Today’s update includes a mix of gameplay fixes, moderation improvements, admin quality-of-life changes, content fixes, and server deployment improvements.

Gameplay & Object Fixes

• Burglar NPCs can find more things to steal – not implemented yet
• Burglars were previously searching for only a small list of exact object models, causing them to leave most lots empty-handed.
• They can now recognize equivalent TVs, toilets, showers, refrigerators, and dishwashers from the same object families.
• Multi-tile objects such as larger TVs are also recognized correctly.
• Servo / caretaker chore improvements
• Fixed Servo repeatedly getting stuck at dishwashers and cycling its outfit/hat animation.
• Caretaker NPCs now check whether an interaction is actually usable before selecting it.
• Empty dishwashers are no longer repeatedly selected for Wash Dishes.
• Healthy objects are no longer incorrectly selected for Repair.
• Restaurant table checks no longer get permanently stuck
• A check created just as a restaurant round ends could remain attached to a table forever, preventing new patrons from using it.
• Orphaned checks are now automatically cleaned up when the table becomes available again.
• Restaurant music overlap fixed
• Fixed cases where the jukebox and restaurant round music could play at the same time.
• Jukebox interactions are now suppressed during active restaurant rounds.
• Snowy Cypress and Tumbleweed shrubs fixed
• Snow-covered shrubs could remain permanently stuck in their winter appearance on normal lots.
• New shrubs now initialize with the correct green appearance.
• Existing affected shrubs automatically repair themselves when the lot loads.
• Also fixed stale 3D mesh caching that could cause old object graphics to remain visible even after runtime visual patches.

Moderation & Admin Improvements

• Moderation actions will now give the reason to players in game
• Players removed by an administrator now receive a proper Disconnected dialog explaining why.
• Previously, the reason could arrive as an unread message immediately before disconnecting and never be seen.
• Normal disconnects and logouts remain unchanged.

Green Wednesday

• Added recurring Green Wednesday inbox announcements
• Players will now receive an in-game mail explaining Green Wednesday instead of needing to learn about it through Discord.
• The reminder system is generic and can also support future recurring server events.
• Duplicate mails are prevented if the scheduled task runs more than once.
• Players who are offline receive the announcement on their next login.

Known Issues

• Some lots will have strange elevations for “surrounding lots” as the server is still syncing.
