Research lab doesn't work

[Goritude]

I have several pals at base with the required skill (handiwork 1) and enough resources.
Yet the workload remains at 0/50 000

Or should the required skill pal be in my party ? I guess not

I've noticed that pals don't like to assign themselves to the research lab. Not sure why. You can still do it manually either by throwing a pal at the station (may take a couple of tries, the "hit box" is janky) or by using the podium to assign a worker to the research lab. Either should work.

Podium ? What's that ? The control center can only order pals to work hard or cool

There's 3 options on the podium (monitoring stand) if you hit the different keys presented. 1) Increase or decrease all Pal's working speeds. 2) Assign or remove specific tasks from a Pals available work list, such as not wanting them to lumber or do handywork but still want them to transport. 3) Specifically assign Pals to a workstation. Works similar to grabbing a pal and throwing them at it, but without the hassle

Never had problems with the research so far. The pals prioritize their own work over the research tho. That means for example if you have someone with handiwork but also transport, they are always busy transporting.

You can avoid that by going to the monitor stand and block a specific task so they only have handiwork left. So as long as they dont need to craft something, they should either sleep, feed themselves or do the research and nothing else.

You can also use the research thing over multiple bases.

Also the deeper you get, the higher the work level needed for the research
