Hey everyone! 👋
This one is all about the checkout. Many of you reported customers piling up at the register without ever paying – we finally found the root cause and fixed it properly. Thanks to everyone who sent in logs and saves!
🛒 Checkout
- Fixed the long-standing checkout jam: customers could get stuck at the register after a day change, and the queue kept growing until you reloaded – the cashier and the register now always continue with the next customer
- The checkout safety checks now actually work: stuck customers are guided to the pay spot, and a cashier that gets stuck restarts automatically
- When nobody is at the register, customers still wait for you – nothing gets billed automatically
- Customers no longer raise their hand again while you are entering change or the card amount
- Customers now pick a checkout with free space instead of all lining up at the main register while self-checkouts stand empty
- If their queue is full, customers switch to a checkout with free space
🧾 Self-Checkout
- Fixed customers queueing up again after paying (they could pay twice or stand next to the machine forever)
- Self-checkouts now have waiting spots behind the pay spot, so customers no longer crowd around the person paying
- Clicking a self-checkout without moving it no longer takes it out of service until you reload
- Stuck self-checkouts recover much faster
🐞 Bug Fixes
- Fixed a piece of "trash" that could never be found: empty boxes that fell through the world are now removed automatically, and boxes with goods are returned to the delivery area
- Spamming the Open/Closed sign no longer spawns a flood of cars
- Resetting traffic from the pause menu no longer removes your staff
As always, thanks so much for playing and reporting issues – keep it coming! 🙏
