Issue list

What you seeWhat the public posts say to doStatus
Visual artifactsA developer reply said the next patch would cover artifacts and the invisible T3 pot.1 public reference
No new moonshine orderOrders follow a customer cycle (Mon/Wed/Fri or Tue/Thu/Sat). A failed haggle can stop that customer. The 13 Jul 2026 frequency change waits for the next cycle, about seven game days.3 public references
Staff idle or missingA developer reply blamed an optimisation that skipped waiter and cleaner logic off-screen. Cooks were reported as slow. After Act 3, some saves lost staff; the suggested path was the job board, which 1.0 says it unlocked during two quests.3 public references
Too many food ordersA customer-count slider exists. Story mode stays busy; free mode eases off.2 public references
Safe will not pay outWithdrawal opens after a story beat. Wages and the weekly Locke tribute come out of the safe. Older posts describe money vanishing.3 public references
Donation box1.0 lists a fix for the outdoor box ignoring Casey’s pay and tips.3 public references
Pickpocket icon missing or instant catchRotate the item to match, hold the mouse button, move slowly, watch the alarm.2 public references
Carts missing or stuck while strippingReload and wait. 1.0 lists Steady Hammer wheels. Getting 3 of 5 parts is a known stall.2 public references
Save missingA developer reply pointed at Steam Cloud. Look in the local save folder by date and copy a backup before you verify files.1 public reference
Deal with the Devil achievementDeposit $200 while the quest is active. Money stored earlier does not count. A developer said a fix was headed to the experimental branch.2 public references
Trained staff do not show upTraining consumes a full work day. They are off the floor that day. Wages still apply.2 public references

There is no public issue tracker. “Fixed” on this page means a Steam news line or a developer reply said so, dated with the post. Open the matching guide for the system itself: moonshine, hiring, the safe, donation box.

Questions players actually ask

Did 1.0 fix the donation box?

The 1.0 notes list the outdoor donation box ignoring Casey’s delivery pay and customer tips. Older threads described the prompt that would not clear. I treat the note as the fix claim.

Are jittering shadows an official bug name?

One visual-bug thread exists, and a developer reply said the next patch would address artifacts and an invisible T3 pot. I do not upgrade that into an official “jittering shadows” ticket.
