Keeping the shop window clear

How to keep the glass in a Supermarket Simulator shop presentable, given that windows, shards, dust and cleaning are all separate named pieces.

Applies to

1.6.0 (223) (see the sources page)

Before you start

• A shop with windows in it
• A cleaning tool
• Money for a replacement pane

Steps

1. Know which pane is which before anything breaks.
   four shop windows are named, a front left and right beside a left and a right one
2. Replace a broken pane rather than covering it.
   each window has a shard version named beside it
3. Clean the glass instead of replacing it when the problem is only dust.
   dust for glass is named with its own maps and a window is named as something that can be cleaned
4. Match a replacement to the glass the shop already uses.
   the glass is a material of its own with a colour sheet and a normal map
5. Expect more than one grade of breakage.
   shards come with an easy, a medium and a strong version beside the plain set
6. Keep the display cases glassed as well.
   a showcase material carries a fade, a metallic smoothness and a normal sheet

Common mistakes

• Replacing a whole window when only the dust needed clearing.
• Leaving a broken pane in place and losing the light it let in.
• Ordering a pane without checking what the shop's glass is.
• Forgetting that a display case is glassed too.
