Employees not working

[Raw]

For some reason my employees doesn't move even tho i assigned and paid them

[Ston3dF1sh]

I got my person to work properly, did you set them up correctly?

[Gigantic Yufka]

I have the same issue. I have botanist and handler, paid them and assigned them. I think employee system kinda buggy right now.

I assihned packaging station, shelf with full of empty jar, output destination is also not full but handler is saying "I got nothing to do right now"

Assign packaging shelf, product shelf going into the packaging machine, click on packaging machine to designate an output shelf

mine will often just stand next to a pot as if they are mid task and wont work unless i fire them and hire new

[batmanislazzz]

my stupid ass botanist just sits around. plants are ready to trim and they have a destination for the plants to go and everything. im pretty sure ive set everything up correctly...might just do it myself atp

[Patpat]

I dunno guys, I hired a botanist, I assigned bed, destination etc, he just does nothing...
Is this aspect wroking in the game ?

I had one lazy and one productive botanist. I punched out the lazy one. The next day I had two productive botanists.

You can also knock them out, sleep and upon the start of the new day they are revitalized and operational again. Saving and reloading up the game will also work but not nearly as enjoyable

Make sure the suspension racks/grow boxes have one tile of distance between them. That fixed it for me.

[idiopathic]

if they were working just fine before and then freeze, just punch them once or twice and they will get moving again.

make sure you assign a bed, make sure you set them up on the clipboard, and make sure there is money in their briefcase, increments of 100$

Tx I'll try, in case they need water and soil dispensers too, I'll better do it myself

If your workers are stuck in place, that means their pathing is likely the issue. As one user suggested try shifting things around to allow for more space. Botanists seem to get stuck in between the pots if placed right next to each other.

Alternatively, just talk to the worker so it causes their character to turn and face you. 100% of the time for me this is enough movement to pull them out of their stuck state and they go right back to work. If this doesn't work, worst case is you save and reload the game.

After the Bungalow you'll have a lot more space to work with but you'll also be scaling up as well as going into meth and coke so it won't be as cramped but still can be when trying to optimize.

instead of firing them you can knock them out, when they get back up they go back to working like normal

Can someone that has it working properly please give a step by step explanation of how to set up an employee? How does the clipboard work? Nothing about this makes sense.

Handler setup:
1. Hit e with clip board while pointing at the handler/packing npc
2. click assign bed option with left click
3. run to bed and select with left click.

Assigning station for handler:
1. Hit e clipboard on handler npc
2. click assign station option on clipboard
3. run to packing station, left click.

Setting up routes for handler (example: move item from storage to packing station):
1. clip board npc with E
2. click on new route on clipboard
3. click on "from" option on clipboard then go to storage shelf and left click
4. click on clipboard "to" option then go to packing station and left click.

After you get them setup, in order for them to work you have to put money in their suitcase on their bed for the day to work.

If for whatever reason they get stuck due to ♥♥♥♥ pathing. Save and reload the game, knock them unconscious and go to bed, or knock them over with your skateboard.
