I left it running overnight. Wasn't sitting here playing all that time. I swear.
Thanks!
That was on the 14th. I think it showed the same earlier in that week. Payday the next day was $113,732 (not the $106k projected) and now it shows $53k projected for the rest of the month. Here's what it looks like on the 15th:
cheat set_attr 20 stam 100 // cheat set_attr (char id) (attr_key) (val -100 100)
I translate this again as before:
Explain it to me like I'm a five year old, seriously I don't understand anything about the unity console and I would like to understand.
I made an overview some time back for all the jobs and their requirements which also doubles as 'problem source' indicator.
well, if greedy chars under my system will allways push for bigger pay, or quit and try different job....well, i think that will reflect reality well.
Since you brought up realism: In reality getting any employee to agree to a lower pay, than originally agreed on, is the most extreme (and uncommon) case of a business decision and procedure. It usually only occurs when management has already failed some time before and the entire business is at risk of failing all-together soon, if not extreme measures are taken. In real life a new employee usually has a trial period which makes hiring and firing for example in the US a standard thing. In countries with better employee security laws, it is hard to fire them at all after probational period - the exact opposite is reflected currently in the game because you are forced to keep an employee at least 30 days before you can fire them. The game is about you managing your business in a given set of rules. Constantly changing the rules (mechanics) would mean there has never been a concept to begin with, as mechanics tend to intertwine with each other (system in game design language).
well, what is better in your opinion ? to negotiate with employees about lowering thier wage or go bankrupt ? as others clubs in your game do, and it can happen to you too.
I would argue in the limits set by the rules of course. So i would fire those who seemingly are too expensive and hire others for lower wages. And yes - I would assume that the new workers wont be as good as the ones I am going to fire. This is a typical example of cause and symptom. You are not fixing the cause, but look for a way out to get rid of a symptom. The cause is bad planning or too quickly expanding and not being able to keep up with your income.
I`ve also seen in the help section of the game that cooks and bartenders fall under the crafting category of jobs, but i can`t find the "crafting" opinion in the job category selection when i influence their opinions. The closest thing is "food prep work" opinion, is it mislabeled? I ask because so far i did not use this opinion for bartenders, thinking it`s only for cooks, bartenders and waiters falling under the service category...
This has to be answered by Fluke actually. I made the same assumptions as you did but since cooking is effectively the only job that actually requires 'cooking' as a skill I believe we are right with our assumption. Since it doesnt apply as a skill to bartenders I am almost certain that you can ignore it for them, at least in terms of how effective they are performing.
Yeah, i`ve thought about that too, as long as the customers don`t want just a bottle of beer
No. To be honest, this is not really feasible as the data is not kept in a way to facilitate doing this. I've said a few times that I'm not interested in building an optimization game. I'm sorry if this is the game you want to play and I do enjoy playing those games, I just don't enjoy managing and displaying all the data required to properly develop such a game. The cash flow value from the main screen will give you the most information regarding whether or not changes had a positive effect or not. But in general there are too many variables to be able to tell for sure.
Getting the sister to quit may not have a solution if her personality is not right. There's no secret steps to make it happen. As I mentioned yesterday, this story line still needs to be finished properly.I thought so the first time, and the second time, and now I'm really tired of how much work it takes to get little sister to quit her stripper job. What a PITA she is. I've spent two months hammering on her stamina every shift. I'm changing her opinion about entertainment work and steering her toward working in my pool. Still, she's satisfied with her job.
There may be a bug that introduced itself here in the late game. Traveling dancers and fellow actors in the porn films all show as "a stranger", and never get names.
I'm thinking this save might be borked. I've started over at least 15 times now. What's one more?
Out of curiosity how far along are you in the game? Once you hire your first entertainers and you have an entrance money should not be an issue. I think the timeframe for when you may want to try to get someone to accept a lower salary is such a short time that's not worth doing it. And most characters won't accept it. Basically one would have to be very bad at their job to take it in which case you might as well fire them.
So you have sponsored multiple commissioners and they are not voting the way you tell them to? Are you actually telling them I want to vote this way and they don't? That'd be a big bug if that's what's happening which I haven't seen. They can't read minds and the usual you should vote this way is not the same as demanding it.
In general there should be no trouble finding candidates for those two roles. Just approach any unemployed person on the street and ask them to interview. Most of them should take it. As long as you are not running a huge debt and they like you.
Yes, "crafting" is the internal code. It shows up in the display as "Food Prep Work". I'll see if I can make the help more consistent.
Waiters do bring drinks to those in the seating area and VIP room. So you do need to hire those to make money selling drinks and food in those areas. In general I would try to even them out, hiring the bartenders first. I.e. b, w, b, w, etc.Yeah, i`ve thought about that too, as long as the customers don`t want just a bottle of beer
Oh, and i have another question, are the waiters only bringing food from the kitchen, or do they also bring drinks from the bar? What i actually want to know is if i should have more waiters than barmans.
And non related, a weird observation: it seems for me the laws get proposed, not accepted, only whenever i fail an event, like a failure to influence someone`s opinion, or canceling a training session, or canceling a date, anything that disturbs my timeline and i usually want to load an earlier save...
And because you mentioned a "suggestion guy" earlier, i have a few suggestions, dunno how complicated they could be to implement:
1. a button in a "settings" section somewhere in the main menu to disable/overpass the confirmation when loading a game when already playing... for a save scummer like me it`s extremely annoying to constantly press that confirmation button. "Yes i know i haven`t saved the game, yes i want to load a game, yes i know what i`m doing"...
2. it would be EXTREMELY helpful if some sign or icon or something would appear on the buttons on the main map (and maybe even in the clubs) when there is a new unknown NPC in that location. Something like that is already implemented with the button of the location changing color when it`s closed. Having to lose a time segment just to move from location to location is very expensive, and having to save/load just to check all the locations for new npc`s without losing ingame time is very expensive in RL time... And related to this subject, a question: what is the frequency for new npc`s to appear? Is it a fixed day of the week or month?
3. more criterias for sorting the contact list, like their home area, and their diplomas, or maybe even abilities/skills, that would be awesome.
