Machines that work on their own

The game ships an automatic pack opener.

Some of the work in TCG Card Shop Simulator can be handed to machines: the game ships an automatic pack opener and an automatic cleanser, and keeps each one state while it runs.

In play

Not every job has to be yours. The game ships machines that run by themselves, an automatic pack opener and an automatic cleanser among them, so part of the routine can be left going while you are elsewhere.

The opener deals with packs for you. It keeps its own record of whether it is working and of how many packs it has opened, which is why you can walk away from a pile of them.

It also keeps what came out. The machine stores the kinds of item and the cards it has produced, so what it opens is collected rather than scattered across the shop.

The cleanser takes the other half of the work. Cleaning has a machine of its own, which is why a shop can stay presentable while you are standing at the counter.

Both are objects in the shop. They are fitted and registered like other equipment, so a machine takes up space and can be moved rather than being a switch in a menu.

They sit alongside the restock deliveries. Because the shop also has its own restocker, these machines are one layer of automation among several rather than a single upgrade that replaces the rest.

Three of the pictures beside this entry are the game's own: the on and off icons it draws for a machine that can be switched, and the cleanser it ships.

What this entry does not tell you: what either machine costs, how fast it works, or whether it is worth having. We have not verified those numbers, so we do not print them.
