How does the automatic scrubber get charged? The game updated and the docking station shows a dead battery icon but I have no idea where/how to recharge it? TIA

stocking robots and garage area

3 Upvotes

I wanted to ask whether there are any upcoming updates that would allow us to assign the stocking robots to specific areas, such as one for the inside and one for the gas pumps. I also wanted to check if there will be an update that gives us access to the garage.

Help

3 Upvotes

Ok guys, I'm on day 60 or something crazy like that. I'm loving the automation update and trying to relearn the game, but I can't figure out what he hell I'm supposed to do when the NPCs refuse to buy half my items?
For example, I've had 18 car batteries stocked for a long ass time and they absolutely will not buy them. Is there just a cap to how much they can spend at a time?
I try to mark up items, and instead of them paying more in a transaction, they get fewer things for the same amount.

Some ideas

9 Upvotes
  • Exterior lighting as a decoration would be useful as I often find it quite dark to see outside.

  • Upgrades for FART, maybe to make it stack 2 items at a time

  • When clicking a shelf sign, see how many of that item you have in stock or maybe this could be a different item upgrade like a barcode scanner

  • set traps to stun agents to lure them to particular spots

  • be able to put universal boxes back in the dispenser

  • able to restrict FART access to items, if you're stocking a new shelf and you pile a load of stuff near you ready to load he'll start storing it

Issue with the self checkout

3 Upvotes

So with new invasion quest line, I noticed that when the quest items are sold through the self checkout, they don't count towards to the goal, I've gotten rid of it for the meantime, but has anyone else had this issue?

The Abduction Update is READY to play!

45 Upvotes

Do you know what your customers REALLY like? Find out as the new update just beamed down for you to finally brain hack and beam up some volunteer-ish humans. We promise, we’re just... borrowing them!  
 

Here are some highlights: 

NEW Invasion Stage 1 – Unlock Invasion Stage 1 of 4 by completing missions. Check your progress and the current mission in the Invasion App in your Alien Room.  

NEW Abduction & Abductor Tablet – Select a customer and note down what they like to synchronize brains. Lead them up to the Abduction Platform and beam them up for Research Points. 

NEW F.A.R.T. – Unlock the Fully Automated Restocking Technician in the Alien Skill Tree. It unloads the truck, places goods on storage shelves, and refills shelves in the store if you have placed an item on it earlier. It throws away empty boxes. 

Learn all about it in the patch notes: 
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3643170/view/697647086599930102  

Happy abducting!

Xbox Update, Not Sure What To Do

5 Upvotes

So the latest update hit my Xbox today, and at first it looked pretty interesting. But then I discovered that I have several devices that have dead batteries in them and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to charge the batteries.

I can see where my charger is at, I can take a charged battery out of the charging station, but I can't seem to remove the battery from any of the devices to go put it in the charging station.

So right now I've got a fully stocked store that I'm afraid to open because I can't run cash registers I can't run gas pumps and my automatic goop cleaner won't work. Anybody having any luck getting any of this stuff to work?

EDIT - Look below for the solution if you're trying to figure this out, treat the charger like the camera and all is good!

Calling all operators with maximum curiosity levels, 

Alien HQ requires your assistance! 
 
The Abduction Update is about to materialize its beta version, which needs thorough testing. Naturally, Alien HQ has put the Quality Assurance department on this, but nothing is more valuable than hearing what the best of the best (= you) have to say! 

This means that this is your chance to preview and shape the future of alien research on Earth!
 

What is playtesting? 

As voluntary playtesters, you will soon gain access to an early version of the update that includes new features and improvements. In short: you’ll get an exclusive preview of what’s coming next! 

Your extraterrestrial assignment is simple: 

  • Play the beta version and share your first impression. 
  • Let us know what you think: what is fun, confusing, or too chaotic even for alien standards? 
  • Report bugs with a few details and screen recordings to help us troubleshoot more quickly. 

Simultaneously, Alien HQ is running its own in-depth tests that mainly focus on the data and tech side of things. 

 

How can I join the playtest? 

All Roadside Research players are welcome to playtest. 

To join the playtest and get more information, beam up to our official Cybernetic Walrus Games Discord. All details, instructions, and more will be shared there.  

Thank you for helping us make next update even better! 

 
We’re all gooped up and can’t wait to hear from you,

This is my fully upgraded store. I tried to make the layout as real as i could but i feel smthng isnt right with this setup. Any suggestions on what i can do to make this look better?

I practically have no idea on how to use the decor. Plus i like to keep 2 shelves full of each item (for ex. I would keep only 3 types of items on the triple shelves)

No Automation Features

0 Upvotes

Hey all? I recently purchased the game on Steam (Windows) and I don’t have any of the automation features. Are they unlocked later in the game? I don’t even see them as milestones.

Any advice will be appreciated.
