Vets not doing research (FIXED)

[Cubelai Khan]

As the title says. I'm in franchise, have 2 areas where I have research buildings and both are fairly isolated. I've had this issue before and its started to get really annoying. I've tried even getting a new vet in the area only for them to have "wandering" as their main goal in life. I've also unchecked all their other tasks aside from research in the employment tab to only give me the same result. Any known fix?

Not trying to be mean or anything, but I have to point out the obvious of did you tell them what to research? Sometimes it's easy to overlook the obvious.

In addition to setting them to research the individual animal, you need to make sure the vet has easy access to the habitat, research building and a staff resting room (preferably all in a work zone). If any of these three are inaccessible or too far from each other, they will spend most of their time commuting and not get much/any research done.

Ty, having access to said animal for research seems to be the issue. I've been getting used to having my staff in small pods so they don't need to go around with guests too much/at all.
