The v0.1.63.19293 update for Japanese Ramen Simulator brings significant changes to shop management and player customization, delivering features previously highlighted in the developer's early-access roadmap. This patch focuses on automation and quality-of-life adjustments to streamline the gameplay loop.
New Automation: The Ticket Machine
A primary addition is the Ticket Machine, which becomes available for purchase once a shop reaches level 12. This equipment automates the ordering and payment process. When installed, customers place their orders directly at the machine, and an order slip is generated at their seat. Payment is processed automatically when the customer departs. Note that if a player sends a customer home before they finish their meal, the payment process will not trigger. A tutorial is included to explain the machine's operation.
Staff and World Customization
Players now have expanded control over staff appearance. The customization suite allows for modifications to faces, body types, and clothing. Additionally, players can apply custom patterns and colors using the My Designs feature. The update also introduces World Settings, allowing players to adjust the passage of time between 0.5× and 1.5× speed, which dynamically scales the interval of customer arrivals.
Quality-of-Life and Camera Improvements
To assist with motion sickness, the developers have introduced new third-person camera settings. Players can now adjust the camera distance, choose from three presets, and toggle between over-the-shoulder views. Other improvements include:
- Inventory Management: Players can now carry up to three supply or building-item cardboard boxes simultaneously.
- Multiplayer: Text chat has been implemented to facilitate communication between players.
- Cleanup and Storage: Drinks can now be chilled while inside supply boxes, and empty bottles can be discarded directly into trash cans while holding a serving tray.
- Handcart Controls: Movement and camera controls for the handcart have been adjusted to align with standard movement, reducing performance costs during sharp turns.
The update also addresses several technical issues, including fixes for staff collision, building placement, and rendering cache crashes. Players experiencing connection instability in multiplayer are advised to contact support.

Limitations
The developer has noted that the order of roadmap implementation is subject to change based on development progress and player feedback. Furthermore, while the new camera settings are intended to mitigate motion sickness, their effectiveness remains subjective and dependent on individual player sensitivity. The impact of the new time-scaling settings on specific shop management strategies has not been independently verified.
