Supermarket Simulator Part 27 - Graphical Update and Online Orders (1.0 Release)

Summary

Angry Mongo returns to Supermarket Simulator after several updates, including the 1.0 release. The update fixes issues with furniture disappearing in older save files and improves gamepad navigation. The store also gets refreshed visuals, including updated item and shelf assets and sale tags.

Online Orders

The main new feature is fulfilling online orders:

1. Hold Tab to open the tool wheel and select a paper bag.
2. Pick the requested products from the shelves and place them in the bag.
3. Close the bag and attach its label.
4. Open the map, select the customer, and drive there to deliver the order.

Mongo completes multiple orders but finds the process awkward, especially when navigating the map and driving. Deliveries appear to have a time limit, and he suggests the game should let players hire staff to handle them.

Store Management and Results

Mongo hires additional customer-service staff, cleans the store, and restocks shelves. He sets discounts of roughly 10% on surplus items in the hope of increasing sales. However, the store runs out of several products, particularly toilet paper and paper towels.

The day ends with 147 satisfied customers and 12 products unavailable. Revenue is about $18,000, but the store finishes at a loss after Mongo buys more stock.

Mongo feels the game has become repetitive and would prefer to focus more on purchasing, store design, and managing displays than on manually handling routine tasks. He praises the developers’ continued updates and says the game was worth its price. He also notes that multiplayer and console versions are planned or forthcoming.
