Wow, art it out of this world, gorgeous. I’ve never thought the toothy jaw of a great white could be so cute. And music is very fitting for a shop. Really like your interpretation of the theme. There were some cases where H-AI appeared to make the right thing, but it wouldn’t ship? Could be a bug. And I didn’t really get what creating an inventory does, it didn’t seem to influence the orders at all. I think it could more interesting if you were allowed to ship “faulty” products, but there was some penalty for it, like a customer satisfaction score.

I had the same thing! I don't know if it's a bug, or if they're facing in the incorrect direction?

Oh man, we really should have explained that better, it seems ^^'

The "inventory" on the bottom of your screen shows the 7 sharks that you've created, all of those are "correct" orders, since you made them for the shop. Every order that you did not build in the builder is "faulty", (aka. the ones with the snake). All of those can be in queue and "produced" but since you technically don't have the snake part in the builder, they can not be sent. Sometimes H-AI builds them by accident, those you can repair. The snake was more of a way to mark orders as not fitting your catalog, if that makes sense!

Thank you for the detailed response and the kind feedback, it's super helpful to read :>

Oh I see, I tried it again after your explanation. Looks like the catalogue does influence the orders. So there’s actually two types of errors…

  1. Customer error: they request something with a snake, which can’t be in the catalogue, so it’s doomed if you accept it. (however, it randomly can be built by chance)
  2. H-AI error: builds something with a snake, shouldn’t ship, even if it matches an order. I’m considering this akin to ordering “none pizza with left beef from dominos”, like technically they can do it, but as a business decision, they probably shouldn’t send you that and call it “pizza”.
