Late game supply orders are getting tedious

[aerational]

I'm only level 34 atm so I can imagine this gets really bad. Does anyone know if there is any plan to streamline this? Seems like the game has become stockroom simulator... I spend all my time scouring the storage racks for empty shelves, placing order after order in the computer and then moving piles of boxes into storage. I would like more time to customize, expand my businesses.

It would be great if you could have a spreadsheet or something that shows you your stock and what you need... and wouldn't mind having the stockers help with market orders. Also having some more functions in the market, like an "out of stock" filter that shows everything you're out of and also the ability to order more than 10 things.

Reached level 40 and I am in the same situation. Great game and want to progress, but more products would mean even more restocking 🤣 it would be handy if the restockers could pick the boxes up when they are delivered.

I don't even mind stocking as much as having to find everything I'm out of and place several orders to get it all....but yeah I don't really want to have to stock more boxes than I am now either.

There are mods that can accomplish what you need. Just take a look at https://www.nexusmods.com/supermarketsimulator/mods/

Tons of mods that hugely increase the QOL for this game, I would highly suggest giving modding a try. It makes things immensely more enjoyable!

Just dedicate 1 rack per license and do them in order ... you can get the order from:

This way you wont forget where they are.. I'm SP 90 now with 2x license to get.. but I can go directly to the storage rack holding a particular item as I kept them in order of purchasing.

Hope this helps :)

PS I hate mods and have played default and have enjoyed every moment of it!

This is helpful, but it's one of those things gamers do to work around lack of functionality that should just be in the game... I'm guessing he's planning on improving the overall mechanics so hopefully full release is better.

I have the same problems as many others here. When you get to the late game area, where you have almost all the licenses, the warehouse becomes far too small without mods, and four fillers are no longer enough.


Even if I help out, it easily takes me and my restockers 10 to 15 minutes to restock the entire supermarket.


You need at least two or three more restockers for the late game area and the store would have to be almost twice as big.


To be honest, if it weren't for the modifications on external sites, I would have finished the game for myself long ago. Without modifications, which speed up the game a little and also accelerate the speed of my cashiers, this game would no longer be playable in terms of time, as it would take almost 30 minutes to refill the entire supermarket in real time without modifications.

gets worse when your level 100, can not move in the stockroom and the pile of stock on the road is a mountain lol

I think you play and learn what items need more in stockroom and which need less. I take one day before I open to completely stock everything, the next few days I just run through and restock what I need. It streamlines it somewhat, and I never run out of anything. I am using a few mods right now, until the updates catch up. I believe that struggle is part of the enjoyment of the game...figuring out how to make your store and stock work better.
