOUT- The cashier no longer locks up for good: flagging an item out of stock in a way that emptied the order used to freeze him for the rest of the run, and he would never serve anyone again- The cashier finally serves the joints ordered at the counter, taking them from the box sitting on it- He no longer waits forever for a restock that never comes: after a delay he flags the item as out of stock and finishes the order- He no longer stands waiting at an empty shelf while another shelf has the productBAR- Granitas made by the barman are served in a granita cup instead of a coffee cup- The other way around, coffee can no longer end up in a granita cupPARCEL RELAY- Parcels dropped off by customers go straight onto the outgoing pallet, so there is no more loading them one by one at the end of the day. If no pallet is there, the clerk fetches one-…
- Minor update: Moving day - 16 August 2026
Your shelves now come with you to the new store. They arrive as boxes near the stockroom, with the items that were on them and their prices: all you have to do is put them back wherever you like. Nothing to buy again, nothing to re-price.If you had already moved before this update and lost your furniture, a catch-up delivery will be waiting for you next time you play: one stocked shelf for every product you hold the license for. That was our mistake, and we're sorry for the trouble.The new store is still free, but it only becomes available once the tutorial is complete — two new steps lead you there
- HOTFIX 0.6.5 — CUSTOMER TRAFFIC & SETTINGS - 15 August 2026
CUSTOMER TRAFFICThe store no longer empties out mid-day: one full register no longer blocks customer arrivals for the whole storeCustomers show up right at opening, and keep coming later before closingMore customers per minute at every level, especially early onThe customer traffic upgrade and the traffic events finally workSETTINGSThe Options menu sliders can be dragged again: master volume, music, sound effects, brightness, mouse sensitivityThe Music slider now actually affects the store's musicMouse sensitivity set from the main menu is kept in gameThanks for your feedback!

- Next update preview - 28 July 2026
Hey everyone!It's been a while since my last post, and for good reason: I've spent over a month working on the biggest update the game has seen so far. It's coming out in a few days, so here's a look at what's on the way.A NEW CITYA brand new district is coming, with a bigger and far better organized tobacco shop. More space, better flow behind the counter, and enough room to handle a lot more customers without everything falling apart. One catch: it won't be handed to you. You'll have to buy it, so start saving up.REWORKED POST OFFICEThe post office has been reworked to be clearer and more pleasant to use day to day.AN ELEVATOR AND NEW FLOORSNo more running back and forth: an elevator now takes you to the production floor, where tobacco and weed are made. And that's only the start — more floors are already planned and will open up in future updates.RADIO SYSTEMTired of hearing the same…
