Patch Notes
0.13.0
- Added: One-way swing gates. Allows for better control over customer flow. Employees ignore the gates. Please be aware that it is very easy to trap your customers if you don't pay close attention to how your gates are arranged; make sure there's always a way out.
- Added: Self-checkout. Research the Self-checkout project and unlock self-checkout machines to minimize your dependancy on human cashiers. While the advantages are quite obvious, self-checkout has the following drawbacks:
- the average checkout time is twice as long as with a cashier.
- the maintenance cost of a self-checkout machine is $100/day.
- 1 out of 4 customers will attempt to game the machine and steal the product.
- 1 out of 4 customers will be aggravated by the machine interaction and leave unsatified (they might continue shopping though).
- unlike sociable cashiers, machines don't cheer up customers and improve their satisfaction.
- cashiers working in a store with self-checkout machines have a 30% penalty to their satisfaction.
0.13.1
- Changed: Shoplifting probability at self-checkout is now balanced with the shoplifting sandbox setting:
- mild: 1 out of 12
- serious: 1 out of 8
- massive: 1 out of 4
0.13.2
- Added: More stats for individual businesses on the Manage Zone menu (gross profit, maintenance, salaries, sales, theft).
- Added: An 'open' frame for the gates' sideviews .
- Fixed: The cost of items stolen at self-checkout not being deducted properly.
- Changed: The 'Fashion Victim' trait to include more clothes types and updated the description.
