The extra slots are spaces for guests to wait in (if you don't have a room available right away).
It might be changed to accepting multiple guests at once during the check in phase, this was discussed on patreon before, but I haven't decided yet. I will probably add it to the next gameplay poll.
Thanks for the feedback!
I'm not sure what you mean, I have checked this before and have not been able to find this bug.
So without more information (or a savegame in which this occurs) it's very hard to fix if I can't reproduce it.
Are you sure you understand the way the energy works correctly?
If you move a staff member from their slot, you see the actual energy.
If you assign her to a slot or to rest, you see the increase/decrease in energy that will give.
So if she shows 0 energy on the housekeeping slot, she will have 25 energy.
Move her to the rest area and you will see it go up to 75.
After sleeping for the night, the energy goes up to 50.
If still think this is bugged, please let me know.
When you have a worker that is on Day 2 with Energy 0 working? I have said it on 1.2 as bug and when you don´t found it play your game yourself.
You need your mom to find a new guest, you need her in the kitchen and she cleans. These are all main works in the beginning !!! It is a little bit better when you unlock all other staff members (in 1.2).
Aso in 1.2. it is you can open a room and maybe you haven´t played the repair stuff member free or you have not the money and you can´t repair the room. In 1.2 the room was near 0 as I get her that I can repair the room.
The problem is you must load a lot of time because you can´t satisfy the guest wish that (you have no money you can´t buy the room or you have not the stuff member for it) in 1.2. Now with this it is not playable without cheating normal because your Mom does the most work and Energy 0 means 0.
At Day 3 you can say I can close the hotel because after the 1. guest I taken the nun as 2. guest and because you can´t do the cleaning you can´t fullfill the wish from the guest. The closing from the kitchen means that you can make insolvency.
Nun guest
Sure I can say f*** about it and then?
Day 4
Mom - cleaning
Mom kitchen - or guest no matter again cleaning
Mom - lobby (for a new guest)
And so on where is the free time for your working mom???
So your moms energy is all time when you have not the other staff members near 0 or 0 or she needs a better recovery from energy in the night.
Or you as manager can do aso work in the hotel maybe all works as a fire worker when you have problems with your workers (german saying).
You have a problem with the working time, repair time and pollution time. Play your game without cheating from the begining take the 1. guest he offer to you all time and say me if you have problems to play it or not.
I played in my life a lot of economy games and for me it is a more interesting game with it. The problem is with this now you have more problems as in 1.2 I say and in 1.2 was it not all time easy to have good values (%) in your hotel and gave the workers the free time for recovering.
You have her all my saves for this version and when you really tell me I can change the working schedule when you lead a hotel then say me the point.
