Previous: what 1.0.1 says it changed
- Finished saves can watch endings again. A cleared yard stays cleared. Old saves are backed up before the upgrade.
- Unstuck, wheelbarrow, sack, and repile waits drop to 60 seconds. The pause menu points at troubleshooting.
- Crane autopilot restacks every 3 minutes so an arch does not freeze the pile. The horn announces it.
- A cut potato no longer jams in a peeler hopper; it returns unpeeled.
- Two ways out of the room, through the output chute and a wall fan, are closed.
- Wheels, pedals, flight sticks, and virtual joysticks no longer walk the character forward and kill WASD. Invert Y is camera only. Duplicate control lists are gone.
- Ultrawide menus and long translations fit. A failed data load tells you to verify files on Steam.
- Hard difficulty now uses Strict peeling. The puppy’s potatoes no longer count as machine output. Hand tremor can be tuned, and the puppy can be muted (it still barks if it wanders off).
Complaints the patch does not mention — a repeating noise, mopping, and stuck letters — are tracked on troubleshooting alongside the newer 1.0.2 changes.
