Crafting station usage
Marvin Kosh:
It seems that for whatever reason, employee Sims on business lots try to use the closest unmanned crafting station when coming back from their break, rather than their previous station or the closest station which isn't blocked by an APO panel. If they fail to get to the closest unmanned crafting station, their assignment gets canceled.
Is there any way to mod this behaviour so that if they can't route to the closest unmanned crafting station, they will try routing to another one?
J. M. Pescado:
Yes, but since it defies the imagination as to why you would do a dumbass thing like that, it is not going to be something I am going to crack open the TS2 tools to fix.
Marvin Kosh:
Dumbassery it may be to have your employees working on different things, it isn't as profitable, but a business that only sells one thing is bloody boring.
Without locking employees out of certain crafting rooms they would happily scrap anything on the closest crafting station unless it matches what they were working on. Even if they could complete the thing on the table, they will scrap it and start over if it isn't what they were told to do. That's the reason I'm using the APO panels. But as I said, that means assignments get dropped.
If it can be done then I'll keep trying to figure out how chances are someone already did the same thing. D'oh.
Jorenne:
I'm pretty sure someone did, either Paladin or JFade, I can't recall. Use your google-fu.

Yeah, well, you know sims absolutely detest it when you block things they need to use. So you decide whether you'd rather they drop assignments, or scrap things. Since you're obviously not terribly concerned with an efficient business, let 'em scrap it, then.
