Anyone else having issues with outside teachers in the third level? I've had one time where they wouldn't show up and the training room kept being locked, couldn't cancel the training either. I tried deleting the room that didn't work either at first, I eventually managed to semi-delete it but that resulted in all characters walking on the spot. So had to restart that level.

I'm playing the Pebberley DLC and it seems that my janitors are not really doing what they are supposed to? I've trained them and have about 12 of them yet I keep having exploding machines because they are too slow to repair and floors full of sick. I checked the jobs they are allowed to do and even set some of them to do only repairs and not cleaning toilets/watering planets/restocking vending machines etc.

the pathfinding on janitors can be a bit weird, and if your hospital is too large the janitors will spend a lot of time walking from task to task. it is always worth it to put the speed boost on janitors

Motivated stacks with the other trained boost AFAIK too so janitors should all have motivated if you can get it, that and energy drinks/coffee everywhere.

Thanks for the tips!

Played a bit so far and I'm enjoying it. It's mostly more of the same but that is fine by me.

Blueprints for rooms are in from the start which is a nice QOL feature.

What I do miss is the ability to have an overview for the assigned tasks for your staff in one view.
At the moment if you want to check or change their assigned jobs you need to pull them up individually whereas in the previous game you could get an overview of everyone at once which was much more convenient. So hopefully they patch that in :)

I didn't really know how the pathfinding worked, so interesting to read that here. Time to make some adjustments to my campus :)
