Shop Running When Away

[Power]

It doesn't seem that the shop does anything when Im gone despite having stock and employs and being set to open automatically. I can understand the issue with loading when the player isn't around etc. But maybe obfuscate it to some backend process.
Basically Employee schedule + Shpper limit + items in storage accessible to employees + shelf space x hours x value of possibly sold item = money in the vault.

Then you just start that equation when the shop unloads and finish it when the shop is loaded back in outputting money in the vault and removing items from the shelves and storage that were "sold" while we were gone.

Hi Power, do you have haggling employees?

Hi Power,

Are you able to send me your save file by zipping the following folder and emailing me at [e-mail]? C:\Users\YourName\AppData\LocalLow\AirstrafeInteractive\Saleblazers\Saves\YourSteamID (which is a bunch of numbers). Please reference bug #13008.

The shop should work when you’re away, so we’d love to investigate what’s going on.

The shop should be running when you're away or sleeping, so that's weird that it's not happening. Save files would be appreciated. The only thing I can think of is that self checkout machines don't count towards this simulation, but we're releasing a patch today that resolves this.

But also, yes good idea! We don't do that, but if I were to do it again I would rather do it your way. We do a step by step simulation which takes a more time than your approximation.

I wanted to check to make sure there was an issue. So I spent the day away from shop again. I left with 7k in the vault and came back after about 10 ingame hours later with no sales, no profit, although I was deducted 100 from the vault for some employee salaries.

I checked the schedules and the shop sign to ensure everything was set correctly. Shop works fine without intervention when Im there. Just not when Im away.



I'll send you guys the save. It also has another bug present at the time I saved and exited. I was receiving 10 dollars every few seconds to my inventory for seemingly no reason.

Email sent.

today 1/9 my customers cant find the cash register (bamboo) or they cant find a path, and my shops lose money unless I'm there also and the end of day earnings are always negative even though the money has gone up in the vault
