How does the manager work exactly, can someone explain the interface?

nobody knows.....

This is my assumption:

Grocery Order Threshold (1-60)
When you have less than this number of any particular grocery on your property, he will order more.

Grocery Product Order Multiplier (1-15)
How many total boxes of groceries can be in a single order.
(Could be multiple boxes of the same product, or all different products.)

Item Multiplier per Grocery Order (1-8)
How many boxes of each grocery type are ordered at the same time.
(Should he order 1 box of 5 Cola each time, or as many as 8 boxes of 5 Cola each time, which would be delivered as 1 box of 40 Cola)

Toiletries Order Multiplier (1-10)
How many of each toiletry to order each time.
(No clue what triggers this, since there is no Toiletry Order Threshold)

Yeah this is how i've interpreted it too from playing.

Just last night, I was wishing the Grocery Order Threshold could go higher than 30, and when I started playing today, I noticed he doubled it to 60, lol.

I would be down for that slider to go all the way to 100.
And I would also love if the Item Multiplier per Grocery Order could go to 20.

AKA If I have less than 100 of a thing, order 20 Boxes of that thing (So 100 of most things, or 200 Water/Soda)

[BigglesVII]

I would be in favour of it going up to 150-200. With 20 shelves and 15 shelf based items, in-order to keep them fully stocked a higher threshold would be better. I'm currently manually ordering to try and fill all the warehouse shelves up with goods aswell.

I have my target stock count at 200. Yet he is still idle. I'm firing his ass and getting a new guy.

I agree Spud! He doesn't do a darn thing and surely hope a replacement manager would be wholly different. If they all act the same, I'm going to do away with the position. Dev:: What I would really like to see is a way to maintain and copy the llast order placed. In other words, I want to duplicate the last order I made.... help me accomplish that with one key command on the order screen.???

I really wish the a dev would add a pinned thread to this forum explaining how to use the manager properly and how each part of the interface works and what it does. So far all I have seen in this forum is players guessing what does what. I am guessing that the manager is actually useful and "manages" the gas station, but one small wrong change by a player to the managers interface and your gas station is broke. Ask me how I know that? LOL

Did they remove those settings?
