my pals are upset at working conditions...

[Drakkimor]

i have built all that i can find to help them, they have the bath tub, there food bowl is full of berries.. i put different food in there to see but they never ate anything but berries.. any clue what is up?

[Drakkimor]

I put toast with jam in the bowl but they only ate the berries. I will look at the bed and see if some are not reaching the back ones though

They only eat the food furthest to the left.

Drug them. Stick a niddle. They will love working conditions. Can't complain when drugs kick in their brain.

i think the toast is working =)

Cleary a bug cause i never had any problems with this myself till today... So... Yeah obviously a bug since they are constantly like that might as well butcher them if theyre being really buggy and capture more repeat least till they fix the stupid bug

They should let the pals actually choose their food options, and make our nicely made meals all the worthwhile. Watch them get the buffs they want for once. LOL

They like to get stuck on nothing and then blame worker conditions

The butcher knife is your friend show them whose in charge and remind them they are replaceable

-never use berries if you can make bread, omelet or salad ( pals eat from left to right btw )
- have 1 hot spring per ~ 5 pals
- get the fluffy bed asap
- never use pals with negative passsives that affect their sanity ( workaholic best imo )
- make sure every possible path of your pals has atleast 1x2 tiles of space, never use 1x1 with a roof
- most pals need about 1/2 tiles of space around any workstation to not get stuck, (i.e. ranch, fridge, mining + logging site ect. )
-make sure pals have the shortest way from their workstation to hot springs, beds and food

bonus tip: for some reason some pals are way more likely to get stuck, even if you built perfectly. For example Azurobe and both Jormuntide variants. They are great workers but you might need to babysit them often....

thanks for the info =)

Cook the berries and make sure they aren't getting stuck on the side of the base now and then.

Regular berries give back no SAN

[kir-kanos]

Full of berries well there you go give them some real food that gives + to san.
They made it so can see what the food does before you cook it now.

turn em into food

San is what you want to keep up, and berries don't restore that. Cooked berries restore 1 each meal, eggs more, etc. Definitely cook up some better stuff for them. Also if you're on a server that's always on, box them before you leave. There is a bug where they go stationary if you're away from the base but their SAN keeps dropping.

Not sure how much this affects single player, though. I'd give the base a visit for awhile regardless so they can sleep a bit and eat on screen.

Alright, lets go. First of all path problems, if your base is too cramped they might get stuck oftem or even if it is not just by having a building depends of how it was built they will get stuck, starve and get sick.

Second is food, you can't just put berries they are not enough, you have to cook them, cooked berries are enough to maintain the base but if you wanna improve you can plant wheat and make flour so you can make bread with jam or plant only tomato and lettuce to make salad, cooked food gives more sanity than raw berries so it is not enough berries a simple bed and a bath, you have to cook.

Third is the feed bowl of the pals, the feed bowl has like 6 slots? and the pals will eat the food from left to right, the problem of this is once the food on the first slot ends it will free a slot and the pals will put the farm products in there like egg, milk, wheat, etc. and since they are raw it will not help to improve the sanity, also putting a bunch of food inside of it doesn't help since they will never eat food that is on the second slot forwards, only when the first one finishes but since it will be empty and something will be added by them they will never eat the rest of it and the food will rot. The solution is put only 1 food in the first slot and the rest fill with honey or cottoncandy since they will not perish and won't allow pals to fill them too.

Last one is the confort, make the next tier bed for them and the best bath at least 2 baths will be enough, I some times do 2 or 3. This will help recover the sanity alot and I never tested but there are decorations that are toys or something, it says it will helps pals to relax or something but I can't confirm and I kinda doubt it will work, if it works it might help even more the sanity thing. Since I never needed this I won't buy this tech unless I finish the game and has nothing else to do.

Doing this will solve your problem that is the problem of everyone, everybody has these same issues and it is annoying indeed, at least that is a way to work around until they work better on it since it is an Early Access game it has room to improve. =)
