Sanity and Rest

Three jobs

Farmers, retailers, manufacturers. Bone Nail's line is that they cover almost every repeated click, and you only pick who does which job.

Talent matters. A farmer on the counter does not fix Seeds depleted, and a retailer does not run the machine. Read the talent before you confirm the assignment.

1.0.12 added sorting and filtering to the Humanwood storage screen, which now remembers the last sort you picked.

Sanity

Overwork empties Sanity. Recovery is the Peoplesprout apartment, not a night of leaving them on the plot. Put them in the apartment when the meter drops. Leaving them assigned through the warning is how you lose the worker for longer.

1.0.5 fixed Humanwood that did not work at night, so a sprout on the plot is no longer idle after dark. Sanity still drains, and the apartment is still the recovery step.

If you have more sprouts than jobs, release the extra. The game includes release so you are not forced to house every body you grew.

• One job per sprout, matching the talent.
• Apartment when Sanity falls. Do not wait for them to stop moving.
• Release sprouts you will not staff.
• Save sediment for the next unlock, not for a fifth farmer.

How you grow them

The Peoplesprout pitch is literal. A finger, an eyeball, or a brain goes in the ground and comes up as a worker. The system opens in the mid-game. The demo only previewed it.

Growing another one spends alchemical sediment. If Assign is hungry for sediment, use the sediment guide. Do not expect a clean, successful potion to drop it.

Sissi and Nene

Sissi is the first full-time hire and a farmer, even though she wanted to be a housemaid. Put her on the field.

Nene is described as the Peoplesprout keeper, not as another pair of hands. She is the management side once the apartment and the roster exist.

The auto-assign complaint

Launch-week reviews said auto-assign pulled a working sprout off a job to rest and woke a resting one, and that the quick-select toggle reset to off every time the roster opened. Those reports predate 1.0.5. None of the notes recorded here from 1.0.5 through 1.0.12 name auto-assign, so this page does not mark the swap fixed.

If auto-assign is still shuffling your line, turn it off and set the three jobs by hand. It is slower. It stops the swap.

What is still missing

1.0.8 added a Not Working display for Humanwood, and 1.0.12 added sorting and filtering to the storage screen. Neither note publishes a Sanity number, a wage, or an apartment timer. Use the meter in front of you.

Abilities from alchemy are a separate experiment. Bone Nail says you can transmute junk into a skill for a sprout, and that a wild element mix misbehaves. Do that on a spare sprout, not on Sissi.
