I think the goods you order should be delivered in a cart that then parks in front of the shop, where the goods are neatly stacked and you or your helpers unload them.
That would also be much more realistic, since nobody, even back then, just dumped things in front of the shop/house door.
That would also eliminate a really bad reason not to buy it. It's one of the reasons that also puts me off buying it, in addition to a few others I've already mentioned in a thread.
Basically, I'm just waiting for a demo so I can test how annoying these shortcomings really are, or for patches that fix them. Then I'll gladly buy the game.BUG?? Purchasing Paint from Vendorsug_qxmfolomqtxfkca2026-02-03T19:15:39Z2026-02-20T08:18:07ZWhen I had the quest to purchase paint from the Paint Vendor, I went over and spoke with him and then purchased the Blue Can of Paint for $1.00 and it showed up in the store. The next day, I went back and purchased (I thought) another can of Blue Paint for another $1.00 but could not find my purchase anywhere. I searched around the vendor, in the store where the other paint can showed up, in the street in front of the store, etc. Never did find it. So, the next day, I thought, let me try this again. I just went back, purchased another $1.00 can of Blue Paint and same thing, I can not find it anywhere assuming it shows up in one of those (3) places. Just reporting this as a BUG or someone tell me where you find purchased paint? . . .OK, I figured it out, literally by accident. I assumed the paint would be delivered to me like everything else in a box or something but instead it shows up in your inventory screen and you have to tab over to that particular tab (paint) and select it.Workerssug_b7m57mbs85jpilz2025-12-22T19:50:13Z2026-02-20T08:17:44ZSo after hiring 1 cashier and 3 stockers. Cashier works great. The stockers however. Thier work tasks need to be seperated. Currently if the beans need to be stocked then all 3 head to stock the beans while the corn flour is going empty. Just using these as examples. 1 worker should be claiming, so to speak, the beans while another claims the corn flour.
With the current system you can throw as many bodies t stocking as you want but the results will always be the same. Them not being able to keep up with stocking the shelves.Bug - Game Loads in Blacksug_ozaqgn6ejyg7yfu2025-12-01T21:19:37Z2025-12-11T13:05:58Zwhen I load the game the clock is already and the game is just black it is completely unplayableLow stocksug_3jjkt8x2rigfamn2025-11-15T22:01:03Z2025-12-11T13:05:46ZHave a notice pop up when an item or items get low in stock, maybe a tab in the corner of the screen that you can keep checking until you have refilled itRestocker stops workingsug_aygwyokqpc4p7z42025-11-08T11:52:36Z2025-12-11T13:05:29ZI have hired 2 restockers and one cashier. One of the restockers stop working after he has delivered one cart of products, goes back to the front of the store and stays there even though there are carts on the ground waiting and the other restocker keeps still working. I have to either reload the game to make him work again but this happens eventually again and again. Very annoying. Can't play.Carrying boxessug_kfmdrhi4yrtqyw82025-11-19T04:37:54Z2025-12-11T13:04:58ZWould be good to be able to carry more than 1 box at a time, or be able to buy a small cart or wheelbarrow pleasestorage shelvessug_rkln3py8irmizvo2025-11-29T02:28:46Z2025-12-11T13:04:44ZEvery time I place a product on the storage shelf in the warehouse, the game thinks I want to move the shelf and I have to place it back in the right place.Furniture for the homesug_6jmqawweysacshv2025-10-24T07:20:03Z2025-11-03T08:11:12Zwould love to be able to buy furniture and things for the house that get to own, such as beds, seating, tables, units and stuffAdd a pic to the price tag and leave it as a place holder even after product is empty, on shelf.sug_9rkobm2wvmgnxog2025-10-15T05:53:45Z2025-10-21T08:59:41ZPut a picture of the product next to the price, on the shelf. When product is empty that pic will be available to let us know what product we had in that spot, on the shelf.Make the pickup and placement of product more fluid.sug_amtqgfmoeu9pqts2025-10-15T05:49:24Z2025-10-21T08:59:47ZRather than using F to pick up boxes, just allow us to use left click.

