employee stealing items on racks

[Lyrio Notes]

I've been having this issue where an employee would take every item in a rack. i've tried hitting them, talking, and restarting the game but it still continues. this happened before and i fired him and got a new one. but itll cost signing fee again

[Stabby McStabface]

yea happening to me too, had to fire him

[DayBreak]

Yes this is happening to me as well and i dont know what to do. My botanist keeps taking all of my seeds and soil.

same here just sent an email into support hopefully this will be looked at sooner than later

I'm also a victim of theft. Employee takes weed off the rack, should bring it to packaging, but he just walks out the door, weed gone, nothing gets produced.

The weird thing is: This same procudre worked fine for days, only today the bug appeared and I haven't changed anything in the employee's setup.

I tried redoing assignments and replacing shelves. didnt help. I ended up killing the employee and replacing them and that worked.

As of April 4th I’m still having this issue also, hopefully the devs look into it soon

[TheMediocreBriton]

It still happens and the current fix is to just fire and rehire. It can happen again with the new employee though. Sometimes saving, quitting and re-entering has fixed it for me

Perhaps this is the feature, not a bug ^^. I fired and killed 6 employees in 2 days because of it. The further I am in the game with more procedures, the more this bug or feature appears. I think this could be a feature because my botanist stole coca seeds and soil from the storage rack but not fertilizers. Meanwhile, handlers were stealing everything on the rack. A chemist was stealing coke after it was mixed in a specific mixing station. I even think that my cleaner stole money from his case on the bed for 5 days and didn't work because I paid all of them for 5 days upfront but cleaner's case was empty and he didn't work but maaybe I forgot to put it.. pretty sure I did but maaybe..

Happened the same, cant even submit bug report for anohter error

Had this bug, you can fix it by rehiring or going into your save folder, then opening Properties/<Property Name>/Employees/<Packager Name>/Inventory.json and removing the items from the employee. The file should look like:

{
    "Items": [ ]
}

Seems to be a bug where their inventories are full of a different ingredient(s) than the mixing station is expecting.

This did the trick! Thanks a lot

This game is more realistic than anyone gives it credit for. Employees always be stealing stuff at their job.

Happened to me to, the little fu**** stole all my weed and packaging. I gave him to bullets and hired a new one! Sad, he'd been with me for some time..

[Mensencio]

I just unloaded a clip on one of this employee's back, wont be stealing anything else

As of 4/15 employee theft is on the rise in Hyland Park, and with no end in sight employers are turning to violence as the only solution.

Making an example of the perpetrator before rehiring seems to make a difference to me
