1. Make it possible to speed up (fast forward) time. Sometimes you have to wait a long time for the store to open/the auction to start. It's annoying.
2. On high difficulty, the second car opens too slowly. I suggest lowering its speed parameters, but reducing the cost.
3. Auctions are too slow. Please make it so that bots make big bids if the current price differs too much from the final one. And let the bots slow down with bids closer to their final decision.
4. When you get into a car, the gravity of objects "disappears". I do not suggest fixing this. I suggest making a visual effect of ropes/cables around objects in the car. So that it looks at least a little natural.
5. Make it so that the camera sometimes shows the contents of the storage during the auction. At least from the side visible to the player. The waiting stage until the bids reach normal is too long. At least you won't forget what's there "on the surface".
6. Make a button "put for sale in a pawn shop at a price of 1.5*x" (or 2*x)
TOO MUCH TO DO IN A DAY, TOO LITTLE TIME

1. I would suggest to fix this by having the option to hire employees to pick up everything from the units you buy. You could for example make it so that every employee can only do 3 units a day, so if you want to buy more, you need an extra employee.

2. have a central depot somewhere with, if max upgraded, ample space for items. Also the option to hire an employee to verify and repair items. Maybe they can only do a set amount of items a day and if you buy too fast, you need multiple employees.

3. maybe hire your own personal lockpick who also works at the depot

4. hire someone who will automatically bring stuff from your depot to your pawn shops, who also takes into account which pawn shops have which specializations, and brings the right items to the right pawn shop.

This way it makes sense to own all three pawn shops, because at the moment that doesn't make sense since all you can buy, verify and repair in a day can be sold in one pawn shop. This also gives a lot of opportunities to upgrade (depot, personnel vehicles, personnel training) so it gives you a reason to earn more money.

to keep the game interesting in further updates of the game:
- Continue to expand the map, faster and bigger cars, bigger storages, etc.
-When we are completing it, why not add a tab of all the items that can be found in the game, sortered by comun, unique, rare and epic, f.e., and as you find them, the would lit and available to see them closer and add an achievement for master hunter. when we're getting to level 50 and with all cars, storages and houses bought, it would keep the game alive.
-add more items to the game, thematics driven, movies, games, book, tv, cartoons(when possible) because of licenses
- a new class of repairing/evaluating machine, wich would do the 2 things at once
- the ability to change the speed of time passing in game
- as some items disappear in the map sometimes, add a button to reset all items in the current storage to the floor, or a box
Love the game, and the thematics presented, like Halloween and Christmas, with the adding of snow, continue the excellent work
It would be great if you coud level up an ability that let you pick the locked chests and if you fail the skill check it could destroy the chest or something like that, just so you don't have to constantly go to the shop

1. Make repairing stuff logic, don't let us repair every item we find and just massively increase our profits. Like how can you repair the blue tape ? Or make the repair level it can get make sense. A broken laptop that is burned in broken state, will be hard to get back to perfect level

2. Make it possible to fold or dismantle stuff

3. Make an option to instant sell stuff we don't want to bring. Like the tape, a book from 6 dollar or so. Give 50% for the value the verification tool says it is. That way we wont have to drive to the pawnshops for some stuff.

4. Make it possible to guess the value off the storage with the stuff we can see at first sight. Now every battle is a blind battle, and we just have to bid and hope it gets good. If you implement that, make some boxes show almost no objects and others show a lot. Change the way we play the game.

5. Make it possible to sell stuff to the experts, let them bid for your items, so you can decide if you want to sell it in your pawn, to a pawnshop or to an expert.

6. Make the verification prices fluctuate more. Object A is worth between 10 - 18 dollar, Object B is worth between 100 - 250 dollar. Make us train expertises (buy them in levels), so we can get the ranges closer.
give 5 levels for example,
level 0, 90% below - 90 % above guess
Level 1 75 % below - 75 % above range
Level 2 50 % below - 50 % above range
Level 3 30 % below - 30% above range
Level 4 10% below - 10% above range
Level 5 Exact price

So a military expert level 5 knows exactly the price for a gun, but for fashion he has level 0, so he has no clue what the value can be

7. Make the haggle worth the gamble, if you don't haggle you get the price your employee put it for sale, if you haggle you have way more chances of getting below the price.

