-Made the town and building public
-Door open and unlocked
-I put a 5 stack of every trade good on it
-Put shops outside of my bases for easy access
-Can't assign a worker to the shop counter anymore with a "haul to shop counter" job so I assume they are supposed to function unattended
I thought it might be because I was running on experimental for a while or might have messed something up by playing with the forgotten construction set. So I did a complete uninstall/reinstall to the latest stable branch without mods and tested it again. Same result.
It makes me very happy to own a shop in the cozy town of Squin.
It makes me very sad that nobody buys anything from my shop counter and having this building is pointless. Not only that, having NPCs enter my "Public" towns at all is pointless. I feel that without a working shop counter the RTS experience in this game is significantly diminished.
Additional thoughts and suggestions about wandering NPCs interacting with player shops/towns can be found in my post in Gameplay at viewtopic.php?f=10&t=14180
Another thing that doesn't quite work - NPCs stealing from your shop counter. I had a raid of Black Dragon Ninjas enter a different shop and huddle around my counter with a "Stealing Food" goal. They got stuck in there, turned hostile, and wouldn't move until I attacked them one by one. No food ever taken. (Edit: I'm assuming this happened because I have "Bandits Loot The Player" unchecked in game settings. So they were not able to steal food and got stuck there because of that.)
