Workers are too slow

[cptmittens]

The workers in this game are really buggy and even when they do work they're so slow it's sometimes better just to do it yourself at the end of the day. I had to fire my handler because she basically takes all day to package product that I can do in 5 min at the end of the day. Botanist are extremely slow too but not nearly as bad as the handlers. I haven't experimented with chemists yet but I'm sure it's more of the same.

Botanists are fast enough I feel but handlers are an absolute joke, it takes them about 10 seconds to put one seed in a bag. So slow they are useless, so I pack myself now.

[I C DEAD PEOPLE]

Jupp. Shoot them in the head and do it yourself. The most useless worker so far is the handler / packer. I watch him pack 6 bags of weed in like a minute, which is 1h in game time.

He got a bullet and a dumpster funeral.

Trueeeee I saw the Handlers working at a snails pace. I think they do not benefit from the MkII Packaging Station, that might be the problem!

Well ... either you (as the boss) can buy / transport / grow / mix / package / deal stuff all by yourself to ca. 100 Customers a day ALL BY YOURSELF ... OR ... you get some minor workers for a low salary ... which take much work from you (atleast if you play alone)

Dont see the critic ... they help me alot even if not as fast as me

The critic is they are too slow. Which is true. The handler is slow as ♥♥♥♥.

But also Botanists ware way too slow. If you give them 8 Pots and they need to do everything (including new soil) and two fertillizer (which isnt even the max the game allows) they arent able to finish the tasks for all pots in time. At least the 8th the fertillizers are applied to slow to count. And thats not even Pots with max growth rate. I could use lights which have 30% more speed but I only have 15%.

Plus its inconsistent how they work. Had 2 botanists and the 1st was working following order (which worked fine btw)
Goes to pot 1
Putting in soil (if not still the overpriced multiuse in)
Putting seed in
watering
fertillizer 1
fertillizer 2
goes to pot 2 repeat

After got the Barn and got a new one he works as follow (which results in not being finished in time for all pots)

Takes Soil and puts it into pot 1-8
takes seed and puts it into pot 1-8
waters pot 1-8
uses fertillizer 1 (breaks if needs to water) on pot 1-8
uses fertillizer 2 (breaks if needs to water) on pot 1-8
most of the time Plants 6 to 8 tend to be finished growing before he applied fertillizer 1 on them. But he still waste the fertillizer on them before harvesting.

Disagree with the botanists (see my post above)

[phrog]

handlers are decent at taking things from a to b within your compound

They're slow compared to a human yes, but they're still fast enough that they spend 90% of the time smoking outside even when their to-do list is filled up. They need more orders, especially handlers need alot more from and to orders.
And chemists should put ingredients in mixers themselves too.

How small is your business if they can smoke 90% of the time? I only have a small one and 1 botanists, 1 packer and 1 cleaner and the cleaner is the only one smoking.

8 pots per botanists, handler use 3 brickstations and 5 move orders, cleaner has 3 trashcans assigned.

I did exagerate with the 90%, but i do see them outside often.

Hopefully as a fix they add fear to the game. I mean I would work faster if the boss is standing there watching me with his gun out

So what pots do you use? Surely not the faster growth ones because with them the botanists are totally overworked and they can barely manage 4 in time (with max growth rate). Brickstations are to high for me now, cant say anything to this now. Cleaner yes is totally underworked. But the other two sound more like your botanists are either running out of supplies so cant work or sth different is off.

I feel you the time it takes to do allll the work in my bungalow at least it’s multiple people doing jobs at the same time versus me running around doing everything I’ll take the slow every the overworked
