Update 19.5 - Basic automation, greeting, and more
Hi all,
Another update going live.
Greet world interaction (long right click at location) - While in this mode your character will be extra approachable and people will come to chat. A good way to meet the towns people. This mode is cancelled when you move.
Extra details about what your spouse is spending money on.
Crop bonus for field size is no longer an upgrade and will happen automatically.
People more likely to stay in the Alehouse over night. Priced lowered.
Storage changes - Most buildings now have the same max stack (60) when fully upgraded. Most buildings will now also have six storage upgrades. Some buildings have additional upgrades to add more slots.
Basic automation has been added - You can now set your business to produce goods automatically, set a budget for purchasing goods, and instruct when to sell goods. This is still quite rough and will be expanded on.
Fixed a bug where Alehouse workers would leave their jobs for no reason.
Fixed a bug that would cause corrupt characters.
Fixed a bug where if both corrals were set to the same there was no added bonus.
Farmhouse should now be easier to select.
Tweaks to some farm productions.
Thanks for the support!
Cheers,
Stardog.

New upgrade for the farm that allows for more gain from crops based on field size.
New upgrade for the farm that allows you to move your corrals and fields around to make better use of space and to maximise field size.
