Tidal Wave DLC - Employee & Boat Refuel bug

[Jane_Denton]

If I assign employee to refuel boats he won't move from house.
If I go to the house and speak to him directly I can 50/50 get him to move and go refuel boats. However (Day 2 example) after resting and the new work day beginning he's become stuck at the house again not moving. I have to speak to him directly changing primary tasks a few times to get him to move for that day. When I did finally get him to move the next day however he was moving down the boardwalk in the seated position drinking a beer. LOL

My Gas station is level 8 - the employee location is at house 8
However I had the employee task working the boat pumps issue with previous employees as well.

Hopefully there's enough detail there for the devs to help with understanding why the employees seem to be bugging at the houses when assigned to the boat pumps.

I have had this issue as well, although not necessarily with fueling boats. It has happened with fueling cars as well. It always seems to be the employee hired last with the issue for me. The worst case actually had me crashing every time I tried to get the employee to do something.

Yep I had that happen when I was dealing with employee in house #4... he was clipping through the boardwalk and getting stuck under the house. With a few restarts he showed up on the chair but when I had him assigned to cleaning I tried reassigning him to something else speaking to him directly and every time I did the game crashed.

So I went to the computer and unassigned him from everything.. I think I might have closed the station then reopened and assigned him to just fueling cars and haven't had an issue with that one since but I'd be afraid to switch him to anything else in case I encountered another bug with him.

Odd. I don't have any worker issues.

Mine was in house 4 as well (fourth hired) and what was happening was that when set to Fuel Boats he would fuel one boat then his Automatic Pay setting would glitch and he would refuse to work because he wasn't being paid (although the Automatic Pay box was still checked).

Unchecking-rechecking the box would get him working again but only for one boat, then it would glitch again.

Also, if I tried to fire him he would refuse to leave because he hadn't been paid, but paying him didn't work because his salary kept running during working hours (even after I fired him) so I always owed him something. Firing him during his Rest period wouldn't work either.

Setting another worker to Fuel Boats worked - so I suspect it's the specific employee that's the problem.

I had made a mistake up above about the 2nd employee bugging. It was at Gas Station lvl 8 but my employee number 7 was also bugging out. So it was house #4 and #7 that was bugging out. I think pretty much everyone is familiar with employee #4 getting trapped under the house and I read the devs did patch house #4 and I haven't had that happen since.

But I took a pic of FINALLY getting employee #7 to go to work on the boat refueling. As you can see he's still sitting down and drinking while moving down the boardwalk. So he bugs out again when the new work day starts and I have to mess with the job tasks until he starts moving.. some days he will only work a half day and I'll have to go to his house and tinker with his job tasks again to get him back to work. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3199902668

This certainly isn't game breaking I don't think. But strange that random visitors are getting trapped on the rocks heading to the surf shop. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3199902036

Told them about it on launch day and replied four days after... they ask for save files that they can recreate on their own. Lazy, if they played their game, they could easily as it runs, find this bug as well as the exit and entrance bug blocking vehicles.

This was all fixed days ago.

Update #4

Employees now correctly prioritize boat fueling tasks

Employees now should correctly start their shift when their primary task is to Fuel Boats

I think the devs were very fast at patching and fixing things. I tried to be as specific as possible with what was happening so it was easier to find the errors. Things I listed are all listed in the patches almost hours after I posted.

I think the devs are doing an awesome job!

Include my whole posting not just a word... if you are going to troll or comment pointlessly to start issues. The issues I posted are NOT fixed. NOTHING in my post is about employees. My post was about vehicles getting stuck exit and entrance and the boat to bring more gas being stuck out at sea. You kids need to learn to read and if your going to start on someone, perhaps check before posting.