>for restocker<plz make every shelves can contain a picture of the product its contained ,, even if its empty the restocker can fill it with the same item in the picture , and from that storage system we was talking about before the restocker (even the player) can pull a wooden box filled with a single item from that storage to fill shelves and put the extra item back to that storage.
>for the cleaner < i notice that the restocker dropped the empty box to the trash and that make him too slow for filling all shelves and that make cleaner jobs pointless,
if there is a spot near the back door where the restocker and the magazine can drop there empty box for the cleaner . and what is making it better if there is a penalty payment for the trash nextdaymini-gamessug_uj03zcvhe8a600i2025-09-26T21:30:44Z2025-11-03T08:09:01ZI have an idea for the mini-games, which I love. How about adding an option to disable the timer? I have a disability and it's hard for me to control the mouse sometimes and it's even harder for me to control it when I see the timer ticking down. Adding this option would make them more enjoyable.Light/Reflectionsug_nvhpkrudb5vkudh2025-09-08T15:20:54Z2025-11-03T08:08:48ZVisibility of product count is pretty difficult caused by reflection on the meat shelves
(placement right behind the cash register).Customers place their items instead of throwing.sug_597wtt7uahicmmn2025-09-05T17:50:31Z2025-11-03T08:08:40ZSearch optionsug_yszwiuupgunundr2025-09-05T14:37:26Z2025-11-03T08:08:31ZA search option would be great for the storage overview as well as the restock market.Remove NPC collision on boxes/Snapp boxessug_vtcwdrampba31rv2025-09-05T13:37:18Z2025-11-03T08:08:25ZAt the beginning I used to stack and sort all storage boxes myself for a fast refill and also an easy overview which product needs to be restocked. Took me some time each day but it was worth it (snapping for boxes would help a great deal). As soon as I got my 2nd employee this resulted in a huge problem because they walk right through it no matter where I placed my stacks, kicking boxes all over the place. This made having a quick overview and easy restocking shelves impossible.
Would be cool if it was possible to either snapp boxes together like the NPCs do in storage or disable the collision box of itemboxes altogether for NPCs.Info sticker on side of box/HUD Infosug_y4hphbdlb64wfcx2025-09-05T13:31:09Z2025-11-03T08:08:17ZAtm they only ways to know which content a box has is to either look at the sticker on top or open the box up. When boxes are stack in storage there is no way to know which product is where without making a complete mess via picking up each box after the other and throwing it to the ground until I find the product I'm looking for. It would be cool to either have a sticker also at each side of the box or have a HUD info for the objects I look at (maybe even giving me the contents numer (e.g. Coffee 3x) so I know which box to take first.Stock info, accounting and restocksug_bwqybp5kwstg5om2025-09-05T13:25:49Z2025-11-03T08:08:03ZIt would be cool to have an accounting book like companys in the past had in which all my products are listed with the following infos:
- actual numbers in my shop (shelves and storage) and the possiblity to restock via shop from here
- actual market price and my price (with the possibility to change the price right there)
- sold and bought numbers of the last day (maybe even last week)
- profit of the last day/week
- overview of suppliers and daily cost (if that feature is an option for the future, e.g. getting xy bread from the bakery every day)

Crates can't always be put down. They remain in your hand, and no further actions are possible. You have to save and reload first.
2. I've hired a cashier. When I stand behind them, the book opens, but the current customer is listed with different products than the one they're currently buying, and nothing is displayed after the second customer.
3. Dusk. This has been adjusted according to the update information. However: It's getting dark, but when I go outside, it suddenly gets light again and then dark again.
4. The clock keeps running even though the store sign says "Closed."Moving Ordering tablesug_hs2n4ohvagkutwd2025-08-27T11:02:20Z2025-08-27T14:22:41ZThe table in which the book sits for ordering product cant be moved. Atleast for me. After I bought all the expansions. I cant move that table, its locked in one position. The employees and customers walk right through it as if it doesnt exist.Bug - Liquorice Jar (Large) not in "Large" tabsug_zrwp2g9unqfag4o2025-08-26T10:43:42Z2025-10-02T13:04:46ZFrom Steam User:
This item does not appear in the "Large Items" tab. It can only be found under "All" on Page 4 or something.
