The janitor and what he cleans

The janitor runs through a manager and a state machine of his own.

Cleaning in Supermarket Simulator can be handed to a janitor who works through a set of named tasks: the game gives him eight states of his own, from tidying to emptying bins.

In play

The janitor is a staff member with a job list. The game runs him through a manager and a state machine of his own, which is why he works through tasks rather than wandering.

He has named tasks. The game keeps separate states for cleaning dirt, cleaning dust and clearing rubbish, so a janitor deals with the kind of mess he has found rather than one generic action.

He moves and waits. Moving to a target, waiting and being idle are states as well, which is why he can be seen crossing the shop or standing between jobs.

Bags and bins are their own jobs. There are states for the rubbish bag and for the bin, which is why what he is carrying tells you which part of the round he is on.

He carries something. The game has a janitor item and an animation controller for him, so his work is an animation rather than a teleport.

He works in a shared shop too. The janitor is carried on the network, which is why everyone sees him doing the same job.

What this entry does not tell you: how fast he works, what he costs, or how long each task takes. We have not verified those numbers, so we do not print them.
