Why they keep idle?

To pass through the checkpoints, your dubs must be wearing exosuit. But your exosuit station is not ready.

 

I arrange exosuit checkpoint and station in this way

Outdoors, Checkpoint (arrow:←), Station, Base

I assigned 3 seasoned miners to the suit after the suit is finished, and my engineer keeps idle there. IDK why.

also. if they just waiting for suit, they could just go do something else, not just stand there and do absolute nothing? 

I load your save, and Rowan is not idle anymore. So I can only make some guesses.

 

Usually, a duplicate will be idle in two situation.

1. No work to do.

2. Unable to go to the working place.

 

In the first pic, Stinky can't pass through the checkpoint, so he is idle because of the second reason. In the second pic, I guess it's the first reason.

 

 

In addition, you use the checkpoints in a inefficiency way.

One checkpoint can check every dup who wants to pass through the checkpoint. A dup will wear the exosuit when he passes through the station and the exosuit is ready.

So one checkpoint is enough for more than one stations.

could you check the video? I got some on there too. 

also, is it normal to be freeze and crash when you try to open job table? ( with larger amount of dubs )

Exosuit station needs time to be fully charged. See the oxygen charge gauge, it's empty. It means the exosuit only has little oxygen.

When the duplicate wear the exosuit, the suit runs out of oxygen at once, then the dup takes the exosuit off. But because dup has taken the exosuit off, he can't pass through the checkpoint. So the dup tries to wear the suit again.

I don't think it's normal.

Build more stations. So when a station is empty, the duplicate can choose another station.

And wait. Wait until the station is fully charged.

 

You can build station and checkpoint in this way

Outdoors, Checkpoint (arrow:←), Station, Station, Station, Station, ... ,Station, Base

how do you make dubs auto wear exo suit?

You only need 1 checkpoint, as long as it is connected to a dock it works fine :) I have 8 docks and 1 checkpoint haha

This...

Using more than 1 checkpoint is a waste of metal and could also create anomalies with dupes like the ones you're having.

A dup will wear the exosuit when he passes through the station and the exosuit is ready.

So just put the dock on the route of dups.

In this arrangement 【Outdoors, Checkpoint (arrow:←), Dock, Dock, Dock, Dock, ... ,Dock, Base】 When dups want to go to outdoors ,they will pass through docks. If the exosuit is not ready, dups can't pass through checkpoint, they will go back to base.
