Workmen idle

[Iopsis]

Hey guys,

I seem to have run into a bug where there's multiple tasks for the workmen to complete, but they just move around in the storage room, idle.

I try and re-queue the task, but they still don't do anything.

Any suggestions? There was one issue I thought it might be, which is that I tried to dismantle a tree near a lake, but they couldn't reach it and it was stuck on the queue list - but that can't stop 8 workmen doing a task...

I'm running on mac if anyone has any suggestions to the .prison file.

Thanks.

We are going to need more details.

Is you storage and/or delivery area full? Yes, make it bigger
Are those areas accesible? No, place more doors
To whom are the jobs assigned?

Try uploading some screenshots of your jobs list and delivery/storage area.

Everything's accessible. No assigned zones.
No overflowing items in storage or delivery.

Here's a few screenshots for you!

To me it does appear as if the building in the far left (next to the holding cell isn't accesible. I think you should be able to build an entrance on the south wall. Otherwise check the deployment screen and choose a wall that is part of the accesible zone

Sorry should have made it more clear. Even if I put the door there, they still do nothing - was just because I reloaded the game that the door disappeared.

Deployment isn't even unlocked in my game save yet.

The problem is that they won't build a door in a room that's unaccessible, thereby creating your problem.

I've have this 'bug' for dozens of time. It seems it happens often. Last electric cable or pipe will not install. Or it will but after very long delay. Also in large maps it's just hard to get thing build in opposite side of the map. This is not a door problem. They just leave last piece uninstalled.

Yup same thing.

Yup same thing.

i have had the same problem and it took awhile for me to figure out why...look around for boxes/items stuck in a wall or under a tree the route to 1 item is blocked most likely...and its probable something stupid

btw where is that tree that they are trying to remove?
