How many employees currently?

[Ser Hexenkartothek]

I just read that the airstrip DLC cannot be given to an employee. I don't like that. So is the number of employees in the game such that I can assign an employee to every other function now other than the airstrip? Last I played I still had to stock shelves and take shipments in which I wanted to automate.

I agree we should be able to at the very least hire a gas station manager who can order supplies and move employees around where they are needed most. This dlc is too much to add to the existing tasks and expect to keep our business running smoothly. Need enough employees to cover tasks and it would be a nice touch if once they were assigned a task they would return to that task until reassigned. So, after breaks or the next day, etc..

i would like more workers and auto pay and back to work. but mainly i would love if i could lock slots on the shelf for specific items so i can order and have a worker stock them like a normal manager would do. it could tell me how many of the locked items i am missing so i know what to order. it would be so much fun

Just a reminder. This game was not released with all those employees we now can choose from and delegate tasks. It took a few updates before the tedium and craziness was calmed in the originally released game. If they are planning on integrating the motel and diner in cross play; there will have to be way more automation and more employees to assign tasks to. I believe the devs have an evil and possibly exciting plan to make all those games run like they are supposed to. First they have to work out the kinks before they add any more NPC's or any other tasks. There is no way to clean sand mounds, order gasoline for both locations, order inventory, fill in for your tired employees or close a certain building until employee is rested, plus keep towing Joe and fixing his darn airplane, plus run all those trades that come in about every 5-10 minutes. Phew, I am just tired just listing all those things. Sometimes too much micro management in a simulation can kill the fun..

Why are people talking about cross play? They already said they wasnt gonna do that now and make the diner and hotel into its own game. You will see your hotel and diner from your gas station but you cant go to it they said. It was gonna all be in one game but I guess they thought they can make more money by making them into different games.