The challenge of the game is to learn which items are worth something and which aren't. Showing how valuable a storage is, would defeat the entire purpose of the game and turn it into pure grinding.

Experts KNOW the value and would never overpay - unlike the customers of your pawnshop. It is pointless to sell to experts.

Once you have the highest level tools (which happens pretty quick, if you play correctly), this becomes pointless, as you verify everything yourself.

That, I agree with.

Change the time for auctions please. If I have to wait 5 ingame minutes for every single increase it takes hours to win an auction if I do not want to just ramp the price.
If it is supposed to continue to be 1 second realtime per ingame minute, please set the timer for each bid down to max 3 seconds. Currently its frustrating to wait all the time.

I would have liked a warning that at 8 a.m. all doors close from yesterday’s auction wins, even though I was not yet done emptying them. Very unsatisfying...

Yes, after I read through the warning when I go to bed properly, I understood that it does not matter whether I sleep until 8 a.m. or work until 8 a.m., the items will be wiped either way. I will therefore limit my daily purchases going forward. I naivly thought, I could win as many auctions I wanted at any day and just take as long as I need to identify, repair and sort everything.

But i mean remove the verification tool level, and make the levels point at every expertise. So you have to learn more about the expertises, before you know the exact price. Make every level more expensive (not level 1 = 1000 dollar for every expertise, but level 1 starts at 1000 but goes up for every expertise if you buy one). So you have to pick what you want to learn about and learn the price from.

So Verfication with your tool on military (where you have level 5), gives you the correct price. Verification of fashion or so gives you a wrong price, so you are gonna undersell stuff in your pawn shop.

Here are some ideas that the devs can implement/add/tweak

Make the small items like eye patch, neckless, silver bangles etc more visible (i know you can press Alt on the keyboard to highlight the items close to you but at late game you can go around and buy everything in one day so its not optimal to press Alt for every warehouse just to be sure)

Add canisters for gasoline buyable at the gas stations

Add bills like electricity, taxes or extra payments in general cause the money we can save is insane already in early game

Add a portable tablet for the players to interact with (while the tablet having features like buy things for the house, deliveries, messages from people etc)

Make items on boxes or crates less or not movable (its really hard to right click them when they move around like crazy)

Fix the collisions with cars, bins, sighs, polls and items in general not so rough. The moment the car touches anything is an instant freeze and its annoying to go back and forth since most of the game is moving between cities and or road

Add more car variations

Add mods support for some talented people in the community to help with extra content

Add delivery option for items that we send out for opening or verification to be send at our homes or shops for a small (or big) fee

Add car modifications so we can make the cars run or turn faster

Add events or something to do after 9PM that every storage is closed like casinos or a black market auction (type of)

Make moving items go even farther using the mouse wheel since if you have a truck you need to jump on top if it to put items in the very back

Add a helper that you can rent or buy to come into your vehicle and pack items for you so if you are in a warehouse with 3 auctions you can do the auctions while the helper packs everything for you

Add more quality variations for items like Mythic or Exotic

Add trailers for the cars

Add permissions to the shop clerks like "Do not put locked chests on shop"

Add backpacks so the player can take the tiny/small items on him cause there is no need for back and forth to the car from the storage unit

Add variety of cars in the road, i see the same cars 3-4 times in one turn waiting
Make an option for permanent markers on the map, i always want to have 1 shop selected all the time so i don't need to open the map and put a new marker for it


Add police star rating for violating red lights (that was a joke please don't)


If i think of anything else i will edit this post (probably)

The game is fun but repetitive at the moment with the same action being made over and over again but don't get me wrong i enjoy every second of it and i wish for the best for this game and the devs behind it.

Thank you :)
I would love to see a repair system where you have to hire craftsmen to help repair. a basic repair makes sense a list dust off here and some oil but for real improvement time spent at a shop to renew it. Item should also have a limit to their improvement, as in some antiques lose value if you touch them too much. I find this to be a critically needed improvement
