Handler routes sometimes not working and deleting products

[Yes_terday]

One of my handlers had the following routes:

(L storage) Weed > Mixing station (Didn't work)
(L storage) Energy drink > Mixing station mk2 (Worked half of the time, sometimes doesn't work)
(L storage) Paracetamol > Second mixing station mk2 (worked perfectly)
(L storage) Mixed weed > Packaging station mk2 (worked perfectly)

Some routes didn't work, some worked half of the time, but the worst part is the first route where the weed should be taken from the L storage and put into the first mixing station mk2.

The handler takes the weed from the L storage, only to walk outside and do nothing. When checking his inventory, there's no weed to be found. This bug has been around quite some time and it seems the only workaround is to kill / fire the bugged handler and hiring a new one.

I hope you are able to address this problem as I don't want to be paying a 1.5k fee every ingame week or so.

Thanks Tyler for making the game fun and enjoyable, keep up the good work. All the best to you.

Make sure no two employees will put or withdraw product in the same shelf/station, that should fix your issues until there's a working patch. ^^

So I can't have a botanist putting weed in a shelf while a handler takes it from there to the mixing station?

If that's the case, what is the point of automating things?

You can. This might be referring to having 2 handlers do the same job. I've seen no issues with a botanist and handler sharing the same shelf, as one deposits and the other retrieves, so both doing different things.

You've got a point there. However, it was the only handler active in this save so in my situation it doesn't apply. Thanks anyway for letting me know I should watch out for double handler routes! :)
