chemist

[GavDav1968]

i have my chemist assigned right and its just standing there doing nothing, ive tried letting hr go and reassigning

[Codger]

I tried a bunch of things and couldn't get it to move either . I gave up on the processors altogether until they get better AI.

[It'sa me Malario]

Same Problem here, hope they fix it soon :/

You have to :
- Assign a bed
- Assign 3 benches
- Assign a recipe to benches
- Assign a storage to put the stuff produced
- Pay them by putting cash on the case that spawned on their bed

AI works fine, you just didn't read how to do things... it's litteraly wrote on paper.

It still bugs out my guy... They get stuck doing a task but don't complete it then will just not move anymore unless you restart the game

I have 25 employees on 2 different games with 2 friends, none of them bugged once.
I'm 100% sure it's up to you.

Hey man - it seems like it's a mix of things. I have also got my chemists stuck. Reloads of the save kinda work, but it seemed like the issue comes right back.

I found that the orientation of the tables seems to matter a lot - something that works for the player does not work the these NPCs. Try to keep the tables well spaced - side by side if possible. My NPCs were getting stuck during their pathing to the next station. Seems to be working better now that I have spaced out the tables. Hope this helps.

This is a legt bug. I had 2 chemists working properly, after a few rotates they freeze and stop working

Im 100% sure you're clueless. Its a bug.

I got one to start working again by picking up and placing the workstations again then reassigning them to it. Not sure if it is the same issue you are having, but worth a shot.

[Homiesexual]

I have a similar issue, my factory was working for around 10 in game days, now one of the chemists mixes but doesn't move the product and then the product disappears, as if he consumed it lol. Only way to fix it was to fire the worker and re-hire. I was a bit unsure why I kept having to order bananas!!

[EliteForceQc]

They dont work after 4AM

-talking to them sometime fix it.
-reinstalling the working station sometime fix it.
-retarting the game.
-getting rid of the cash(bed) and put it back sometime fix it.

Fixing that bug is really random. Same for the dealer.

[Your Mums Your Dad]

I've found the same softlocking issue.
What fixed it for me is having the lab ovens side by side only. If I have them in an L shape, partially overlapping in a corner ,they just kept bugging out and I was having the same problem.

[cyberFox]

don't place in L-shape

it could also be the path ways for the NPCs too
i had a harvester plant 3 crops then go take a break, i just reorganized the room and they work fine

Beat them with a bat at the end of the night until they are unconscious. Then sleep. This resets the workflow the following morning, and they should be up and working just fine.
