A hard reset button would be helpful to test out new features. Like I am now level 53, but my exp numbers remain massive and make no sense. I wonder if it would work correctly if I were to start over.

Maybe you are aware of this, maybe not, but assuming there was an update, it caused the game to break. The Play button can be pushed and it fades in colour so I know it has been pushed, but nothing happens. The rather pointless Quit button does nothing once Play has been pressed. Upon a reload the Quit button can be pushed, but unsurprisingly it doesn't do anything other than break both buttons, so not entirely useless :P
EDIT: Strangely enough it works on my other browser on which I don't have an itch account and the game opens in a new 'embed' window. I use Edge, but the other one which works is Firefox.
EDIT2: I bought all the staff. The first three assigned work normally, the other nine are constantly completing the farming without the % bar filling up. I have 3500 Grapes and the Count is increasing constantly at about 100K a second.
EDIT3: The staff can be assigned to the Chicken and Cow, but they don't automate production. Also, the produce that is grown is shown in a large list where you need to scroll down for the final few crops. The Farm section is in a tiny window with only space for one product, so even though there are only two things there - Eggs and Milk - you need to scroll up and down to access each one.
EDIT4: After a profile reset, the buildings can't be bought, so I can't test any of the related bugs. Also, the exp needed for the next level remains the same as it was before the profile reset. And the mastery level remains the same though the count needed for the next level does reset.
Possibly a higher level is needed to unlock buying the buildings, but I now need 22 million exp to reach level 1, so I won't be trying.
EDIT4.1: After restarting the game, my level points had been applied so buildings were available. Same issues.
EDIT5: Unrelated to the game. I was looking at your WHO WE ARE section and noticed that you used the word 'gull.' Are you sure that's the word you meant to use? 'Gall,' maybe?
EDIT6: I downloaded the game to see how it compares to the browser version. Same issues. I made a gif to show the EDIT2 issue.
EDIT7: Intentional or not? Applying multiple employees to one product speeds up production.
So lots for you guys to figure out. Have fun ;)
Wow, thank you for all of this feedback! It is not intentional to be able to assign multiple employees to one job. We’ll take care of that. As for the play button bug, it may have to do with how cookies are saved, and they’re not updating correctly after the update. I’ll put a reload button on the main menu you for now to cure this. We’ll get to the other things mentioned as well 😀 Thank you for your support and feedback!

The game still doesn't work on my Edge browser with the Itch account, but works on my Firefox with no account.
I reset the game as instructed and the game looked to be running properly, but when I hit what should have been level 1, I stayed at level 0 and the exp needed for my next level is 262710, which I guess is what it was at when I reset.
So I farmed my way to that amount of exp and when I hit it my level jumped to 664 with a normal amount of exp needed for the next level.
But the buildings are still locked.
I closed and reopened the game and the buildings were unlocked.
The employees are a bit of a nightmare. They keep unassigning or reassigning themselves to other products. I assigned them all to their own product but many were not being farmed, so I returned to the employee menu and some were not assigned, some were assigned to the same product.
It would be nice if I could unassign a worker so that they are not farming anything, No matter how many times I try to change what they are farming, no more than five items can be farmed at one time. Many times I will assign something and upon reopening it, it will be assigned to potato or nothing.
Milk and Cow workers still don't do anything.
We’re having troubles cementing a lot of the browser behavior, and should probably just leave a note in the page to expect some bugs with it. We’re using Godot 4 which it’s web ports aren’t the most stable currently. The executable should work the most stably out of the platforms.
We’ve fixed the employees assigning problems, and will push the fix soon afterward I finish up a few more things, and noted on being able to unassign completely.
As to the problems on Edge, and whatnot. I’m suspicious the user data is messed up somehow. Navigate to the game you’d like to clear the data for, and on any browser you may be using, open the developer tools (press F-12 most of the time). Navigate to the Application tab, where you will find a left-hand window, where you will find the “Storage” section, an “IndexedDB” entry you can expand, once expanded, you will see one or multiple entries, for our game specifically you’ll see an entry called “userfs”. Click on it, and click “Delete Database”. This will simply clear the data for that specific game from your browser. This is a valid method to clear any data from a specific game on itch just for future. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask, I’ll help as much as I can :D
Thank you once again for your support, and feedback!

Those instructions worked perfectly, thanks. Good to know.
So everything that should be working is working...almost!
A few little problems with Masteries and crop names.
Is it intentional that Mastery only increases with manual farming, not employee?
Both Wheat and Cucumber are called Wheat.
Cotton is called Cucumber.
As shown in this picture:
Also on the farming page, when you hover the mouse over each crop picture, the word 'potato' appears. Tomato says 'tomato' but everything else says 'potato'.
Same old issue after a refresh - unplayable on Edge. I will now try the .exe.
Same issues on the .exe except it is playable after a restart.
I did find one new glitch though, one of those oddities that I like finding in games.
Go to the Barn and click repeatedly on the sell button. Level number will increase by your current base amount every click, money will increase (by an amount I assume is related to how much farming has been auto done between each click) the commas in your Money amount will vanish and the whole game will slow down.
Upon a restart, the level number returns to what it was but the new money amount remains.
However, clicking any 'Sell' button now increases your level by that same amount and every reset returns your level to that same base amount.
I reset and tried to make the glitch happen again but couldn't. I had almost given up, closed and restarted the game and my level was back at my old base-level number from before the profile reset.
Something odd going on but I can't repeat it. It is worth mentioning that my PC is old and not very good or fast. I always seem to have issues that devs cannot repeat and they all seem very interested in how my Twilight Zone PC will react to various updates.
If my glitches don't occur on yours or anyone else's end, I wouldn't worry too much. My PC operates outside of normal space and time. I would barely raise an eyebrow if I awoke tomorrow morning and found that it had become a sudoku-playing yo-yo .
