Is the interest system broken ?

[M29]

Here's a new game screenshot of my 3 initials dupes. 

Ellie : 4 learning, Suppy interest

Leira : 4 learning

Ruby : 2 learning + Early bird bonus 

 

Based on that , I assumed Ellie would master Supply 50% faster but all three are progressing at about the same speed. 

Ellie is definitely not mastering her supplies job 50% faster. 

 

Am I missing something ?

I thinkit only works when they do their job, and "supply" doesn't have a job. You'll notice they don't progress slower even if you completely disable supply as a priority.

Last I tested several of the interests did nothing, Art, Supply and ranching. I have been told (have not tested myself) that Science and farming work as intended but cannot confirm.

Probably bonus exp if they are doing that job. I usually start my dupes down the research tree for bonus learning before anything else.

anything indicated when you hover on the supply priority in the priority tab counts as a supply job.  comparing various dupes all doing different things but assigned the same job isn't proof its not working, we've all seen how rando the dupes get.  Unless you ensure they all do the same things all the time...

  my dupes with interests seem to gain skills faster - from dig  on up.    i guess i should say, i'm not noticing any delay, dupes level as fast as i expect and i recently had a dupe with dig interest reach senior before another that also got set to high priority dig. *shrug* ymmv.

I'm also not deliberately timing everyone as would be necessary to absolutely refute   Recently game play (dig, farm, tidy, supply) all behaved as expected.
