We’ve been listening closely to your feedback, and two things kept coming up again and again. Some of you wanted to run the game on a second monitor, almost like an idler, where the day never ends, and you stay in control of when things move forward. Others told us the opposite: you want speed. Waiting a couple of minutes just to skip a day felt too slow. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45649874/c1cd676e3cde5a3241442d3c685ff979fea1e0c2.png We hear you. Different players, different playstyles. So the team put together a Game Modes Update to let you enjoy Vending Machine Co. on your own terms. 🧘 Relax Mode

Hey Restockers! First of all, thank you so much for the amazing response to our game, we reached 70,000 wishlists with your support! Over the past months we’ve been reading your feedback, watching streams, and quietly noting where players got confused, where things felt shallow, and where you simply wanted more. The most common requests were pretty clear: make areas feel more unique, explain why sales fail, add more strategy, and make the city feel alive instead of static.
