How do you start the Worker minigame?
Enter Holo House and visit the bulletin board to the southeast. This board gives you basic information on the Workers minigame by choosing the Read option. To recruit a worker, select the Hire option. Here, you can send out an advertisement that generates 6 random workers whose quality is based on your Manager rank. Pick one and they'll be added to the pen to the east of the bulletin board. The worker will then spend their Stamina over time to generate Holocoins based on their Efficiency. When their Stamina is drained, they need to be fed fish or crops from the other 2 Holo House minigames. This also improves their level, which improves their stats, which improves money gain.

How much does recruiting cost?
Recruiting itself costs nothing, but sending out the advertisement that generates the 6 random workers costs ((x+1)*500), where x is the number of workers you currently have hired. If you do not like your options, you can spend the advertisement cost again to reroll.
This means a worker can cost 500 to 5000 Holocoins

How many workers can I have?
You can have up to 10 workers at a time.

Can I influence what kind of fans the workers are?
The first worker in the advertisement list is always the fan of the Holomem you are currently playing as. SSRBs are out of luck... for now. The rest of the list is random.

How do I get better workers?
Raise your Manager Level by leveling up workers. Each Manager level unlocks a new quality of workers. At level 1, you start with Bronze rarity workers, at 2, Silver, 3, Gold, and 4, the max Manager Level, Platinum workers show up, they have the highest stats.

What stats should I be looking for?
Max Level, usually, I'll talk about stats down below.

What are these names? How do I add my own?
A few months ago, the Holocure twitter sent out a link to a Google form allowing players to put in their name and what kind of fan they are. These were then filtered and then added to the game. It's likely that this form would be double checked and the in-game list updated over time, but I don't know for sure and I don't know if this opportunity will arise again.

I put in a name to the form a while back, how do I know if my name will show up?
If you open holocure.exe in notepad or similar, you can CTRL+F to find the name you put in. It will be there in plain text. But please, for the love of god, don't touch anything in the file or you risk breaking the game.

Are names associated with stats?
They are not. Stats are randomly set as much as the names are randomly set.

What if I like the stats of this Worker but not their name?
You can rename fans at your own leisure.

What are the stats of a Worker?
For hiring, workers have 4 stats.
> Efficiency : How many Holocoins the worker generates each time they generate Holocoins
> Max Stamina : How long the worker can work without needing food, also determines how much Stamina is recovered by food
> Max Level : Their maximum possible level. Level goes up by feeding food, higher tier food provides more EXP. Every level translates to 1 Efficiency and 2 Stamina
> EXP Rate : A multiplier of EXP gained when feeding food.

What are the max stats?
For hiring, I've seen up to 10 Efficiency, 85 Max Stamina, 50 Max Level, and 1.5 EXP Rate. (Thanks to xBleacheDxSungasMx for EXP Rate cap)

What makes one Worker better than the other?
Compare (Efficiency+MaxLevel) and (MaxStamina+2*MaxLevel). A worker with 4 Efficiency and 50 Max Level will end up with less Efficiency than a Worker with 10 Efficiency 45 Max Level.

How often do Workers generate Holocoins?
iunno, I've counted 8 seconds and 4 seconds, then stopped counting, it may be random. I'm willing to take more information regarding this.

How many Holocoins can a worker hold before collecting?
Unknown, possibly infinite, or whatever how many bits that value is assigned.

How long does 1 Stamina last?
Around 20 seconds, if not exactly.

How much Stamina does 1 food restore?
20% of Max Stamina, doesn't matter what kind of food it is. It can be a Shark or a piece of Wheat.

What determines what food a Worker will accept?
It's random from a list of accepted food based on the Worker's quality. A Bronze Worker will only request Shrimp, Clownfish, Tuna, Wheat, Tomato, and Potato. A Platinum Worker will request every kind of crop and every kind of fish EXCEPT shiny fish and Axolotls, so try to keep an even amount of everything.
When a Worker levels up, their desired food changes. When a Worker is at max level, they'll never change their desired food.

How much EXP does each food give?
Exact numbers unknown, but higher tier food provides more EXP. A Shrimp will get dominated by a Shark, even though they restore the same amount of Stamina. Lucky Shrimp...

