Schedule 1 workers not working fix
Employees or workers in Schedule 1 can be immensely beneficial to expand your business empire, but they need to work properly in the first place. There are a fair number of bugs that have affected the performance of the different workers available in the game. While some of the glitches seem to have been caused by bugs, others are related to their design. This guide will help you to make the most of your workers and ensure that they're working as intended. How to get your workers to work properly in Schedule 1 If your workers aren't working as intended, chances are that there are problems with what they have been assigned. Here are a few tricks and tips to remember to ensure that your employees are always working as intended. Ensure they have a bed Screenshot via Destructoid Having a free bed is a must, as your worker will need a designated place to sleep. Even if it's daytime and there's work to be done, a worker will refuse to work if they are yet to be assigned a bed. You'll also notice that there's a briefcase on every bed. The first task after you wake up is to ensure that your workers have been paid for the day. For more convenience, you can keep extra cash in them. That way, you don't have to micromanage the task daily. Of course, this method will work if you have a large amount of cash reserve in the first place. Use the clipboard sensibly Screenshot by Destructoid I am not a big fan of the employee clipboard, but it performs all the important tasks related to assigning your workers. Try to master the basics as quickly as possible, and this guide will help you understand how the clipboard works. Define the routes and supplies Screenshot via Destructoid Workers like Botanists and Handlers will need a source of supplies. They will use furniture like storage shelves to either take items out or store your products in them. As of writing, you can't reassign any of your workers. I believe that this limitation will be removed in the future, but for now, make sure to assign your workers correctly. Always ensure that there is no overlap when it comes to the supplies assigned to your workers. For example, if the storage shelf assigned to a Botanist becomes full, they will refuse to harvest any produce. The same applies to a Handler, who will refuse to pack a product if they don't have access to the proper supply. Handlers typically work based on a defined route, so pay some attention to that. Keep the routes clear Some of my workers got stuck in a spot because they couldn't figure out a feasible route (simply because it wasn't in front of them). I believe that this is a bug, because I haven't found the issue after reloading the save. I will recommend you keep open spaces between different areas to prevent your employees from getting stuck. Plan your setup Screenshot by Destructoid This step is crucial to ensure overall efficiency, and it makes a massive difference. If your pots are planned on one side of the room, make sure that the products are stored on a shelf close to the pots. This saves time, helps to increase the supply of products indirectly, and also prevents your workers from acting funny in the first place. Ultimately, a lot of the bugs are unlikely to continue for long, as we already have the third patch for Schedule 1. The developer is pushing out patches on an almost daily basis, so most of the bugs, like your botanist getting stuck, should be fixed automatically with a client update. If not, try out the steps mentioned above. With or without bugs, these steps will ensure that your workers continue to work just how you have planned.
