How to automate grog reliably?

[Xcorps]

I've got wheat production up and running reasonably well, I have plenty of water. I'm using the box storage inside one of the stormhouses in hub. Whenever the grog machine runs out of wheat, the maker just stands there. I don't have a problem with this setup in another town, but that town isn't really optimal because the store is slow with wheat.

Is it possible the containers are too far away, or something else? They are across the room by the door and the machine is near the back wall.

When you build something that requires access as you see green indicators instead of red before confirming for build, that's create pathways for your characters to access. Maybe you need to tear grog machine down to redo, change angles or little bit further away from the building's wall may help. Also there might be conflicts to job orders set into your characters, try adjust that too.

So I assumed the green arrows are approach nodes and make sure that they are green before I knew what they are.

I know it's not the job orders, because there are no orders except "operate grog machine". Unless there is somewhere other than the main screen for job orders I'm not aware of.

Thanks for the reply though. I will try tearing down and rebuilding the machine.

The pathfinding is painfully bad, sometimes if what they need to grab from is around a corner or has something else between them and it, they can't figure out how to path to it and just stand there doing nothing. Get used to tearing things down and rebuilding them over and over in slightly different locations trying to find the sweet spots that allow your characters to find a path to them.

Sometimes regenerating the nav-mesh can fix these kinds of issues, though not always.
