Botanists - Help?

[bobuler]

I had a successful set up the bungalow with 6 pots and a botanist was running this fine. They have now started ignoring 3 of the pots. They have plenty of supplies, and the destination for these pots is the same as the 3 pots that are still functional - nothing else has changed.

I have also tried remapping all the pots and the botanists instructions with the clipboard, but still ignores the same 3 pots.

Has anyone come across a similar issue?

Same, I couldn't get the botanist to use all 6 of my air pots and he just cared about the first 3

I had similar issue and I think it is cause by mess, look at your pot is there leaf inside it ? From time to time I see that leaf is stuck in my pot and then botanist ignore it for some reason. Try to pick that pot up, clean the leaf and reassign your botanist

Do you have the pots set to a seed type that you are out of? Have you tried asking the botanist why he isn't working when the 3 functional ones are growing and watered(like he's idling because he has nothing to do)?

There arent any seed types set. The botanist just says he has nothing to do right now when I ask him when Idle. Not helpful!

I had a similar issue to this, but I just picked the pot up and reset the area. Again, didnt help :(

I'm not sure if i just needed to restart my game as I've booted him, changed nothing and the Botanist is now back to servicing all 6 pots... thanks all though (for now!)

Same. Had a botanist in bungalow with 6 pots. I 'interfered' with one of the pots by adding fertiliser (botanist was not instructed to add it, I just wanted one harvest with it). As soon as I added it, he never touched the pot again. I harvested the plant myself, then the pot stayed empty. I removed, re-placed, and readded it to his instructions. Still ignored it. Save/quit/restart. Didn't help. I removed all his orders. picked-up/re-placed all the pots, and then gave all fresh orders. Still ignored that one pot. Save/quit/restart and finally it worked.

Have the same issue, reset the workers tasks no change. I manually did the three and had to quit. We'll see what happens when I load back in

Restart of game fixed it

had this same issue - restart fixes it - thanks for bringing this problem up :)

Confirming restart has also fixed this, tried replacing pots and reassigning before hand but restart seems to work

It seems to be a bug specific with bungalow. If restarting doesn't work, move them around. Its just like random dead zones in the bungalow.
