No one wants to work at ground-penetrating scanner
I have a ground-penetrating scanner for several weeks, but no one wants to work on this thing to find minerals. I have several people working on research, my two research benches are constantly manned.
Even when I force people to work on the scanner, the pawn works for a very short time on it and then proceeds to go elsewhere.

Anyone having the same issue? Do I miss something?

I do/did exactly this. Have 2 research bench to expedite but once I achieved what I needed, I switched one off. So with 2 research pawns, one will then go to ground-scanner or long-range scanner (I have both, but not switched on at the same time).

It counts as research but at a lower priority than a bench. Either stop your research or add more total researches to have it constanly manned. Or I suppose you could zone a researcher on it too.

You are right, thank you <3
Turned off one of the research benches, and now they start to work on the scanner.

Gotta have fluffy's work tab mod .

So you can shift click and say "OK X YOU DO RESEARCH Y YOU DO RESEARCH P YOU DO MINERAL SCANNER".

Oh that's right. I've used it for some time, but somehow didn't like it very much as it seemed to mess with the priorities in a way, that my work schedule didn't work properly anymore. Perhaps I should give it a try again.

You need "scanning", not research. (I really reccomend Complex Jobs Mod for this so you have less of this headache.)
Also, just like research, you cannot just 'tell' a pawn to do it.
