Buying a crate without filling the back room

How to buy and open crates in Supermarket Simulator without turning the storage room into a wall of unopened stock.

Applies to

1.6.0 (223), read from the copy of the game this site was built from (see the sources page)

Before you start

• Room to put a crate down
• Money for the crate as well as for ordinary stock
• Shelves that will take what comes out

Steps

1. Decide where the crate will be opened before you buy it.
   a crate is an object of its own rather than a shelf
2. Buy it as its own purchase rather than assuming it arrives with an order.
   the game has a sale item for a crate
3. Open it in the shop rather than leaving it sealed in the back.
   a crate has an interaction for dealing with it in the world
4. Expect the contents to be laid out rather than all in one place.
   the game keeps a numbered grid for a crate
5. Check the shop when you are in a shared game, since the crate is shared.
   the crate interaction is carried on the network

Common mistakes

• Buying crates faster than you can open them.
• Opening one with nowhere to put the contents.
• Assuming a crate is a shelf and leaving it sealed.
