Stock employee Issue
Anyone else dealing with the stocking employee just walking to the incorrect shelves and either just standing there with product or dancing in front of the shelf? How does one fix this issue? Aside form firing and rehiring

I haven't run into this issue yet,
Have you noticed them doing it to the same shelf? it may be a bug with the location of the shelf.

Are you stocking at the same time as them? I haven't done that enough because I'm working on my 4th checker finally. Then again, when I did fill up a shelf that a stocker was going towards, he turned around after getting to the shelf and returned the product.

Did you remove a tag from a shelf they were headed to? I removed a stock shelf tag and they had nowhere to put it, so they made a spot. not sure if they do that with shelves.

other than those questions to troubleshoot, I can only see fire and rehire to be the answer. but dont be too discouraged, My employees cost nothing daily still, the cost shows but nothing is deducted. The money you save daily is worth a fire and rehire to quick fix the issue.

The issue is you have to pick up packages, hold them in your hands and use your main interact key on the open part of the shelf a label will appear and you can click on that box with another to stack more into it you have to assign the shelf. Hopefully this helps :)

I only had 1 time where he just stood and did nothing, a restart of the game solved it

okay, got some gameplay in, I see what you meant. Ive tried picking up the shelf, that fixed em once, but not each time. I moved the items off the stock shelf and that also fixed them once. I didnt have to fire or hire ever, Time fixed the issue of them standing and staring at the wall.

I would assume either the stocker is confused because it keeps ordering more than 1 task at a time, but he also seemed to glitch in the stock room the most, and thats where I get the most lag.

Still didnt notice an incorrect shelf or dancing though, just staring.

I have lag in stockroom. We need a purchase assistant also... To place products in stockroom.

When you change an item in either storage or sales shelves, while they are walking with said item, they get messed up. That also goes for fully filling a shelve with new items, while they want to bring a box back.

For the lag, change your monitor refreshrate to the fps you get in game. When your monitor trys to refresh faster then the game, it lags.

Following this. I've experienced both issues listed here. I have 4 stockers, 1 of which does nothing and just stands outside, the other 3 will stock the shelves until they get stuck holding a box in front of the storage racks. Firing and rehiring fixes the 3 getting stuck temporarily, but does nothing for the guy slacking outside while his buddies do all the work.

I'm having an issue where mine just stands at the starting point and does nothing. Had him for a handful of days and he just doesn't move. Restarted and fired/rehired. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

My two stockers are just staring at shelves today. I can break them free by picking up the box they are staring at and they will walk away and grab a different item to restock, but 2 minutes later if I look into the warehouse they are both standing frozen staring at boxes again.

when this happens to me i just save game quit out and re-continue the game. That has worked every time, It also helps not to move things around in the store and in the storage room while they are stocking up do it only once they are standing outside.

Same problem here. My restocker just stands around and does nothing. Two restocker dont change a thing. Hired and fired a lot, restarted the game. Nothing helps.

This issue is over a week old now and the game is literally unplayable. Restockers are not working. Up to 12 Customers are at the ned of the day lagging the shelves taking nothing from it. This game has so much potential but this bug makes a mess out of it.