Many players probably miss it and have no idea. I know I didn't.
This mistake was not discovered by myself, but by the YouTube channel "Grillmastah" in his latest video. Head over and thank him if it helped you.Be able to name the save filessug_xfj4ig6qqwoh4op2025-08-21T14:27:09Z2025-08-26T10:28:47ZTrying different strategies I sometime forget which save is whichMake daily price changes accessible any timesug_fvfgrzzpbcptpef2025-08-21T07:41:13Z2025-08-26T10:30:02ZThe daily price changes are only visible once, in the daily review. Please make it accessible at any time (from the ordering book)Add option to purchase new shops for expansion and specialisationsug_uvnvcyrxxbripbl2025-08-19T21:31:59Z2025-08-26T10:38:58ZAs in title. The game description contains promise for player being able to expand and create his own - here quote "trade district". So far player can only expand his own starting shop but it has limits. So maybe one day player could buy empty buildings around the town to organize more dedicated type shops for commertial expansion?Advanced Shelves - Larger Width and Greater Depthsug_wno3uleiopbehsb2025-08-19T19:29:51Z2025-08-26T10:30:25ZTwo shelf changes for consideration, going a long way to improve restocking issues. These shelves could be higher-level unlocks.
1. Larger width shelves, 1.5x or 2x width. A long small (item) shelf could hold 18 items across instead of 9, or even moreso because of the lack of a middle divider.
2. Double or triple depth shelves. This means multiple rows of products can be stored on a shelf, allowing for far more storage before running out. For example, a triple-depth and double-width small (item) shelf could hold 21 items a row x 3 rows = 63 items.
This addresses many stocker automation problems in the game:
1. Items are removed by customers faster than they can be restocked
2. boxes can hold 15 items but some shelves only hold 4, so restockers fill many shelves with 1 item
3. single customers buying an entire shelf of items at once
4. stockers refilling small shelves and constantly returning half-filled boxes to the stockroom
5. constantly needing to buy stock from the catalogGraph showing the development of prestige, sales, and revenuesug_0hdnvxjg2ypgty32025-08-19T05:34:54Z2025-08-26T10:37:25ZIt would be nice to see how prestige, sales, and total revenue develop over time. Similar to the graph showing the price development of products on the "Market" page (see screenshot).A more comprehensive customer satisfaction reportsug_m8g4s8bql9wvkeb2025-08-19T05:21:27Z2025-08-26T10:37:48ZCurrently, each customer is listed individually with their shopping experience. Customer 1 was satisfied, Customer 2 was dissatisfied because they couldn't find the wild boar leg, Customer 3 was satisfied, Customer 4 was dissatisfied because the scoop was too expensive, etc. I think it would be clearer and more meaningful if the customer experiences were summarized. For example: 4 customers were dissatisfied because they couldn't find milk, 3 customers were dissatisfied because the scoop was too expensive, and 32 customers were satisfied. This would provide a better and faster overview of the problems in the store.Bug - Clock starts after loading the gamesug_caakhp5jqylc1wp2025-08-18T18:59:53Z2025-08-26T10:38:11ZThe clock only starts when I open the shop. But if I save the game in the morning while I'm still stocking the shop and then load it, the clock starts before I've flipped the Open/Close sign.Eventsug_jgr61uttkzoo7yp2025-08-18T12:56:40Z2025-08-26T10:38:35ZDo you have another idea for your game.
This is a big event, "The construction of the railway.
" because of which there will be many small events, for example, "a sharp shortage of certain goods or, conversely, an oversupply, the arrival of a large number of people, etc.
Here is another big event: the opening of a network of mines from a large company, where there will be many other small events.
But big events can be eaten no more than once 3-4 days.Key Bindingsug_elfwozjlajxhwpt2025-08-18T04:26:33Z2025-08-18T08:33:16ZI like to arrange keys to my needed. The 4 arrow keys for movement instead of WSADl Be great if we could have Key binding option.
Also, I wish there was a way to label the shelves. Maybe product on shelf name with price tag. I get very confused trying to remember what product goes where.Problemsug_wyivdd49b4da0oc2025-08-15T19:14:07Z2025-08-18T08:34:04ZHere are a couple more problems that I have encountered.
