Auto Ordering

[lilly]

I would love the option to have auto shipments for stock in my storage area. For example, setting up a "when X item falls below X amount, order X more boxes."

I was thinking about this one too

This would be so nice. Especially as the store grows and there are more items, it takes longer to reorder and restock in the morning than it takes for a day to progress.

While I get wanting automation and all... what will you do late game? Currently you don't need to operate the cash, you don't need to pick boxes off the ground, you don't need to stock your shelves. -- When they introduce a cleaner into the mix, you won't have to clean. Ordering is all you got. If you automate that, literally all you will have left to do is to just watch the game play out by itself.

Then you can open another store in the city

In my current game besides now with the cleaning, I have all self serve registers and I sit in the corner and watch them all work/shop. Occasionally I hear someone needing help with a register but that's it. I like Idlers so this suits me just fine while looking at the numbers and figuring out how to expand/grow.

I like the idea of auto ordering. What could then be expanded is the other buildings in the grid. You could have a dry cleaner, a convenience store, a restaurant, etc. My standard day is pay bills & set prices, then do a final ordering for the day & then help the stockers stock faster. Then I open the store. I help self checkout & boost my stockers & spend a lot of time ordering. At the end of the day I generally do a final order ready for the morning. I enjoy some of the downtime to watch what is going on & look at the odd tramp stamp. I find that I'm more than busy during the day. Auto ordering would give me more relaxing time to watch things happen. I like the game because I don't have to constantly be on the go. It is when the day ends that I find it most relaxing & I want this in my game, but that's me.
