Hauling - How?

[NV607]

Hey guys, I've tried to do this a dozen times and haven't gotten it figured out.

Hauling.... I have a stockpile zone set up. I can travel freely between them. I have free space in my inventory. Guy is set to work on schedule. Set him to autotask.... and he looks at them and wonders where the lazy guy is who should be moving them.

Any tips?

Does he do other auto task stuff, just not hauling?

If they are travelling between areas with different pressures (doesn't have to be vacuum -> pressurized, can just be where there's a variance). Do they have 'Open Airlock' permissions set to on? You can manually move them between the areas fine, but they won't do it on auto.

Also, just because you don't specifically mention it, you are painting the stuff you want hauled with the Haul order?

The current build is giving me a lot of pathing issues. If my guys can't figure out how to path to the hauling destination zone, it doesn't work. I have location in my ship where I can't tell my people to leave through the airlock, I just get the red feet feedback.

Hauling requires marking items for hauling and to have zones setup with large enough free space to setup, it seems to work when I don't have pathing problems. (Would be nice to have a way to mark things for hauling and uninstalling)

Zone is set to hauling, Crew is set off restore parts with priority 1 on hauling in a space suit and you turn on autotask in front of the object with open airlock and disembark turned on, right? I've noticed hauling can break the task-list which makes crew stuck unable to proceed because they go through all tasks in order and never seem to get past a certain one. Short term fix so far has been to save and then load resetting the task list and seeing if it works then.

Mine will sometimes go to the items I marked for hauling, pick it up and move it like 2 spaces and drop it. It helps to reload the saved game

I realize this is somewhat of an old thread but for those who find their way here due to hauling issues, specifically the issue of "Mine will sometimes go to the items I marked for hauling, pick it up and move it like 2 spaces and drop it. It helps to reload the saved game"

Make sure you allow access to airlocks in the Roster page, doing this solved the issue for me

[ttvCountHowl]

they have access to airlocks. Hauling is set to priority 1. Zones are created and set to haul. Hauling marked with the 'painter'. They are scheduled to work the current shift.

They still don't haul

*sometimes* saving/loading will fix some NPCs of my crew. Some NPCs refuse to help at all.

(it would be nice to be able to load from the escape menu instead of needing to go to the main screen, as that would at least speed up the current fix).
