Am I doing something wrong or do you have to place each item every time?

[freezray]

Every time I open a knew business do I have to place down every piece of furniture or is there an automatic feature? It was kinda fun at first but became kind of boring time sink very quickly. Especially when the money finally starts rolling in and you're rich but still have to run around town placing everything.

I know about having stuff delivered but even that kinda sucks since you're limited to 18 items per delivery. While some of the bigger builders can hold WAY more than that. I wish there was a copy&paste system like in some other simulation games. Once we have a general look for how a... let's say coffee shop looks we copy that look and then paste it over another building. With some minor tweak so everything fits then all you have to do is order the furniture and it automatically fills in over time.

Right now you have to place everything manually but a blueprint system is already on the roadmap

[ElJaffoGuzman]

yep its very tedious doing that at the moment, there is a thing in the roadmap which will be a HUGE QOL update. which is meant to be some sort of interior designer so you can design order and place in one go, at least that's my understanding of it, currently, its a bit ♥♥♥♥♥♥ tho, so i just buy other businesses and upgrade them

Ok great I looked at the roadmap kinda quickly so I must have missed it

I am not sure at 100%, but i view somewhere they want to make a system style "blueprint" where you copy the setup you have make for a market, and be able to use it in an another place,

but i am not sure if they want to make this for the next patch, but i think if you remove this side of the game, and make it automatic, you will have no big thing to do in the game after...,

but i think the "blueprint" will perharp only show where to place the thing to have the same setup, i am not sure they will put objet automatic in place in the same time...

Honestly the game has bigger problems if automating the store/office setup is an issue. They've pretty much said they plan on adding events to the over-world. So I'm sure setting up furniture and going gambling won't be the only thing you can actually do in the future unlike right now.

There aren't enough buildings to buy in the game for this to make sense. I could see running out of buildings that have good traffic and are large enough very quickly if you kept blueprinting everything so fast.

i'd prefer a floorplan system where you hire someone from a company to visit your store and use a catalogue to create a plan with them, which they then build the next day or so

[Tanyon]

They did say blue prints are in the works.. what exactly that means who knows but I agree I bought a 50 cap office and making like 4 trips and then placing everything down myself is super crazy and I have MEGA OCD so I want it to look perfect.

Quick question are you using exploits? Because unless you are there is no reasonable way someone could fill in all 20-30 empty* building lots in any unreasonably fast manner. Unless you and I have different meanings when it comes to the phrase "very quick". Also a blue print system is in the works already. That said like I told someone else if this fairly monotonous, boring and, tedious part of the game is the only real game play. Then this game has got way bigger problems then it does now. Because the developers definitely never planned for this to be "furniture shopping: the game".

[Kyle]

personally i have fun setting up the business design and tweaking my advertising, employees and itemtypes

it definitely is the main gameplay here, making a business that is successful, unfortunately the game is relatively easy even on hard difficulties, we're still in ea though so hopefully a lot of balance changes are in the works

Clothing stores are the worst since clothing racks only serve 10 people per hour. A full 75 capacity clothing store with all 8 clothing varieties is 64 racks and you have to configure those 64 racks one at a time. Ugh.

Yea so to me that might be fun ONCE.. I really like Kyles idea like having a foreman or contractor who you tell the design to and they implement it in a day or 2 or maybe you could pay more or less to have it done in different time frames..

I don't think you understood what I said. What I said was, if they made a blueprint system which would vastly speed everything up, you would quickly run out of buildings to buy since hardly any buildings are even available that have enough traffic to get much profit. Once you bought those other would be none left to buy and place the blueprint.

the market is dynamic and what is for rent changes frequently
