Achieving success in Hyland Point often leads players to seek larger farms and kitchens to boost production capabilities. However, in order to do this effectively, you require a capable workforce. If you’re facing the frustrating issue of the broken worker bug in Schedule 1, this guide is here to help you troubleshoot and restore productivity.
As Schedule 1 is currently in the early access phase, players may encounter various minor bugs. One particularly troublesome issue is the broken worker bug, which can severely hinder your meticulously crafted production line.
Understanding the Schedule 1 Broken Workers Bug
Hiring workers in Schedule 1 is a costly endeavor, with salaries ranging from $1,600 upon hiring and daily wages between $100 and $300 based on their skill levels. Seeing your investment go to waste due to workers being rendered inactive by this bug can be particularly disheartening.
The reasons for the occurrence of this bug can vary. Frequently, workers become stuck due to physical obstructions impeding their path to resources. However, there are also instances where paths are clear and resources are plentiful, yet workers remain idle. This typically indicates a coding issue that is anticipated to be addressed in future updates. Until then, you can try the following strategies to mitigate the broken worker bug.
Restart the Worker
For a more hands-on approach, you may choose to employ a rather unconventional method: using a frying pan or a baseball bat to ‘reset’ the worker. Upon ‘reviving’ them, there’s a chance the bug may resolve itself and normal operations will resume.
Relaunch the Game
A simpler yet effective solution for reactivating your workers is to restart the game entirely. If you notice workers idly collecting wages, save your current progress and relaunch Schedule 1. This method tends to provide a temporary fix for the issue.
Remove Obstacles
In cases where workers are caught in an endless loop, it is essential to inspect the environment for any obstacles hindering task completion. Manually completing tasks for your workers can help break their cycle and restore productivity.
