MF99K Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I just started playing Oxygen Not Included today and I can't get any research progress because none of my duplicants seem interested in collecting the water needed even if there is a water source next to the research lab/computer. Does anyone have any suggestions or might know what I'm doing wrong (the wires are connected so it has electricity, the game just tells me it needs water) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/80424-duplicants-dont-seem-to-want-to-collect-water/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasuha Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Make sure all your duplicants are not busy with higher priority tasks (priority overlay). Similar situation is likely to happen if you are used to giving all your commands high priority and forget to set appropriate priority for the research machine. If that doesn't help, consider uploading your save here so we can take a look.

MF99K Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 I didn't do much different but they seem to be collecting water now fine but now they refuse to sweep XD. how do I prioritize that cause I can't seem to figure out how to get the prioritize tool to work Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/80424-duplicants-dont-seem-to-want-to-collect-water/#findComment-937361 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasuha Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 To prioritize sweeps, select the sweep tool, then select the priority in the menu at the bottom right of the screen. Things you'll mark for sweeping will then get that priority.

azmod2000 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Do you have non-full storage containers set for the materials being swept?

CobraA1 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Make sure you have enough storage available for what's being swept. Also make sure there is a clear path to what's being swept as well.

MF99K Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 I think I figured it out, hadn't set up storage properly.
