Dupes get stuck at washing hands


Recommended Posts

I've seen this type of setup used by others a lot:

Where a weight plate and checkpoint ensure dupes all wash their hands at one hand washing station.  It mostly works until somebody drops something on the weight plate 30kg+ and then it silently traps your duplicants until their death (or you eventually wonder where your dupes are)

 

I can think of a few ways to occasionally release people from this trap, e.g. buffer or time of day sensor.  But I'm curious what you guys use. 

My suggestion would be to measure the time it takes dupes to wash their hands, add a second or 2, and have the pressure plate reset if activated longer than that. Possibly with some kind of warning light going off to indicate there is a problem you need to look into.

By the screenshot I don't know how the first dupe may have gotten stuck but after that dupe died his dead body on the pressure plate probably didn't help :D

honestly not sure, I had the game running for a while, wasn't paying attention to them and then noticed a bunch dead.  Though it's not terribly important, they often drop some igneous rock or whatever on the weight plate if they happen to be carrying right before bed and then somebody gets stuck.
