Guard posts are worthless

[Scruffy Sage]

I've got several advanced guard posts around my complex, none of them are EVER manned. If they do get manned the guard sits there for maybe 2 minutes before abandoning the post. How is this worthless ass item even in the game if it never works???

[Cyn]

They get manned if you stick on High Alert, but yeah within a couple of minutes the guard gets sleepy or hungry and abandons their post....

[Scruffy Sage]

The advanced posts are supposed to be manned regardless of alert status, that's the entire reason I wanted to use them lmao. Right now it just seems like everyone does what they want and orders be damned

i got a similar issue where no one wants to work in my casino, doesnt mather how much people i own that is casino workers...
and once they go they dont even serve people 1 drink before they go back into the main base doing whatever they feel for doing.

You bring up another good point that goes along with this, every minion just does what the hell they want.

Yeah I noticed this too. They will usually stand there longer if I have more guards. But honestly I think this is something that might get fixed in a patch. In EG1, they work like they are suppose to.

Yep, hands down, one of the most worthless parts of this game.

Honestly, they should be manned 24/7 with guards constantly getting food and whatnot. Would be cool if they took the broken bathrooms out, made them usable by guards, but make them break from time to time and need rep. It would make it funny, guards cant use the bathroom, have an accident and need to go clean and change their cloths or something. Would be better than a always empty guard post, guards change shifts and all that.

I love this game though... I wish it was on everything, I would buy it for my switch right now...

This game isn't getting the push it should, its wonderful.

Ok so it's not just me, I'm glad to hear that!
Really wish this had more polish but I'm enjoying it so what can you do. Thank god I can just constantly active high alert and be annoyed that everyone is fleeing my casino

Here's a tip: wherever you need rooms with constant minion presence, ALWAYS build the holy trinity in vicinity (Barracks for resting, Mess Hall for regaining smarts and that entertainment room for keeping the morale up). They need not be big, only to be easily reachable and with enough capacity to accommodate 6 minions so they can always be on rotation in that segment.

The most common mistake I see is people build one giant Mess Hall/Barracks/entertainment room and think that it is enough - no, it isn't and shouldn't be done in that way, because by segmenting these rooms and building multiple ones you speed up stat regain in each operational sector and maintain that near perfect efficiency.

[(N☆G) Jackal ★JJ★]

Yeah. I'm having the same issue.
Over 30 guards and 20 mercs and none of them ever like to man the advanced post.

Also, this game's traps just out right piss me off.
They rarely work on the enemy and I have seen more of my workers/minions die to my own traps way more than I've seen a trap even trigger for an enemy.

I want to love this game but there are just some glaring issues that should have been addressed that are absolutely obvious and impossible to not have encountered during just testing.

I suggest air conditioners or one of these http://imgur.com/a/j5ehM2F. It really helps i have 15 valets and the casino is usually well manned. Not fully staffed but enough to distract people.


As for guard posts. They do seem kindnof pointless when guard tables exist. And dont guards just run at intruders during high alert anyway? Are guard posts supposed to stop intruders you didnt see? But if you didnt see them why are you on high alert

they are manned for me and working https://i.imgur.com/V1sWljd.png

I want guard posts outside my prison, so they can be on the scene if someone tries to break out. But I'm glad I'm not the only one who has found the advanced ones worthless, it's impossible to get anyone to man them consistently.

Heres a tip, my prison is actually behind my armor. So for a prisoner to escape they have to physically walk past several guards. Add a cameras nearby and nobody will ever escape again

OH the minion screen, where you look at who you have employed, you can click each minion that works for you and set a priority job. I havnt had much time to mess with it but you "should" be able to push your people to work in certain areas that way.
