John won't open his store

[notyu]

It wasn't a Sunday. Between 7 am and 8 am, John had wandered into Fletch's tent to look around. At the stroke of 8, John tried to head to his own building...by walking straight into the corner of Fletch's tent as he made a beeline for his own front door. For some reason, he wasn't trying to leave thru the front tent flap, just kept trying to walk through the side of the tent. At 9 am, he was still stuck there and nothing in his shop was saleable yet because "the store wasn't open" yet. Only way I found to fix this was to restart the day and have John auto-spawn somewhere else.

I have had similar things happen a few times. One thing I found that sometimes works; go into your house or one of the other shops if you have them. While you are in another building, it is as if they simply teleport to the location they are supposed to be in.

I had an issue where John was in his store but wasn't selling anything. It was like he was not in work mode. I slept until the next day and it fixed it.

Both bugs happen often in our games. Need to restart the day.

In my game John takes Monday's off about 75% of the time. Is this a bug? I thought it was by design, since it started about a week ago. I hope it get's fixed soon.

It is a bug. If you don't feel like to restart the day, you can run far far away til you cannot see John store, then turn back. For my case, doing this will have high chance of force him open back the store instead of standing in front of the counter and all the goods show "Shop closed".

One of my bug however is I was fighting croco near Rayne one day, and when the time strike for her to open the shop, the shop is open, but goods shows "Clerk Busy". In the end, I found her trapped on an island on Billabong pond, and I don't even build any bridge yet. LoL, I bet she get so scared and swim to the island.

haha, that's funny. I have noticed them swimming occasionally when hanging out together and following me, but I don't think you can let them get to far behind or they may get lost.
Thanks for the tip.
