pops keep switching jobs

[crapdog64]

My pops keep switching jobs. This is really a problem because i'm about to run out of food and energy credits because they don't stay in the jobs long enough to produce anything. I don't thinks its mods because i've had this happen in games with no mods. Does anyone have any suggestions or fixes?

It's mods... or too many jobs available, but it's mods.

Too many jobs, not enough pops.

On your food planets mark the food jobs as priority, then they should stay there.

Yeah everytime a new building slot is available doesnt mean you NEED to build anything there.

Wait until you've got some unemployment or something to fill those jobs. Otherwise you're going to be taking pops out of resource gathering.

This.

There are three tiers of jobs: ruler, specialist, worker. The AI will prioritize jobs in that order, meaning it will fill ruler jobs before specialists/workers, and specialist jobs before workers.

You might be creating too many ruler/specialist jobs, leaving your worker jobs (food/minerals/energy) empty.

Like CyberBlaster said, go to the jobs tab on your planet. Click the food icon until a golden star appears. This will prioritize the job, filling it before any others.

Also you can temporarily disable some buildings until you get the pops to fill them. In tiles era you could build a whole planet and forget about it, now it's counter productive. I expand planets when i see clerks positions getting filled since they are the lowest priority of all, that way you don't risk getting important stuff out of workers.

Too many jobs available, but my experience is this happen only happen in recently conquered planet when amenities low then they shuffle erratically for awhile then it will settle. If i keep my amenities high, this never happen in a planet.
