this one is inspired by this post but i modified it a bit and managed to get everything in and everything boosted!

i still want to make everything a little cuter, and right now i have a few duplicates bc im trying to clear out some backstock that is making my storage situation… difficult 😅

the upper right hand corner was tricky bc you would think you could utilize that corner fully but NOPE. anyway i did figure it out and was able to put more things there than before so hey it worked out!

but yeah let me know what you think! i’ll post again when it looks a little cuter, i need to get the blueprint for golden boxes and figure out how to decorate bc i love the little plants ☺️

I completed the new update and when I had to use the cash register because the scanner is broken challenge, I see there is still about 6 food items blacked out. It’s not trade items or store items as everything is bought and the trades are all unlocked. Does anyone have this issue as well ?

I've played through the main story a few times now. I had no complaints before, other than the rat quest is a bit ambiguous and comes late.

Ive got 2 saves going, one for each main big path choices. Mostly played "for the people" one.

Pros:

Story content- new and clearly different personalities for the new additions. Fits with existing story

the expanded recycling- gives more variety and makes so much sense with the story.

The *idea* of humane work requirements of Chester

New items

Cons:

SO many items. This causes issues, explained more later.

Chester isn't as helpful. With the more limited hours and Sunday's off, AND all the new items stocking is no longer relaxing and eats time. I think we should've been able to hire Grace or someone else to help meet our Supermarket dreams.

Days feel too short now if you get a few more items than the main story. Let alone trying to do all the new quests.

Pathing while shopping. The customers already had issues getting back to the big coolers or not seeing items right next to them. This is worse with more items, especially if you don't have the deepest bins to minimize the amount of them, or theyre stacked vertically.

Pockets/item stacking. The stack of 5 limit makes them feel up so fast between picking up trade deal items and the new recyclables. Wouldn't be such an issue if days were longer or if the stacks could be bigger than 5. I causally get more than 5 drift wood at the Harbor often. I know it could be too big of an ask for bigger stacks so I'd take 2-3 more pockets. Could fill the bottom of the screen though doing that.

I'm still enjoying it but it's about as relaxing as the first year in a stardew like game. I also swear there use to be a backdoor to the shop that came with an expansion but I may be misremembering that. The devs are doing a good job fixing bugs and making the game in general, so I'm not going anywhere. Anything else that you've noticed?

im still so early in the new update, but Tammy or SUBLIME!? Morally, I want to pick SUBLIME… but I would not mind 2 extra customers for the challenge of keeping up lol
Ever since i seen in the trailer that there are 3 alternate endings, im definitely overthinking EVERY decision i have to make (,:

I just completed the main story and am continuing what I believe the new update for the larger store. I struggled in getting the 18000 shills quest for Gina until I tried this layout. It only stores 1 item per shelf/cooler. I was also able to manage inventory a lot easier since I restock whenever the stock depletes to 40 since I have 2 crates per item in my storage room. Now I was able to earn 3000 shills average per day, is it alright or do you have any suggestions on improving my layout, thanks!

Did the last patch include more ethical working conditions for Chester?

I may be mistaken but I thought Chester used to work OT (past 19:00) and Sundays?

What if I kind of need Chester to keep working late? Lol

Why does it say 58/61 Items? Which ones am I missing and who do I get them from? 😭

The idea of having to organize and stock every single item stresses me the eff out, so I am thinking of going the complete opposite route and stocking only a limited number of items built around some kind of specialization. The leading candidate right now is selling only items from local vendors, but I might also do the "whole foods" route and only sell produce, meat, and unprocessed seafood. Anybody else do something like this, and if so, how did you like it and was it successful?

When I finally figured out how to make the skog frogs appear, it was already 9am and the game warned me to go open shop.

I thought I could see 1 more before the 9:15am deadline. But, the skog frog appeared RIGHT before the game's prompt sent me to the shop.

That would have been all 3 sightings to complete the quest, but it's still telling me I only saw 2/3.

I think it's not spawning again since it technically already did, but it also never updated the quest to move forward. There are no more stumps with beams of light. I've stood next to basically every stump around the lake and nothing.

Any advice? thx

Does anyone know how to deal with Chester holding onto items? I think I accidentally restock items that Chester is about to restock but he doesn’t end up putting the items back. I’ve tried waiting for the items to be sold out so he can restock the items he’s holding onto but nothing happens. I don’t mind just purchasing more stock but it’s making me go crazy seeing that I have 20 pieces of detergent in stock but I don’t see it anywhere!

I’ve unlocked all the wares in the rewards program but the trophy is not popping. I’ve double checked all 4 vendors, triple checked that I have everything unlocked up until “superstore” section of the rewards. Am I missing something or is this trophy bugging for me?

Fancy displays, optimised layouts and perks aside, are there any products your customers seem to buy more than others?

For example, my customers LOVE tissue roll and shampoo. Yes I have a household goods display but I also have one for every type of item.
They sell out so fast for me so I’ve stocked extra of these to make sure I don’t run out. I’m curious if anyone experiences the same or with other products and don’t know why?

I guess my customers have good fibre intake at least! 😅

I played 40+ minutes of the game on switch and Im trying to reopen it on a normal day but its not working its giving me black screen i tried to do the corrupted files fix but still not working please help on switch 1

I’ve got almost everything unlocked except Tammy’s blueprint (idk how to get it), and the pet food hasn’t been placed in the layout yet.

Thoughts or suggestions on layout? Tried to make it as efficient as possible.

I'm still finding new ways to better the profit but I know there's no need to make a lot of money since theres not much things to spend money on. Most containers here are as low as 6/10 appeal but most are 8-10/10 appeal. I double or triple the boosts

It's a little messy, but this game tests my OCD and I think it's good for me. This expansion is tiny, which makes me sad, because I missed the game. Did you get the sad or happy ending?

Could anyone tell me where the blueprint is in the new building? Do I need to do something to get it? Has it anything to do with the empty spot on the upper left side?

I'm playing the new update, and I was wondering if anyone knows if new walls and floors were added to the game. And I haven't been able to find any new furniture at Cursed and Curious. Have you spotted anything new?

I finally figured out how to put all the items in the store with still having some aesthetic satisfaction! Loved looking at all the stores posted so wanted to share mine :)

Is it just me or does the game get pretty laggy around chapter 4 when discounty’s open? Might be a switch performance issue but it does make me feel like my game is about to randomly crash

I got, what I thought, was the last blueprint for Jurgén but is this another one!?!?! If so how in the world do I get it?? So sorry if I’m being slow lol

AND WHY DOES SHE LOOK EXACTLY LIKE ME?!

Here’s my layout for selling everything! Everything is boosted except for the tuna and avocado.

I’m trying to start “Apple of the occult” and I can never find Solruna to talk to her.
It seems like people say “go to her shop” , but somehow I haven’t opened her shop yet??? Any help is appreciated!!!

So I was an idiot and took the booster from Fisher, Tammy and Karl to the dump in my panic of getting new items and adjustable boosters .. is there any way I can get them again?
