TCG Card Shop Simulator guide
Employee restocking and task settings
For single-card restocking, employees need a Card Storage Shelf and the Restock Card task. Shelf stock and machine refills use their own settings.
Restocking individual cards
Update 0.66 added Restock Card. Employees take cards from a Card Storage Shelf, place them for sale and set prices. The shelf can also disallow employee access when you want to use it as private storage. This describes individual cards, not every boxed product in the shop.
Primary tasks and price settings
Update 0.65 added secondary tasks, performed after the primary task is complete, along with Refill Scent and Refill Pack Machine. Update 0.66.5 added a card-pricing toggle to both Set Price and Restock Card. This lets the task settings distinguish restocking from whether card prices are changed.
Empty shelf slots
The 0.36 notes say restocking employees do not fill empty, unlabeled slots by default unless instructed to do so. Check this distinction separately from the Card Storage Shelf requirement. A historical shelf rule is not an explanation for every employee who stops working.
