# MaidUseHandCrank 1.3.0: Enhanced Automation & Affection
This update brings a host of new features and significant improvements to how your maids interact with Hand Cranks, making your automated setups more powerful and engaging!
## ❤️ Maids, Affection, and Boosted Power!
Your maids are now more than just workers; their affection for you directly impacts their efficiency!
* **Affection = More Power:** Maids will generate more Stress Units (SU) as their affection level increases. Build that bond!
* **Multi-Tasking Maids:** High-affection maids can now operate multiple adjacent Hand Cranks simultaneously! Watch them work more efficiently as their affection grows, starting with increased capacity at mid-level and further boosting at maximum affection.
* **Fine-Tune Output:** New configuration options allow you to adjust the base SU output and how much affection influences it.
## ⚙️ Smarter Work, Better Control
We've refined maid behavior and added new tools for more precise automation.
* **Optimal Working Positions:** Maids will now smartly position themselves directly in front of Hand Cranks for a more consistent working experience.
* **Dynamic Task Assignment:** Improved AI allows maids to dynamically target the nearest available crank and, when capable, efficiently operate additional cranks.
* **Continuous Cranking:** Default settings now enable Hand Cranks to spin more continuously, and SU output is accurately reported for Create's Goggles.
* **Reverse Direction:** Easily reverse a Hand Crank's direction by placing an **Item Frame** on its block – your maid will understand!
* **Simplified Settings:** The mod's configuration options have been reorganized into sub-menus, making them easier to navigate and understand.
## ⏰ Maids Need Their Rest!
* Maids will now properly dismount cushions and stop working when their designated shift ends, ensuring they get their well-deserved break!
Update to 1.3.0 and take your maid-powered automation to the next level!