1) a large purchase of goods, which is why it all flies around the cash register and you have to search.
2) slow workers (I understand maybe their level increase is still in development) But I'm already at the point where I just don't even have time to deposit and pay with people.add option to remove unwanted furniture and shelvessug_vvky3kihwxlhgun2025-08-15T11:51:21Z2025-08-15T13:20:47ZAs in title - add option to dismantle unwanted shelves, the starting uglier ones, aswell as decorative items and then sell them off from furniture inventory. We start with some items which aren't exacly the nicest-looking ones plus some shelves have obviously more advanced version. Thus removing them would be good idea for player to arrange aesthetics of his shop and house.Storage shelf for extra items/boxessug_zx1041fjdfwwd6g2025-08-14T23:24:31Z2025-08-15T08:50:38ZThrowing the boxes with extra items in a backroom makes it hard to see what you have without picking up every box. Please can we have some sort of storage shelf?3 offerssug_5majrhpylcabicv2025-08-14T17:18:36Z2025-08-15T08:51:25Z1) I propose to introduce a shortage of goods due to the events of the attack on the convoy, and the goods were exactly those that I often bought, so it will be difficult to get out with other goods.
2) Here's another suggestion (it was written below by another person), BUT it would be necessary to buy warehouse shelves, also in size from small boxes to large ones, and show what goods are there.
3) It was also suggested by another person below, but I will adjust the suggestions in a different way, with the ability to choose the shelves of which goods will be there, so the employee will not be able to put other goods on empty shelves.cash registersug_boyzqkvpbfajaxl2025-08-14T16:00:59Z2025-08-14T16:23:34ZThere are very small buttons on the cash register, can you bring the cash register closer or make the buttons bigger?Loading Slowsug_7v8m0c4kkjf1ywm2025-08-14T14:12:33Z2025-08-14T14:42:21Zthe game is loading too slow, won't let me play the game and exits me out of the game when I try to fix resolution.Competitionsug_hmb3z1hh1hhi5f62025-08-14T12:11:06Z2025-08-14T14:42:45ZWhat if another store opened in our cozy town?

The drama!Customers complaining about items missing without licensesug_tctmuhfsfezuudo2025-08-09T22:57:41Z2025-08-15T14:45:07ZI already had it several times now, customers complaining items that's missing like a grass-fork as also items that aren't not open for me due to the shop level which lets your prestige sink down. It would be nice that they only complain by items that are in sell if the amount of an product is empty or price to high.Town sidequestssug_bfhy20we92mfb0q2025-08-09T20:38:33Z2025-08-15T13:40:43ZMaybe you could get little "sidequests" from townspeople that will ask you to deliver certain items in return for special decoration items or customer boost.Add snapping for shelves placementsug_yya1e9v5sav3zqc2025-08-09T20:36:09Z2025-08-15T11:13:15ZAdd better snapping when placing shelves. The should snap to each other, to walls, etc. Rotation options could be reduced to 45 degree angles, I think the almost free rotation right now makes it impossible to have a neat layout for multiple shelves adjacent to each other.Bug - Customer at counter after closingsug_lfz9tyyq10mnn612025-08-09T09:02:15Z2025-08-15T14:44:14ZA customer from the previous evening is still at the checkout at 8 a.m. before the store opensSuggestions for improvementsug_3bbp9lbqs6qkivh2025-08-09T08:38:22Z2025-08-11T07:20:11Z1. The warehouse restocking employee should only restock items where there are already items in the inventory. Otherwise, they block free spaces for items that aren't yet in the store. This happened to me, and I then had no chance to rearrange them, as the crates were thrown away at the same time—which is actually a good thing.
2. This brings me to the point that it would be good to be able to buy empty crates or retrieve them from the trash so that you can reorganize.
3. It would simplify the game if the items were displayed when I hovered over them with my mouse. Especially with the crates. I have to pick up each crate individually to find out what product is inside.
4. The thought bubble for customers when something is missing or too expensive. The graphics often look very similar, so I can't tell which item is being discussed. Either spell it out or display it when I hover over the bubble.You lose...
