my employees steal from me ?

[Princesse_Peche]

Hi

I recently encountered a very annoying bug. The botanist, who until then had been working very well, has now taken all the seeds and soil from storage, but is no longer planting anything. All the soil/seed has simply disappeared. I sent her back but she kept taking the material and making it disappear.

It's like she's stealing all my soil and seeds, is it possible ?

Has anyone encountered this kind of bug? And maybe found a soltuion to get their hardware back or for it not to happen again?

Thx for your help.

it's the same with me, only in my case the handler just stood there and only his paw was moving and everything disappeared one by one, when I hit him he just turned around, it didn't change anything

This is a well reported bug that can happen with handlers too.. they just go to your shelves and delete everything.

It's a pretty extreme bug, really bad. All you can do is fire and hire someone else... and just wait for it to happen again with another employee. I've had it happen twice so far.

This is one of two major employee bugs. Sometimes they just forget their purpose and stand around, other times they delete your stuff.

I think these bugs happen after a certain amount of play time in a session. I only noticed them happening after long play sessions (and once it starts, saving/restarting is not a guaranteed fix - you have to fire/re-hire for guarantee). Also noticed some lagging/CPU issues after a long play session.

I have been doing shorter sessions, saving/restarting every hour, and I haven't had these issues for a while.

Thank you very much for your answers. We'll just have to wait for it to be resolved then.

I note the hyptohesis of the game session being too long, I'd think of relaunching the game to make them shorter.

In any case thank you for your feedback

I'll copy paste what I wrote in a different thread, I've played a couple of hours more and Eric has been working fine since:

"I'm playing the #6 update (April 4) and the bug is still there.

I had one employee (Eric) in the docks warehouse showing the behavior, walking up to my storage and just deleting everything, then going back to his idle spot.

I looked through the save files:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\TVGS\Schedule I\Saves\...\Properties\Docks Warehouse\Employees\Eric Wilson

Eric's Inventory.json showed that his inventory was completely full of batteries, which I suppose leads to the items disappearing when he tries placing them in his inventory.

I deleted his Inventory.json file and he now seems to be working correctly. I'm still testing though."

Edit: I'm pretty sure you have to reload your game after deleting the file.

Yeah thoses ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ are stealing from their boss, ironically a bug that relates more of a real life situation

I'll try that the next time he steals my products, thanks for the tip!
