Automatons stepping on people

[Spicy]

how can you prevent this without slowing them down?

Create a clear path for them where no people walk through.

You make your choice and live with it the rest of the game, like you do with everything else. With upgrades it's essentially 5 steel to make another prosthesis for an amputee every few days. Not worth slowing down the Automatons.

And that's if you're feeling nice. Assuming all reasonably necessary workspaces are staffed and you have excess population twiddling their thumbs most of the time, you can just let them slowly collect in Care Houses and consume half rations.

You can't.
Either you let automatons step on people and mutilate them (you can still use prosthetics for them) or you lose efficiency.

Doesn't work, at least the very first accident is a scripted event. You can even predict when it will happen (few moments after the engineer thanks you for letting him do the "Automaton Project").

It's ridiculous how railroaded this game is.
