Why did auto-assign undo my roster?
It swaps rest and work. Set the three jobs yourself.
Staff
Match the job, rest them in the apartment, spend sediment only when you need another body.

Farmer, retailer, manufacturer. Assign by talent. Auto-assign, in the reviews, pulls workers off a live job to rest and wakes resting ones. The quick-select box also resets to off every time the roster opens, and the only sort is stars.
Turn auto-assign off if your line keeps swapping.
Overwork drains Sanity. The recovery building is the Peoplesprout apartment. Rest is not optional flavor.
Release sprouts you will not use. The button exists so the roster does not fill with bodies you cannot house.
Mid-game. A finger, an eyeball, or a brain is the seed in Bone Nail's own description. The demo only showed this system.
The material players are short on is alchemical sediment, and it comes from a failed extreme craft, not from a clean potion.
| Need | Do |
|---|---|
| Nothing is planted | Seed queue, then a farmer |
| Goods sit in storage | A manufacturer, then a retailer |
| Sanity is low | Apartment |
| Too many sprouts | Release |
| Cannot grow the next one | Sediment from Extreme Alchemy |
Sissi farms. Nene keeps the sprouts once you have a roster. Neither replaces the queue or the apartment.
Alchemy can push a skill onto a sprout. Equivalent exchange still applies, and a bad element mix goes wrong. Practice on a spare.
No public cap, wage, or apartment timer. The Sanity meter is the rule you can see.

You don't. Fail an Extreme Alchemy craft, or use the oracle card that forces it.
