Shelving tabs

[RySwooperTrooper]

No no no no no

At the VERY least, please give us the ability to NOT use those new tabs on the storage shelving or turn them off. It's ugly, it's distracting [my eye used to go right to the product images on the boxes, which was great when I was looking for something specific] but now that orange square is painfully distracting when trying to search for a certain product box. Not only that, but I don't WANT my bots to store boxes on a specific shelf. I want them to store goods in the closest available spot...not put detergent in the ONE detergent slot all the way at the back of the room.

I know I can just 'tag' a new shelf, but this is one more step that those of us who don't want to use this feature now have to mess with...and when this game is based on doing actions over and over again, having to get over that 'one small thing' becomes a hassle when it's ad nauseam.

I think the player should be given the ability to manually mark only those places where this sticker will be located

Yeah. Like I understand why it was added and I get the use of the tabs...but it's use affects more than just visuals and throws a wrench into storage. If we want to mark a storage shelf spot, make it so we have to look in the corner of that space [where the tab currently resides] then use the interact key to read what's in that space and CREATE a tab. There should be no tabs by default.

We will make modifications based on player's feedback, for now you can reset the closest spots with the pricing tool the same way you clear shelves by right clicking

Yeah, just tried playing a day using your suggestion. Having to follow all my staff around with a price gun just to clear out the shelves every single time they pull up a box is...not fun at all. It leaves me totally unable to do any other tasks while even one bot is stocking shelves.

Again, very strongly recommend making this whole shelf storage label thing completely optional. Allow us the ability to go back to totally unlabeled shelves just like before the update. Useful for some, but horribly fun-sucking for others. The hassle with the shelving is making me not even want to play. Other games sound more interesting because I just don't want to 'deal' with those shelf tabs and the hassle they create.

One other reason this is bad is for players who have a shelf or two reserved for empty boxes. Storage shelves are the only place you can put an empty box without fear of the NPC workers automatically throwing it away. Since you have no way to consolidate supplies from one box to another easily [without taking two boxes to an appropriate shelf, dumping one out and filling the other], I've found it's a good practice to keep a few empty boxes on hand.

I placed the empty box shelves last, so that the bots wouldn't touch them until the whole storage room was filled. Now, for example, if I take an empty box of canned peas off my shelf and want to use it to move some items around, the bots will try and replace that empty pea can spot on my empty storage shelf. That, times however many people I may have in my game at the time...every time I want to pull a blank box from my shelves...it's not fun at all.

Thank you! This is exactly the perfect answer to the shelving issue. Everyone wins!
