Placeable NPC Register / Staff Markers in Build Mode

Placeable NPC Stand Points:

When building or customizing lots—especially mixed-use spaces like an arcade turned into a laundromat or coffee shop—it would be really helpful to have a placeable marker in Build Mode that shows where an NPC should stand to operate a register or service area.

Register Staff Marker (Build Mode Tool):

I’d love a simple tool (for example, an “X” marker or staff icon) that can be placed near a register or counter. This marker would tell the game where an NPC employee should stand during business hours.

Supports Custom & Mixed-Use Builds:

When repurposing lots or combining multiple functions into one space, the game doesn’t always know where an employee should go. A manual marker would allow builders to clearly define service points for:

  • Coffee counters

  • Laundromats

  • Arcades

  • Shops

  • Custom businesses

Builder Control:

This would give players more control when creating custom businesses instead of relying on pre-set layouts. Builders could decide exactly where staff stand, improving both realism and functionality.

Optional Enhancements:

  • Ability to assign different markers for different roles (cashier, barista, attendant) and that NPC accepts payment

  • Visual preview showing where NPCs will spawn or stand during operation
