It's patch time!
Hello, everyone!
We've been monitoring all your bug reports and feedback, and we have our first patch ready for 0.8!
Autofill
For the new 0.8 autofill, we had previously focused on a speedier calculation, but based on player feedback, we have optimized the operation, fixed a couple bugs, and made it even smarter now!
[*] Fixed a few gaps in the schedule, even when you had enough employees to cover those gaps
[*] Fixed Headquarters schedules were failing in some cases
[*] Fixed if you dragged a schedule to the edge of the screen to reduce the length of the shift, it didn't update the total hours of the shift
[*] Autofill will now schedule employees up to 12-hour shifts each day
[*] It will now more strategically assign desks to office employees, based on their demands
And for the biggest autofill complaint - the Autofill will now aim to avoid creating those 2-hour shifts and will give each employee a longer shift.
This calculation now takes a bit longer, but don't worry, you have two options!
[olist]
[*] Just leave the scheduler tab, and it will continue the calculation in the background
[*] Check the toggle for "Fast auto-fill", to get those faster, 2-hour time blocks!
