Warehouse Technician: Check Marks & Exclamation Points

[sudon't]

On the pictures of the Warehouse Technicians, I have some check marks, an exclamation point, and a little “man” symbol, like you see on bathrooms, which I can place on different technicians. I’m guessing the exclamation point means that, that product is full since it’s on the one full product, and I guess the check marks just mean everything is OK. But what’s up with the little guy? You can move it from Technician to Technician. What does it do?

 

I have three owned businesses: Bunker, Coke, and Cargo. Somehow, I have four active Technicians. I’m guessing this is because I got some Documents and Copying cargo via a Business Battle, since I don’t own that business. What do you guys think? Does this have anything to do with the little man symbol?

[Mr Spanky]

The little man symbol is to tell you which technician is selected to do which product

 

Click any technician, the man icon moves to the one selected, and a corresponding icon on the products come on, to show what product he is working on

I see, thanks!

Any idea about why I have four technicians? When I click on the fourth guy, he’s not associated with any product. Did he get activated when I stole some Business Battle goods, even though I don’t own the business? I could’ve sworn it wouldn’t let you activate any more technicians than owned businesses when I set it up.

[Mr Spanky]

Not a clue, sorry

You can indeed hire techs that you don't have enough businesses for.

 

The exclamation means that guy is doing diddly squat, either he needs allocating or his product is full.

I have 5 technicians fully upgraded nightclub

 

3 mc businesses (fully upgraded )

 bunker and special cargo warehouse 

 

Out of which 2 of the technicians are assigned to sporting goods and special cargo 

The exclamation marks shows to other 3 technicians and says that I have to sell my coke, meth or cash creation in order to assign the ( since my coke meth cash are fully filled with stock )

My nightclub stock has only filled 186/360 

1: Do I have to sell those mc business seperately and continue with assigning the technicians 

 

2: mc business stocks, will it be transferred to nightclub storage

MC labs work independently. NC produces it's own goods, nothing gets transferred. If you are lazy doing that MC crap you can even keep labs empty (they just need to be set to active) and NC will keep filling it's stuff.

 

Regarding when to sell, you can do pretty much whatever. Though the most efficient way is to only have 5 best businesses assigned (cargo/bunker/coke/meth/money) (you may shut down docs/weed this way) and sell everything once coke or meth maxes out (also this way you will never get NC raided, as long as you have capacity maxed out and have security upgrade). Swapping technicians around is a bit of waste of time and those cheap businesses (weed/docs) will drag income rate down.
