My chemist stopped working :(

My chemist is just standing in my bungalow in the middle of the kitchen not moving towards any of the assigned stations. She worked the first day, and then has been standing in one place for two days since. I've tried unassigning them and reassigning, then i emptied them and even started making meth at them. She just wont do anything. She has been paid as well.

You can speak to her and ask her why she isn´t working. That will usually give you the reason.

it might be how they are positioned in the room and what the are trying to do, maybe the destination for the oven is full so she is waiting for space to move the product or she bugged out trying to cook and has product in her pocket and you need to sleep and reload the game and it should fix and then move the station to a different orientation so she can work at it compared to the chem station at different angles. Seems like when things are side by side they can bug out when going from one to the other.

I noticed this happen with my hauler when he got stuck hauling items from backup supply to supply shelf for botanist because the shelves where facing as you would expect them to be facing lengthwise side by side along the wall but I had to turn them 90 degrees so they access them from the end of the shelves rather than the middle basically this allows them to stand on the spot without having to move to be able to access both their pickup location and their drop off location,

This same bug happens when NPC get stuck not going through their house door when you talk to them. If you push the NPC into position you can fix the bug.

I suspect if you push teh scientist onto position it will fix it but you might not be able to move them so jsut position the work stations so she has better working angles for both.

For eg you should sandwich the worker between both stations so they dont have to move to access both they just turn from one spot to the other and will always be in the correct position for both stations.

There's just currently a lot of bugs involving the workers that Tyler needs to work on.

Bugs I've run into: Workers getting their pathing stuck until you do a restart. Botanists not drying products on drying racks until it's completely full, thus bottlenecking production. Chemists assigned to Cauldrons can cause the Cauldrons to no longer become interacted with and they won't use it themselves. (Same bug can happen to Drying Racks and Botanists) Cleaners not cleaning until you pick up the trash can and place it down again, then re-assign them. Meanwhile, Handlers have been known to steal product if they're currently moving it when the work day ends.

Erase and re-do the Path of her.

The only thing that's said when I speak to her is "I want to fire you" or something. There are no needs being unmet by the employee

I did erase and re-do her tasks, and she was still just standing there :(

I saw the chemist perform her job for the first day, moving from station to station. I was also unable to "push" her anywhere. She's just standing in the middle of the room not doing anything and my only interaction with her is the option to fire her.

Just unassign them and sleep and it should allow you to access any locked equipment you may need to fire them and sleep if unassigning doest work.

Otherwise best you can do is try to make their pathing as easy as possible with placement and work routing so they can walk from one station to the next without getting bugged.

also holding a charged punch will knock them down and move them a bit if they are stuck this should reset their pathing but just dont hit them too much or they will be out for the day.

A "quick" fix for this of when they are stuck in their path. I am not talking about when they are stuck outside in their waiting position. But next to a machine. Wind up a punch fully and literally punch them to the floor towards the machine they was going to. It will alot of times knock them out of the path bug and they will start working again.
