KittenIsAGeek Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 This thread is to showcase dupes that are almost perfect, but also complete failures. I'll start off by showing Ashkan, the failed mechatronics engineer. In order to learn mechatronics, a dupe needs to be able to operate and supply. In order to USE their skill, they also need to be able to construct things. Research for faster learning? Check. Loves to supply? Check. Loves to operate? Check! WOot! Lets get go...ing. Wait.. What's that red at the bottom... Can't build? NOOOOOOO! Clearly Ashkan is smart enough to engineer.. but apparently he hates getting his hands dirty. Why does this sound so familiar?

OxCD Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Unconstructive is an unacceptable trait anyways... They are too good at trapping themselves that it quickly gets too risky.

BlackAeronaut Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Eh, I don't think it's so bad. If nothing else, you can set it up in the priorities tab that unconstructive dupes can be dedicated to other tasks that need doing, such as ranching, farming, operating, cooking, or even decorating.

Stoned Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I don‘t get it? Dupes without digging can easily get trapped, but unconstructive ones? And is this cool guy alone in your colony so that nobody else can do a little construction work? Than get him some company, hire some hardhats to do that task...

UNLESS you're training up a mechanical engineer. You can't build any shipping systems without a mechanical engineer, and only a mechanical engineer can construct them. So, a mechanical engineer that can't construct is worthless. 8 hours ago, BlackAeronaut said: Oh, trust me, I know. Behold this picture-perfect Kodak Moment I captured.

KittenIsAGeek Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Next up in the showcase is Joshua. He's a bit special. Seems he climbed an invisible ladder and got stuck. ... If he's still stuck after I reload, then I'll write up a bug report. For the curious, there was a ladder there that I replaced with sandstone tile. Later I destroyed the tiles to open up the space and ... apparently Joshua thinks the ladder still exists. But only for climbing.

angrybovine Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Joshua is a mime. His stress reaction is he'll put himself in an invisible box.
