how do gathering employees work?

[StillBlazinTho]

I've hired one thats a pretty high level. set what I wanted him to gather. placed two chests down on the plot and marked them able to be input into and not sold from. even tried setting the filters for input for the items i wanted them to gather and store into those particular crates. but after several in game days nothing shows up in any chests, any ideas?

Hey StillBlazinTho!
Smoothing out the gathering employees is something we're still working on. The step you probably still need to do is to select which items they should gather. In their task priority menu in the employee table, you should see a drop-down under gathering where you can select from different plots you own and then click on the various items available to gather in these plots to turn their outline from red to green. The employee will focus on gathering all the items highlighted in green.

I hope this helps! Thanks for playing Saleblazers!

If you have trashcans up, check those. I only saw that they put bamboo in it, because the bamboo was too long and clipped through the outside of the trash can. Yes they have plenty of storage to place stuff in it, but the trash can was at the entrance and i think that was the shortest way for them. Where and how they place gatherable stuff is still a mystery to us. Lock the chest for them, do not lock it , does not matter. Came back to the store and every sale slot had a stone in it. They still had stuff to sell, but still they chose the stone. I had to scramble once they started to sell copper. Ran to every display and snatched it. We have a few chests and can not figure out which chest they used. (Most of our chests do not have the floor assigned for employees or customers. )
