What changed for players
Check the assignment and access side of the device as well as employment status; a worker issue can outlive a blocked vehicle problem.
- Patrol Vehicle Stuck or MissingOFFICIALLY FIXED in the current issue database. The #13 near-garage workaround was limited in scope. Neither it nor the newer failsafe guarantees recovery of every previously affected save.
- Worker Stuck or Not WorkingOFFICIALLY FIXED in the current issue database. No source proves every idle employee is bugged, or that one staffing layout is universally optimal. Avoid deleting the room or employee without a backup and a specific reason.
- Officer StuckOFFICIALLY FIXED in the current issue database. Officer movement problems are not interchangeable with a dispatch that exists without officers. See the dispatch-map issue for that unresolved older-save boundary.
