The 3 Golden Rules for Beginners in Megastore
If you are clocking in for your first shift in Megastore: Tidy Up Together, following these three core operational habits will cut your shift time in half and prevent misplaced item penalty deductions:
Toy Store: 100% 3-Star Walkthrough & Sorting Zones
The Toy Store introduces core spatial zoning, soft doll throwing mechanics, and precise outward box rotation. The floor contains 14 shelving units, 4 wire dump bins, and spinning carousel display stands.
🧺 Quadrant A: Plushies & Soft Dolls
Positioned left of the entrance. Soft plushies have zero impact damage. Use R to toss them into high wire dump-bins from up to 4 meters away to drastically speed up floor clearing.
🧩 Quadrant B: Building Blocks & Board Games
Center aisle. Board games require horizontal stacking with a maximum of 4 boxes per compartment. Exceeding 4 causes structural tilting and triggers a messy shelf deduction.
🚗 Quadrant C: Diecast Vehicles & Models
Right wall slanted glass display cases. Vehicles must face outward toward the customer walking aisle. Use Q and E keys for 15-degree fine rotation before snapping.
🎁 Quadrant D: Checkout Counter Carousel Toys
Blind bag capsules, candy spinners, and sticker packs belong exclusively to the spinning carousel stands adjacent to registers 01 and 02.
Supermarket: Cold Chain & Fragile Condiment Handling
The Supermarket introduces perishable defrost timers, glass jar shattering physics, and multi-aisle grocery carts. Dropping glass pasta sauce or olive oil creates liquid spills requiring mop intervention.
| Aisle / Zone | Target Temperature | Product Examples | Handling Rules |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aisle 01 (Fresh Produce) | Ambient (Cool Mist) | Apples, Bananas, Lettuce, Carrots | Stack in wooden tiered crates. Place heavier melons on bottom tier to avoid bruising. |
| Aisle 02 (Dairy & Deli) | Refrigerated (2°C - 4°C) | Milk cartons, Cheddar blocks, Yogurts | Door units must remain closed when not stocking to prevent defrost alarms. |
| Aisle 03 (Frozen Foods) | Deep Freeze (-18°C) | Frozen Pizzas, Ice Cream, Peas | 120-second thaw timer outside freezer. Must stock before condensation puddles form. |
| Aisle 04 (Condiments & Canned) | Ambient Standard | Glass Jam Jars, Canned Beans, Olive Oil | FRAGILE: Never throw! Crouch (Ctrl) to place low shelves safely. |
| Aisle 05 (Bakery & Breads) | Ambient Warm | Artisan Baguettes, Rolls, Cookies | Glass display cases require careful placement. Do not crush bread under heavy canned goods. |
Two-Story Megastore: Elevator Logistics & 4-Player Zoning
The flagship two-story Megastore features massive central escalators, freight cargo elevators, and over 13,000 loose inventory pieces spanning consumer electronics, furniture, books, and sporting goods.
🚚 Cargo Elevator Protocol (Anti-Phasing)
Never place loose individual items directly on the elevator platform floor! Physics synchronization between floors causes free-floating items to clip through the elevator shaft. Always pack items into Blue Staging Crates before triggering the elevator toggle.
👥 4-Player Role Specialization
Player 1 (Dock Master): Unboxes delivery pallets in the backroom storage bay.
Player 2 (Freight Runner): Operates the cargo elevator and ferries crates.
Player 3 (Floor 1 Stocker): Manages Books, Fresh Fish, and Groceries.
Player 4 (Floor 2 Stocker): Manages Electronics, Apparel, and Sporting Goods.

Multiplayer Co-op Networking & Desync Resolutions
Operational solutions for 4-player lobby disconnects, cart synchronization packet lag, and elevator crate clipping.
🔗 Steam P2P Lobby Disconnect Fix
If party members disconnect with "Error 1004: Socket Closed", open Steam Settings → In-Game → Steam Networking, and change "Share your IP address" to "Always" with friends. This bypasses relay server throttling during heavy ragdoll collisions.
🚦 Shopping Cart Ghosting & Sync Packet Lag
If a guest sees an empty cart while the host sees it filled, have the host pick up and drop the cart once. This sends an immediate forced entity sync packet through the Steamworks networking channel.
