Current v1.009 context
For broader loading and container symptoms, compare the v1.009 save fixes. The Night Shift machine-fill fix below remains a v1.008 historical change, not a new v1.009 feature.
Quick answer
If a Night Shift save previously loaded with empty Dough or Sauce Machines, update to v1.008: the official notes say those machines now start filled correctly. The assigned community thread discusses saving prepared dough and sauce, but its detailed replies could not be reliably retrieved during this check.
Requirements
Use v1.008 or later and confirm that the Night Shift upgrade is unlocked. This page does not claim that every loose container or prepared item persists across shifts.
Steps
- Confirm the installed version before loading the affected save.
- Load the Night Shift save and inspect both machines before producing more ingredients.
- If either still starts empty, record the version and save conditions as a potentially different issue.
Controls and storage note
No exact key prompt or universal container method is confirmed by the accessible sources.
Common mistakes
Do not combine the official machine-fill fix with the separate v1.008 freezer/tray ingredient persistence fix; they describe different symptoms.
