Workers not doing job

[Jyggalad]

I feel like half the time I try to make my workers do their job they won't do it unless I manually tell them to do it, even then sometimes they don't do it even if it is in their job list and I have the required materials needed. They aren't doing other jobs, they're just standing there. Any idea what the deal is?

First guess is pathing or inventory issues. Try to fix pathing with Ctrl + Shift + F11. Ensure the characters have inventory room in their personal inventory and the machines/storage have space available.

Without more information, a short video or a save uploaded to look at those are easy/general guesses

I'm guessing it's a pathing issue as most of the time they just won't go inside the building. I've tried to Ctrl + Shift + F11 but nothing happens.

Edit: Actually I just figured it out. I've noticed if I give people less stuff to do (like 3-4 things instead of like 6-9) it tends to get better. Maybe they're just freaking out from priority or too much stuff? Idk.

If nothing happens, there were no issue it could detect. I also always try SHIFT + F12, then click on FIX STUFF, then exit.

Reloading the game might help

Really not sure. Now they're not using turrets for some reason. They'll walk up to the turrets. But they won't use the turrets. I'm gonna try looking at my mods and see if anyone is having similar issues.

Edit: Actually now they are... Uh... Dumb question but... Can people mount turrets if they are on passive?

[bunny de fluff]

No. Passive will stop them from using turrets.

Hehe the passive issue - unclick it to man turrets...found that out the hard way :P Unclick in the AI the ditch resources button if you do not want them to constantly run and dump out resources can happen even when they are ready to build stuff sometimes if its an extra item you have storage for, they will want to get rid of it :P
