[BUG] Workmen don't ever take a break ("Staff Needs" ist active)

[fux21]

Hello there,

this is a very old bug I think, I hoped it would be fixed in an update but it never did.

I play vanilla, no DLC, and my workmen never ever take a break, so they are constantly mourning about full bladder and bowels.

All the other staff members go on breaks sometimes. I have a staff canteen and toilets, I have even toilets in the deliveries area. But the workmen are too tough to go on a break still. ;-)

Would be nice if someone could look into this.

Thanks in advance.

Greetings

Could you please try raising the percentage of staff on break to see if they go on break? Default is 10%, so raise to 50% just to see.

Thank you for your suggestion, I tried it, even up to 50 % - still none of my workmen ist going to rest.

Interesting, loaded up your save, put breaks up to 100%. They are all taking breaks, but they appear to be getting confused by the staff toilets in other locations (they wander all over to use the toilet) and then they often go to deliveries to get a snack instead of getting food in the staffroom. I have noticed if there's a snack machine for staff then they'll only eat from there at the moment instead of eating a real meal.

I'd try eliminating all items for staff needs outside of the staff room and that should help them. (I'm reporting the snack machine thing).

Now it works, thank you very much, and thank you for the reporting on the snack machine thing!
