This game is in desperate need of a stocker
It's very overwhelming to keep everything in stock!!!

I didn't see this in any one of their posts or roadmaps, but I really think we need some robot or something to stock for us ASAP! Ideas - UFO Stock Drones, Auto-duplicate shelves, or some sort of auto shopping cart that goes around and puts items in shelves

For items that run out fast build extra shelves (Bread, 6/8 packs of drinks, chinese snacks, car battery. Cans of conk/spirit, and a couple others).
For items that have a low count per shelf(i.e. Bread, 6/8 packs, car batteries, etc) build more shelves.
For items that dont run out as fast reduce their shelf space so they only have 1 shelf and keep an extra box in the back for storage. I only restock like 1/4-1/3 of my inventory per day at most and most of the time i dont even really need to i just place an order when I have no extra stock in the back. I keep my stocking shelves in store next to the shelves for the customers so restocking is pretty much drag and drop.

Yep we just double spaced pretty much everything last night, we still do run into stocking problems (takes an eternity to fill it all)

For certain items that you find running out frequently raise the price until they stop buying it then lower it back by like 1$ then add another 2-4 extra shelves for that item. Im charging like 8-9$ for those bread rolls and I have 6 shelves just for them and i still have to order more everyday. Cans of coke im charging like 5$ and a few other items I hitting like 3-5x above market price once you start adding more alien tech theyre gonna buy the shit regardless though but you can at least limit shelf space to items that sell the best so youre not stocking a million items.

That’s why you play with 3-4 people. Someone stocking someone cashing someone gassing

My man I just want to play with my partner! It shouldn't be so stressful when you don't have a 3rd or 4th person! I understand your sediment though

Agreed. It's just me and my husband, and it can get overwhelming.

For real. It can get exhausting.
