I will look into it, but lost likely this mod is not the cause of the bug. The logic I add with this mod does not affect the logic locking kicked people out. Do you have any other worker related mods installed?

This is the only mod I have installed.

Edit: Just tried a clean install and getting the exact same thing.

This is just a surface level guess/observation - I think its not the lock out but the assigning. Its ignoring the lockout and keeps assigning them to the last place they were manualy assigned, bypassing the filter like it would if you assigned them yourself.

I can reproduce every time by building say a grocer + polymer fac - assigning an engineer to the grocer without disabling the filter then firing him (though its not exclusive to this combination of buildings and workers, just a basic test). If you try this and the engineer doesnt go to the grocer every time after being fired then there is a problem somewhere with my game I cant explain xD

Love the mod btw, this is minor thing compared to trying to manage workers without the filter :)

Well, the game *usually* uses the function ChangeWorkplace to figure out where a worker should go. My mod adds a slight modification to that function where the filter is applied. My guess is that you are getting some kind of state where that function is never called, but instead the game suses some other method to determine where to place the worker (a method where the filter is never applied).

Just a guess off the top of my head though, I will try to reproduce and see if I can solve it when I have some more time. Thanks for the info :)
