settlers not making food

[bonito flakes]

Im on the Sanctuary quest where I must provide food. I managed to grow a few plants in a small yard, and assign some settlers to work on them. problem is when i exit workshop mode they just stand up and walk away and I must assign them again. Is this a bug?

Bump, having the same issue.

how are you assigning the settlers in the first place?

click on command, and then go over to the vendor/food, and hit assign. Something I'm missing?

yeah I figured it out...to answer the original issue..it seems like they can only have so many tasks per settler.

I see the same problem in the top bar, but in the pop up message is says something like "Providing food for settlers, 100% complete✓" so I have no idea how it works.

how can we take tasks off of them? Just a simple command?

I honestly don't know..I quit ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with it after this..it's way to much of a hassel..this ♥♥♥♥ should of been implemented better since they appreantly spent so much time on it..over other aspects of the game.

Update: so apparently there is a SPECIAL atribution for each dwellers, similar to the same thing we have in Fallout Shelter, that assign each person to a certain task. For example the grumpy lady will always be a farmer if there is any kind of plants on the ground, and she will produce 6 points of food.

When I assign the Jake Long dude to the farm, he walks over and do it. Once I quit the workshop screen he walks away. I would guess that he has low Agility just like in FO Shelter, and he would be better somewhere else, but this guy simply is not a farmer.