How much Manager EXP does each Worker Level give?
When you level up a Worker, they give (9+7x) Manager EXP, where x is the Worker's level before leveling up. This means higher level workers will provide more Manager EXP when they level up. (Thanks to xBleacheDxSungasMx for this information)

How much food can I give my Worker?
You can give as much food as it takes to fill up both their Stamina and their EXP. Any "overEXP" will bleed into the next level. If you have tons of resources, feel free to be wasteful for faster levels.
- - - - Strategy - - - -
How do I get the best Workers as fast as possible?
Start with getting Workers with high EXP Rates and a half decent Max Level. You get Manager EXP every time they level based on their level, and higher EXP Rates let you get more levels faster. When a Worker hits their max level, retire them for a new one, and repeat until Manager Level 4. (Thanks to xBleacheDxSungasMx for this strategy)

My Manager Level is 4, what makes the ideal Worker?
You could minmax and reroll a bunch to try to get the perfect Worker, but it's not worth it. I chose to pick up Workers whose Max Level is at least 45. Not all Platinums will get that high, not all Platinums will even reach 30!

Why would I give my food to Workers when I can sell them?
It's easy for the Stamina restored of a food to grossly overpower the value of that food being sold. Even if 1 stamina = 2 ticks of Holocoins, a 50 Efficiency Worker would generate 100 holocoins per Stamina, if that worker has 150 Stamina, then
Let's say a Worker has 150 Max Stamina and 50 Efficiency. Any fish would give 30 Stamina. If we assume 1 Stamina is enough for 2 ticks of Holocoins, which means that 30 Stamina would become 3000 Holocoins. If it were a Shark, we just multiplied it's value by 4!
Of course, this is over the course of 10 minutes.

When do Workers work?
Any time the game is running. You could be playing the proper hoard mode, or grinding for fish, or AFKing in the house. This is the power of Workers, even if it takes a while to get them up to max speed.

How many Holocoins can my workers make while I go do a Stage?
10 reasonably-maxed workers can generate 250K+ coins while you're off on a Stage. I'd love to post a screenshot proving this, but I'll need to actually max out my workers. Right now, they're around level 20 each and generating around 140K+ after a 20 minute stage. It's nothing compared to IRYSes making 1.6M+ in 35 minutes, but you can do that while getting the extra money from Workers!
Just be sure to check up on them between each game for feeding, and don't neglect Farming or Fishing!

Who is your oshi?
Honestly, I haven't decided. Kronii is hot, Ina is comfy, FUWAMOCO is wholesome, Fauna plays great games, Botan is skilled at games, Nerissa is nopan, and Sana is Eternal. But for the purposes of this game, my favorite character is Roboco, as she's all about leveling up and level scaling. She also has a nice outfit and design. You know why.

What's your Worker name?
A Robosa named Tesladonna, mai waifu from a far inferior game. I spend half a mil trying to find the name to no avail...

You're wrong!
If I made a mistake, please correct me in the comments. I don't have the motivation to collect data on everything.

I got a question!
If you have a question I failed to talk address, please contact me in the comments.

Something about the 20% stamina restore is that it ALWAYS rounds down. Case in point: my Sanallite has 49 max stamina, and one item restores 9 for them.

@Ashardalon There is no way to ensure what food the workers want, no matter the level.
The rod before Golden Rod has a bias in favor of higher level fish, the Golden Rod is more even on the fish types. Trying for a specific fish is inferior to spamming Golden Rod. You could try using feet pix of the other holomems as bait, but you'll only get 1 shark and that shark can't feed workers.

how to ensure your worker ends their max lvl at a vegetable
also how to get more sharks, all my workers want the cute teethtorpedoes but i have only found one

i got to rank 4 and have a number of plat workers but tbh they make coins so fast it's assuredly not worth your time to try and optimize it, unless there's an endgame coin sink i'm unaware of.
I haven't done the math on it or anything but I have no doubt that I could comfortably buy all the remaining stat ups just via idling.

As long as they don't want Sharks you're pretty much drowning in resources to keep them fed by that point and i bet if i grind up for the golden rod that sharks would come more often than with turkey rod.

It's actually kind of a shame that it's so powerful but I guess it helps people who are having more trouble in the game. Clearing stages with coin builds sounds a lot more fun but I don't think it's quite as efficient (and even if it is it's obviously much harder)

10 perfect workers (10/85/50) will yield 400k every 20 minutes.

I only have one though…

well u get free fish if u just idle in holohouse that should cover the buffs
Shirojacky 26 Aug, 2023 @ 9:32am 
"So if you end up getting it to land on a vegetable for all ten workers, you will never have to fish again"

Not entirely correct because many of the cooking buffs also require them.
xrhymex08 26 Aug, 2023 @ 1:30am 
My workers are all max 48-50 lvl workers 8-10 efficiency with 75+ start stamina. You make around 200-300k in between games. Also side note, whatever food they land on at the end level it will remain that food. So if you end up getting it to land on a vegetable for all ten workers, you will never have to fish again

I wish there was an option to choose what food at max level :( I keep getting really annoying to get ones.
