How to stop dupes from running to Printing pod to "relax" ?
I have a Great Hall with water cooler in it. Some dupes stay in the Great hall when they want to relax, some run half across the universe to derp near the Printing Pod.

How do you deal with this? Do you entomb your printing pod ?

The dupes look for a safe space to relax (propably so they don't stand around in hostile environment while being idle and suffocate). Seems like your pod has a nice decor-value.
My dupes mostly stand around in my bristle berry farm to relax and enjoy the nice flowers xD

You could make your pod unaccessible by placing it behind doors and not allow dupes to go in. Though I think they increase their skills there, so this would be an issue.

Consdier making a relax-room for the dupes, that is better than the pod. Have nice decor, maybe some light. Because one other thing my farm and the pod have in common is the fact they also have light sources.

Is the great hall being recognized when you select the rooms overlay?

Yes, +6 morale, it has a ton of decor.

Ah, ok, i will try putting a light source, indeed my Pod is the only location with light. I use the pod to light up my research workshops.

Nope, the dumb dupe is still running to Pod to relax like an idiot. This is so annoying jeez.

The pod has an off switch; if you turn off the pod light, they won't be nearly as interested in it.
Also, if you enable proximity in your priorities menu, you will have a better chance (by no means a guarantee) of them going to the closer rec area instead of halfway across the map.

But the main thing is right now your pod and your great hall are both viable so/so options, so they might pick either. Get a jukebox in there
