Sick and tired of No Immediate Work in the Vicinity error

[PitterPatter]

This needs to be fixed I'm so sick and tired of this not being able to assign a pal to something. I've tried everything putting pal back into pal box, destroying station rebuilding station. This has been going on since the game released you figured the Devs would of fixed this by now? Right now trying to put 2 Orserks on power it just keeps walking off and getting the No Immediate Work in the Vicinity error. I it will hold 3. Sick of this crap.

You can assign them to the generator using the monitoring stand. There you can also choose which tasks Orserk will do, that said they should be doing it in their own, they don't need to be assigned.

And if they aren't doing either it's 100% a pathing issue; The building you placed is inaccessible to the pal.

Pro Tip: The food-box has cat ears and indicates where the 'front' of the workstation is. All workstations share the 'current rotation value' so Ensure this 'front' has a wide, clear space. Cramped locations on a single or sometimes 2x2 foundations can cause pathing issues even though your eyes say "S'all good in the hood" so do what's gotta be done. Open your space more.

If everything is working your pal should access the station 99% of the time barring 'rest' periods and the rare instantly fixed glitch. Following the above and my other methods, I rarely have issues and they're resolved almost immediately.

If you use a monitoring stand to set a fixed assignment and the facility doesn't show up in the list, it means there's no valid path from the palbox to that facility. (That list is basically the same one the pals use when deciding what random chore to do)
