Shearing Station bug?
I've built a shearing station in my drecko ranch but my dupes can't use it because it says "no critters available".
There's nothing blocking the drecko path and I couldn't find anything that could've cause this problem.
Help appreciated.

Could also be because there's already one critter in the grooming/shearing station so at the time you're looking at the errands tab there's none available, not because there's no drecko but because there's no room to groom/shear it.

Sometimes funky behavior can be fixed with a save/reload.

Not sure this is any help but I hope it does, it's about all I can think of in terms of game mechanics biting you. Of course it could be a glitch/bug in which case I'd report it to the Klei bug tracker.

The grooming station is also bugged.

The other two dreckos are normal, the one near the blossom seed won't count as available.

Thanks for the reply, it seems that drecko in particular is glitched, the others in this ranch and in my other ranch are completly normal.

I guess something i did managed to unglitch the drecko; maybe piping more oxygen to the room or reloading the save.

It happened in my base too. They don't want to shear :( Everything seems reacheable. I've tryed to reload, but... NO.
