New Job Role and feature suggestions

[Cadsives]

New Jobs

A janitor should be a job. What their use can be is repairing any broken damages across the park and also have the ability to empty litter bins.

A gardener should be a job. They could just be used to cut the grass (taking away the stress of having to assign handymen to it).

Feature Suggestions

Patrol areas should be made easier to set. Add the ability to allow us to type the amount of squares we want them to cover.

Handymen already can empty litter bins and a future update will include the ability for them to repair path objects like benches and lights.

 

You can just assign handymen with just the job of cutting grass.

How would that work...?

I think what he/she meant is instead of giving staffs a workarea in a fixed 4x4 click, we should have an editable range

It's been a while since this thread was started, but I just wanted to chime in and say that I agree with the suggestion of adding a janitor and a gardener to the game. It would make things so much easier and more realistic, don't you think?
Also, the idea of being able to type in the number of squares for patrol areas is genius! It would have saved me so much time back in the day when I used to play this game all the time.
By the way, for those of you who are interested, have you thought about Becoming an RN in 2 to 4 years time? It's a great career choice. I remember using Explore Medical Careers as a resource when I was considering a career change. It's definitely worth checking out!

Patrol areas are already flexible. For new staff, new sprites need to be created, or otherwise perhaps presets for handyman (maybe with different colours) where they have their roles assigned already. Fixing benches requires a new animation to be created for each angle, and the logic needs to be implemented. That will be a big task.
