The warehouse and its shelves

The warehouse has a shelf type of its own.

Not everything in TCG Card Shop Simulator belongs on the shop floor: the game has a separate warehouse with a shelf type of its own and its own record of what is stored in it.

In play

The warehouse is its own place. The game keeps a shelf type built for it and lets an object be marked as belonging there, which is why some things cannot simply be carried out onto the shop floor.

Its shelves are counted separately. The shop keeps a warehouse shelf list apart from the shop shelves, so the two sets are tracked and saved as different groups.

Each stored shelf is recorded. A warehouse shelf is saved with its position, its rotation and what its compartments hold, which is why rearranging the back room is remembered.

Stock can be boxed as well as shelved. The game keeps a boxed state for stored things together with the position of the box itself, so goods can live in the warehouse without ever being unpacked.

Placement rules differ between the two rooms. A shelf carries markers for whether it may stand in the shop, in the warehouse, or in either, which is why the same object is not equally at home in both.

The game also shows you where a shelf may legally be moved, so shifting one across the boundary is something it can refuse before you commit.

A shelf's record is more than a position. For the combined card shelves it holds the amount of each item type on the shelf, the rotation of a package that is still boxed and whether the shelf snaps vertically to a warehouse wall along with which wall it snapped to, which is why a shelf put back the same way comes back the same.

What this entry does not tell you: how much the warehouse holds, what it costs, or whether it can be expanded. We have not verified those numbers, so we do not print them.
