quadgamer Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 This game is fun. But not when they're just standing around like county workers. Is that a bug/glitch or part of part of their AI? Is there a way to get them motivated or moving? I tried the "move to" with no success. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjadziadax Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Suspect either you've not assigned them anything, they're restricted from doing available assignments (see their jobs menu top right of screen), or they can't physically get to the jobs available.

Tias Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Haven't seen this in any of the games I've done so far, furthest to cycle 115. Have you set up work for them that the ones who are idling are capable of? Have you changed anything in the work tab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinister_Fang Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I haven't really seen this happen personally. Well, I have seen it once or twice but that was because something like bad digging instructions from me, or sand falling down and getting in their way. Try looking around and making sure they have a clear path to whatever it is you want them to be doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PudgeBalloon Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Think we'll need details to help out with this one. Does it state that the dupes are idle on the left of the screen? Do the dupes have access to whatever they should be doing? A screen shot may help us see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quadgamer Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 Thanks for the replies. Yeah, it does say "idle", but there are no obstructions. And this has happened every time I try a new game. The last game I played just before posting, 4 of them were standing around for a whole cycle. I had lots of things set for them: digging, building, etc. They even ****e on themselves! I was like, "wtf?" because they had just been busy. I don't know what happened, they just stopped working. That's when I tried the "move to", which did nothing but show a red dot. After more than a cycle, 1 went back to work and a minute after 1 more followed. But the other 2 never did. Sorry, I deleted the save out of frustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HabdomeRaider Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 You can try clicking "Show Navigation". It sometimes will show you what the problem is. Sometimes there is a non-obvious obstacle preventing them from reaching what they're supposed to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
