Why do workers get stuck when processing uneven stacks? (18/20, 4/5 ect)

[Sunman]

I keep noticing on my coke warehouse that all the drying racks were stuck at 18/20 leaves, or at the bungalow the packaging station+worker would get stuck when they would put 4 flower units, along with jars (5) causing them to get stuck also.
What am I doing wrong? The handlers stop working unless I manually go in there and take out the uneven stack. The handlers in my warehouse don't seem to be able to top up a stack that's 18/20 to 20/20 and then move on to the next rack and top that one up.
Did I organise my handlers wrong?

I've never seen it get stuck infinitely. Want me to log into your game and look?

Rack are always uneven, but never seen it get stuck. Botanists move rack product to shelves or whatever rack destination is. I usually have a dedicated Botanist just for the racks.

What about between 1 handler and 2 storage shelves? In my bungalow (where I keep getting the 4/5 flower to jar problem) I have 1 handler picking up bud from 2 shelves, but always leaves 1 shelf full and 1 empty. It's like the handler is only checking shelf #1, until its empty AND THEN checking shelf #2, but shelf #1 always has 4-6 bud it on so shelf #2 never gets checked and the whole automation stops.

ive noticed several tiles that are bugged, The little square that show up when placing items ive found about 9 of those in the bungalow that if the interaction section of a station is on one the npc either gets stuck or wont even attampt to interact with it.

also for me i always encountered this when there wasnt enough product for 1 jar, which meant that one strain holds up the packaging of the others strains

[fragbucket]

i managed to resolve the problem by not using multiple strains on a single packaging station btw :D hope that helps

check set destination. make sure destination is not full

also, dont forget to punch your workers often. not sure if it helps but i like to think it does.

I shot one of my workers because the shelf and his work orders were bugged and was causing him to remove my supplies from the shelf in an infinite loop, litterally removing all my mixing items into a blackhole of empty computer game space into an abyss where they would never be seen again.

After an hour or so of re-assigning and other larping around i finally pulled out the gun on him and put us both out of the misery.
heheheheheheh

Efficiency Junkies Unite ! I've noticed they get stuck if there's a different item to pack on the shelf, that is different from the one on the packing table. The items need to be 100% the same, any mixes or quality difference will not be packed. Work-around is take the different item off the packing table, and make sure the items on the shelf are the same, for extended efficiency. Mess about with your workers. I'm still messing about with mine for best extended efficiency, and fun, but now I've just started "Brick Packing" and listening to Giorgio Moroder's Scarface Soundtrack and wanting to watch Breaking Bad and spinoffs for a Sixth time. Enjoy !

ive also noticed that if you get two storage racks. put one single item on one. and a full stack on second and have a worker move full stack to rack with one. it makes two full stacks....

on single rack this pattern
x0x0
x0x0
x=single product
0=empty space
then set 4 full stacks on other rack. bam full rack of goods

Oh yeah, there "Was" a bug where some workers would be frozen. Not sure if it's been fixed yet. "Sleep" and quit the game, then reload, and they should be good.

yeah i had this problem, at least before the last recent patch. i ended up shooting one of my guys because of this problem, as after a while they'd do it again and id have to restart the game, and then, restarting didnt fix it, thats when he got it in the head hehehe
