This update brings one of the most requested mechanic: Shoplifting and Security! As always, it is subject to evolve based on your feedback and suggestions.
Patches Notes
0.8.0
- Added: New mechanic: Shoplifting and Security. Shoplifters are now rife at your mall! Build Security centers and hire guards to patrol around the mall and catch the thieves red-handed. Research the security projects to greatly increase your guards' effiency.
- Added: New zone: Security Center.
- Added: New job: Guard.
- Added: New research project: Security I. Unlocks the anti-theft detection system: place anti-theft detectors strategically to catch thieves all around your mall.
- Added: New research project: Security II. Unlocks self-balancing scooters for your security guards: some shoplifters are suprisingly fast! Equip your guards with scooters to give them an edge over thieves.
- Added: New object: Anti-Theft Detector.
- Fixed: a bug where Bars with rotated counters wouldn't attract customers.
0.8.1
- Added: New tool to assign anti-theft tags to product shelves.
- Added: Theft is now logged and accessible in the Stats menu. Guards also individually log the value of the stolen items they recovered.
- Changed: the ASSIGN menu now uses radio buttons instead of a combo box.
- Changed: Lowered the distance at which guards catch thieves red-handed (without detectors). Increased the distance at which guards respond to detector alarms.
- Changed: Guards will now directly go back to their patrol after satisfying a need instead of going to their security center first.
- Fixed: a bug that could cause employees to go home early, especially with staff needs enabled.
- Fixed: missing security skill tooltip.
Please note:
- You have to start a new game to enable shoplifting and set its severity (mild/serious/massive).
- For your guards to work properly, you have to create patrols (Assign>Patrols) AND pick a patrol for each guard (Manage>Security Center>Staff): select each guard in your staff and click on the patrol of your choice (it will turn green).
- Once you have researched Anti-theft detectors, you will have to setup shelves with Anti-theft tags (Assign>Anti-theft Tags).
