Update 17: Employees

Order Picker Simulator · published 16 Sep 2026, 00:28 UTC · build 25334824

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hi, pickers!

Order Picker Simulator just got one of its biggest updates yet - employees are here! 👷👷

Your new coworkers can help with some of the routine tasks around the warehouse, such as:

  • Unloading boxes from the truck

  • Refilling your bins

  • Loading your finished orders onto the truck

Employees have their own working hours, so they won’t be hanging around the warehouse all day. And thanks to the power of unionization, you don’t have to worry about hourly wages - just pay the hiring fee, and the company takes care of the rest!

For now, there are 2 employees available for hire, but expect more coworkers to join the warehouse in future updates.

And this is definitely not the end of their story! More employee capabilities are coming in the future, and I still need some time to polish and improve the current employee system.

I’ve tested a lot of different situations and edge cases, but there’s always a chance that something unexpected will happen. If you find any bugs, please report them in the Steam Discussions so I can fix them!

Happy picking! ːsteamhappyː
