The Smelly Customer Mechanic Adds Nothing But Frustration

[Awful McBad]

As per the title, the Smelly Customer Mechanic adds nothing to the game once the initial "LOL SMELLY CCG PLAYERS" gimmick wears off.

They're too frequent and if there's more than one entering at the same time they bypass the machines.

They make other customers leave(or at least it appears that they do. I've seen one sit down and the two people sitting next to them immediately leave.

Please change the mechanic or lower their frequency.
They drain a full bottle of out the Tier 1 cleaner machines in less than 5 minutes and your stockers don't replace it.

Putting the machines by the door fixes the issue that you are having. Once you get a high enough level you only need 1 machine that you need to look after.

I put two of them by the door because they kept sneaking past one.
If they don't have two cans in them they don't work properly.

The mechanic is bad and need a change.

This is my current set-up.
If there's more than one, only one gets cleaned.
If either machine has less than two cans they sometimes get through solo.

Except when 2 smelly one's enter within like 3-4 seconds of each other, the machine have like a 5 secs cooldown between sprays.

Exactly.

If there was collision on the customers it'd help but sometimes they're directly on top of each other and only one gets sprayed.

The big machines don't make a difference only one gets cleaned.

I agree, I think the machine should change from spraying a person who walks by, to just keeping the whole room fresh no matter who walks or where they walk. That way you get the joke at the start, but once you make enough money to buy the machine, its no longer a concern.

This stops being an issue when you get the jumbo autoblow.

I love this community.

I like the mechanic. it brings some levity and something for me to watch for out the window. sometimes I stalk them and run out the store spraying stinkers who arnt even entering.
I am doing my part for the community at large. Just your friendly Game Store Owner.
Before anyone spergs out. I in my youth ran a TCG / Mini store on the weekends.
Stinky people and these hobbies go hand in hand. It even taught me at a young age stinky-ness is not gender exclusive much to my pubescent horror.

If I were running a real store I'd just kick people out for smelling bad with a big sign on the door saying "No B.O. or strong perfumes allowed"

If you were running a real store, you'd go bankrupt soon.

hmmm the last update completely fixed the "smelly sneakers" issue for me.

Only 1 spray needed per customer, 2 machines by the door catches all (or I haven't run into a 3 sticky "bum" rush he he he)

Now I did switch to the level 2 one, which holds 4 cans... So not sure if the fix was only for Tier 2 and 3? Didn't seem like it from the notes.

Another one of these threads?^^

Well i copy myself then: Stinkzombies are not really a problem. All u need to do, is to place your shelves + sprayers in a good way.
Create a small passage way for the costumers with your shelves and put the sprayers in between the shelves(like a snake line passage way), so the sprayers can hit the stinkers a second time. You can handle them with 2-3 500$ Sprayers. The middle priced sprayer is just a small upgrade for the lazy players, but the big one is really powerfull. It has the spraying power of 2x 500$ sprayers, so placing it at the entrance kills 95% of the stinkers and the rest will be handled by 1-2 small/middle sprayers(if multiple stinkers enter the store).
I run right now 1 big + 2 middlesized(but could cut 1 middlesized sprayer). 2 Big sprayers should also garantee a zombiefree market.

This was before the latest sprayerupdate.
Right now, the 1xmiddle size sprayers oneshot the stinkers. So create a snake passageway with 2 middle sized sprayers and your troubles are gone.

And a little side note for you: this mechanic is a funny moneysink(with realism included^^). Games need moneysink mechanics, or players drown in currency and cry out loud, that they don't have anything to spend on.
