Worker AI Overhaul

Worker AI Overhaul

Smarter workers that prioritise, carry more, and stop wasting trips

What Is It?

Your workers are supposed to keep the shop stocked - but out of the box they wander, pick shelves and boxes at random, and stand around idling between tasks. Worker AI Overhaul rebuilds how they think.

Workers now scan the whole shop, go after the emptiest shelves first, grab the best-matching box for the job, and walk to the nearest target instead of a random one. They can carry more, tidy up half-empty boxes, and you decide what they tackle first. The result is a shop that restocks faster and runs itself the way you'd actually want it to.

Restocking That Actually Thinks

The restocking brain has been rebuilt from scratch. Workers scan every shelf, prioritise the one running lowest on stock, then find the best-matching box from your warehouse or floor. If a shelf needs 50 items, the worker grabs the fullest available box for that product instead of a random one.

How the base game does it: it scans every box, then every shelf, pairs a random box with a random shelf, grabs the lowest quantity when there are duplicates, then walks all the way over there. No prioritisation at all.

Carry More Per Trip

• []Multi-box runs - paired with Endgame Overhaul's carry-capacity upgrades, workers collect boxes one at a time until their carry stack is full, then deliver them all in a single warehouse run.[/]

  []Visual stacking - boxes pile up on the worker as they go and are placed back in order (last on, first off).[/]

  []Works solo too - without Endgame Overhaul installed, workers carry one box at a time, just like normal.[/]

  Tidier Warehouse - Box Merging

  ---

  • []Combine partials - workers pick up a half-empty box, carry it to another partial box of the same product, and transfer items across one by one at normal restock speed.[/]

    []Auto-cleanup - the emptied box is trashed automatically, and the worker earns XP for every item moved.[/]

    []No waste - if the destination box fills up before the source is empty, the leftovers get restocked onto a shelf instead of being thrown away.[/]

    Faster Pricing & Card Restocking

    ---

    • []Nearest unpriced shelf - Set Price workers scan the whole shop and walk to the closest unpriced shelf instead of a random one.[/]

      []No double-ups - a claim system keeps two workers from racing to price the same shelf.[/]

      []No more idling - the vanilla one-second pause between pricing actions and between card placements is gone, so workers flow straight into the next item.[/]

      []Closest card slot first - card restocking fills the nearest empty space rather than a random one.[/]

      You're In Charge - The Priority Dashboard

      ---

      The restock screen now has a numbered priority panel so you control exactly what each worker focuses on first.

      • []Rank the tasks - assign each worker a 1, 2, 3 order for Restocking, Storing, and Merging. Left-click cycles forward, right-click cycles backward.[/]

        []Unlabelled shelves - flip the "Fill Unlabelled Shelves" toggle on or off per worker with a checkbox.[/]

        []Saved per worker - every worker's priorities are stored per save slot and persist across sessions.[/]

        No Wasted Trips

        ---

        When a warehouse lookup comes up empty, the worker immediately re-evaluates and picks up the next job - instead of trudging all the way back to their rest point and out again for nothing.
