PSA for those frustrated with Employees and Bulk Orders

[Ninjaboi8175]

While employees won't touch bulk crates nor the forklift, you have multiple ways to get them to actually store them.

1) When your ordered bulk crate arrives in the truck, simply unpack it while inside the back of the truck. Any employees set to "Unload Truck" will recognize the freight and do their thing.

2) You can unload the crate yourself with the forklift anywhere in the store (as well as anywhere outside to the right of the loading door), unpack it, and any employees set to "Clean Up" will grab the smaller boxes and store them.

The dev apparently changed the "Clean Up" command to not only clean up empty boxes, the employees will now store boxes anywhere in or to the right of the store. Including the truck! So unless I've missed something, it's objectively better to have any unloading employees set to "Clean Up" instead of "Unload Truck". They literally do the same thing but with a lot more flexibility. The only reason you'd want to keep them set to "Unload Truck" might be if you have small boxes on the floor in the store that you for some reason don't want them to touch.

Also bonus tip: While playing with a group of players it makes more sense to sort items in your storeroom, but otherwise if you prefer to have your employees handle storing and stocking product then don't set their preference to storing boxes with matching labels. It'll create a chaos sorting method in your storeroom but employees will store them quicker and you get the benefit of purchasing bulk orders without worrying about assigned locations in your storeroom. This fact has saved me a lot of headache.

Hopefully the devs continue to update employees and make them more competent and flexible. Personally I want to see an option for employees to tackle unloading crates using the forklift into a designated loading spot on the ground (preferably one we can move/set ourselves).
