Cheapen Store Upgrade

[MrMeleeMaster]

The store upgrades are WAY too expensive, at this rate I will never unlock the entire store, we simply don't make enough money. I want to unlock new licenses, but I don't have enough space in my store. Please make the upgrades mush cheaper.

there is a mod that makes licenses and upgrades free

Is there a mod that plays the game for you too?

It was a mod first, but the devs eventually added the ability to run the game in the background (because it can already play itself).

How are you not making enough money? I am level 42 with all current licenses except the vegetable stands with 5 employees and making on $600-$1500 per day after all expenses and restocking is paid for.

Have you scrolled down and looked at your future store upgrades? You're going to need over one million dollars to get them all and with your current profit that's going to take nearly 300 more hours to do. With optimum play and a max store level your profits will only reach an average of $4.5K a day

We need more customers when leveling up. Need 5 - 10 per level. I get 52 customers a day and $400 -$600 profit after expenses. I have 4 sections to store, saving for the next section is going to be a lot of grind.

I agree that the store upgrades should be cheaper.
We should also be able to hire more restockers. I think there are to few after the fruits and veggies update.

I second this. In my experience the 6 restockers can't stock the produce faster than the customers can grab it, without assistance or boosting. That's not inherently a problem, but I feel there should be an option/way to fully automise each task if the game is supposed to be able to run in the background.

I also agree that it would actually be more fun if we just got more customers instead. The current price of unlocks is only a problem, so long as it's a nothing but a grind to get them. While more customers per level would be the simplest and most cost-effective way to balance this, I feel this is an opportunity to make other aspects of the game more rewarding.

Right now, new products, are just that. They make your store more visually interesting but that's as deep as it goes. It'd be nice if new licences also brought in new customers. They could even increase sales by letting customers grab substitutes, if the exact item they were after is out of stock. I'd love to see specific licences bring in specific customers too -- e.g. the expensive product licence could attract high spending customers.

And while the growth upgrades are practical, these could also enable/attract more customers. This could extend to things like your decorations and music system too, and also incorporate the cleanliness meter -- these could accumulate in some kind of separate 'environment' bar which also awards extra customers when filled.

That might be exactly the purpose of the game: to make us play longer, to build patience, to earn things through blood sweat and tears... wait, life already goes like that.

I use Cheat Engine, btw.
