Good question! The 🏗️ icon is the Build / Hire button in the bottom toolbar — it's not an in-world crane. 🙂
To hire a team: go inside a business you've applied to, buy the business at the front desk first (💰), then tap 🏗️ Build / Hire → Hire to add staff. They'll work the stations automatically and earn for you, even while you're away!
I'm enjoying this a lot, great work! One question - does the energy ever go down? Seems I have to use the bed to get to day two, but it doesn't allow me to, because I'm full on energy always. So I'm perpetually in Day1 and can't reach the goals for other days.
Thanks so much — really glad you're enjoying it! 🍡
Two quick things:
• Energy only drops when you play the station mini-games by hand it refills over time (fastest resting in bed at home). Always full just means your hired teams are doing the work for you (idle income) — totally fine!
• The Day 1→7 rewards & daily quests follow REAL calendar days, not in-game sleep. The bed restores energy but doesn't skip the day — just pop back tomorrow and Day 2 unlocks. You're not stuck, it's the daily login streak. 👍
Good question! That's actually by design — only the Creator Studio can be expanded (buy land plots for a bigger team). The other businesses cap their team at 10 once you own them. 🍡
So, I buy a business like the Café, I hire people, and I THINK: as soon as I leave the building there is no more income from it? is that right? Casue if yes, I think there is somehting wrong.
You're right — that's a bug in the feel. Owned businesses should keep earning when you leave the room. Fixing it now so all your teams earn everywhere, not just the one you're in. Thanks!
Update's live — your businesses now keep earning everywhere, not just the room you're in! Thanks again for flagging it 🍡 (full notes in the latest devlog)

Where do you "hire a team"? A little construction crane icon shows but I don't see any construction cranes.

Oh I see the Build/Hire button now. Thank you. The crane icon is confusing, not sure it needs to be there.
Good catch — thanks! 🙏 Swapped the crane for a 🛠️ and renamed it "Hire / Build", and the tip now points right to it. Live in the next update!
Nice one
