REPAIR BOOSTER UPGRADE

We already have the repair gun and its current upgrade path, which limits the MAXIMUM we can repair items before we need a better gun: BROKEN, BAD, NORMAL, GOOD, and PERFECT.

What I suggest is another upgrade path which boosts the MINIMUM repair to an item the first time you perform the repair function, to be capped at whatever your current MAXIMUM is. IE, if your current repair MAXIMUM is NORMAL (2 repair tool upgrades), then you can only purchase a single boost upgrade since it would set your MINIMUM repair to NORMAL.

Example Problem: I have a BROKEN item and a level 4 repair tool (PERFECT). To bring that item from BROKEN to PERFECT, I have to repair it 4 separate times.

Example Solution: I have a BROKEN item and a level 4 repair tool with the first boost level purchased. I repair the BROKEN item and it skips the BAD stage and goes straight to NORMAL. I then have to perform 2 more repairs to bring it to PERFECT.

Example Endgame Solution: I have all the upgrades for the repair gun (PERFECT maximum and all boost upgrades). I repair a BROKEN item and it automatically becomes PERFECT condition. This opens up my time to transport the items to a pawn shop/specialists and attend more auctions.

REASONING - The current system disrespects player time and input mid/late-game, as you spend most of your time mindlessly repairing items for best return on auctions. Having a repair boost upgrade gives more player choice in which upgrades to choose while playing and provides an in-game solution to an annoying issue.

Side quest:

All those android parts that you keep selling, "What are these things?" you begin to wonder. The next time you were in Black Elk to have your good friend appraise a gem you found you noticed a shiny new building with the name Cyberdyne on the outside. Something new here? You check it out. Door are open and people are going in. Might as well check it out. Desk guards curtly ask if you for your pass. There appears to be some kind of cybernetic conference going on. No pass, so you leave, but can't shake the images on the posters you saw for the conference. They looked like mechanical parts for something. Arms, actuators, gyroscopic devices.

Next storage unit you get another one of those strange android arms and remember those posters in the lobby. "I wonder if there's some connection..." you think. You fix up the arm to perfect condition, and you're about to hand it over to Jason to put on the shelf when you pause. What if...? You run out of the store, toss the arm in the back of the truck, and drive over to Black Elk at 130 mph to that glass building. You bring it inside, and just happens that one of the lead engineers is talking to desk guards and sees you walk in with the arm.

And the story goes from there. Someone stole prototypes for their latest project to sell to the Chinese. If you can get all the parts back and deliver them to them, there will be a reward. Money?

Over the next several weeks you find more parts in storage units, blind auctions, and junkyards. You get all the parts, bring them in. and you're paid a good sum of money. Plus they give you one of their early production model androids, which you then use to help you load your truck after auctions.

Side quest:
One day you decide to take a break from constant auctions, driving to the pawn shop, driving back to the auction site, loading the truck, back to the pawn shop, etc etc.

So you decide to go walking around to explore this world. Off by itself on the edge of the island is a little camper trailer with a couple of rather nerdy looking guys hanging around the outside fiddling with some radio equipment. There's some kind of satellite dish sort of thing nearby, or maybe on the roof.

I've never seen these guys before, you think. You approach, but they look a little paranoid and not interested in talking. One of the guys is wearing a shirt with the letters "MUFON" and the other has a shirt that says "The truth is out there."

The next day you're doing your auction thing, and you win one that is mostly just regular stuff, but there's this one item. A shiny piece of metal. Strange, the scanner can't identify it at all. It doesn't say Common, Unique, or even Legendary. It says "Exotic material" and everything else is question marks.

Can't put it on the shelf. Maybe those MUFON people know something.

Story goes from there. They identify it as extraterrestrial, and there are more pieces.

I don't know what else to do with that. Maybe aliens come and collect it and you get to be there when they arrive, just a little easter egg thing or something.

make it more important to actually look at the unit instead of winning every unit and always make a profit

You can already look at the auction before bidding when you walk up to the auction don't start it just walk up to it and look inside.

Small - Allow Motel rooms to be rentable for the night, so we don't have to travel all the way back to our crap shack.

You can. Just go to the motel and walk up to the a door to the one of the rooms, and bazinga you can sleep there for $50 a night and it works just like your trailer and bed.

At the second car dealership there is a smaller normal van we should be able to buy that if wanted to. It’s bigger than the trucks, and smaller and maybe faster than the big cargo van.

[Pickles]

the world is big and lots in it! maybe we should be able to loot items around the world to sell in our stores.
also the world has people but you cant talk to any so interaction between people in the world could be cool.
the option for garage sales or online auctions, or adding vehicles to sell from pawn store.
one other thing would be if there was actual mini games to repair items.
all that being said im having fun with the game i think it has good bones and i hope you keep on with it! i look forward to see what will come from future updates

I would love to see more risk/reward in the auctions. So far I have won every single auction and every auction is profit. There is no risk. Some auctions regardless of tier should be risky. Tier 5 that you paid 3500 for? You only get 3000 profit from it. Tier 1 auction you won? Has mostly garbage in it.

Edit: I want to know if I should bid on a storage unit based on what I see. If it looks like mostly junk I won't bid on it.

Edit2: Another idea is an employee who will ferry stuff across the 3 pawn shops. They will ferry items to the pawn shops that specialize is those items. A pawnshop that specializes in electronics. Your employee will take that item from one pawnshop to the pawnshop that specializes in electronics. Picks up items at that pawnshop and takes them to another pawnshop.

Why not have it where you pick up and item and click the back of the trucks and it gets placed in an inventory slot instead of wasting time trying to stack the trucks. I'm not good at games like this. I have trouble stacking items in the back of the trucks. If some players want to stack it normally, then have an option to either auto stack or stack manually. Why not have the trucks like Estate Agent Simulator? They have an inventory for the items you put in the back of the truck. If you don't understand how, contact the Devs and get some pointers.

No to all of this! The stacking in the truck is the best part of the game. It would be absolutely boring the way you want it. Stacking the truck takes creativity. If you want a point and click game minesweeper is free on your computer.

- Please make the automatic camera switchable. At the moment it is very annoying because I have to constantly move the mouse so that the camera stays in the position I want it to be. The standard position is quite uncomfortable, especially when the vehicle is fully loaded.

- Repairing items should cost money (to replace the material needed to repair them) and it should take time. Repairing items for free takes the risk out of the game. Repair - risk-free money printing. Repair shops and/or your own workshops would be best.

- Enable counter-clock wise rotation of Items (best with SHIFT + rotation key)

I second the repairing idea. But would like to expand on it. First before you can make any repairs have repair shops like the verification shops. Each level of repair costs a percentage of the value and a longer period of time to fix at the shops. Then have a back area in the pawnshop where you can have shelving and see your stock. Mostly just for visual satisfaction. But the main purpose for a back storage area is to have a work bench area you can purchase and do your own repairs. For each level you must upgrade the workbench. Doing your own upgrades would cost a lot less than the repair shops. But still should have a little cost for supplies as you said. Get rid of the silly all in 1 repair gun/machine all together. Additionally have a cleaning station to clean the items as well.

As for verification. Keep the verification shops but get rid of the silly verification gun and replace with a smart phone. To verify you click on the object and take a picture with a cell phone and it searches the item like google lens does and finds the product and gives its value and info about the item in current state. For each new level of verification must pay a fee for more in depth searches to find the more rare items. This would be more realistic than the 2 unrealistic tools currently being used.
