Ape Apps

I started having this problem on March 3, 2018. Before this, all was fine, but on the 3rd I noticed that my Small Research buildings were not being supplied with workers. I started new colonies, even re-installed the app, but it's not working. I currently have 13 unemployed yet my Research building only has 1 worker and it's been 2 days since I created the Research building.

My stats are:
MyColony v.0.58.0
Win10

This creates major issues since without any research you cannot move the colony forward.

I am not sure as I am past this point, but it sounds like an education issue. Build education buildings so they can be smart enough for researching, and have some unemployed workers so they actually use the education buildings. Hope that helps.

I'm having this issue as well, fully staffed buildings with no one working.

As soon as I click view workers, all of a sudden everyone gets to work.

Fire drill doesn't fix, nor does changing the workload.

In addition, some buildings will fire/evict everybody if I click view all workers, like the investment bank or the arcology.

Edit: version 0.58.0 Android version 7.0

That would make sense if the Education Building was available in the beginning. However, I've only seen them much later on....AFTER doing much research. As it stands, with one Research Building and one employee, it will take a very long time before I can even do the research for the Advanced Hydroponics.

I see in the Release Notes where this change is mentioned. However, IF education is going to be a priority for research buildings, then the education building should be available early on. Otherwise, I'll have 50 unemployed people sitting around doing nothing but eating up resources and not being productive.

The internet relay booth educates citizens.

I'm having this issue too. I have to go to show workers to get production. Example: a building shows 2/38/40 then I hit show workers and it goes to 38/38/40. It's incredibly time consuming to go to every atmo converter and farm to get it back. I've been buying food and water for weeks now cuz I'm not producing. I also have 10% unemployment and the same for open jobs. This started happening after a fire drill

Android version 0.63.0

I think there is an issue with the population "Moving."
These members of the population are in lock step with the members that are "Protesting", but are clearly listed as "Moving."
I believe this is a bug, unless there is a silent Protest, that I don't know about.

I'm having this same issue. Google pixel 2, Android 9 beta 4. App version 0.67.2

I can add that some buildings are avoided by workers. They even prefer go jobless or find another job at the other side of the map. Even super close proximity to everything they can ever hope for and great wages are not enough to get them working here. They only fo if they have no other choice. Sometimes.
Also, those buildings seems to suffer from the already mentioned "I am looking who is working and everyone flies away" thingy. This even appear in the stats. Eveyone works and after checking some are jobless.

And the "workers not working until the boss checks why they are not" effect solves itself by a bit of patience. It usually lasts up to 15 min maximum. They go back to work by themselves sooner or later.

My colony will be ticking away happily at 98% approval with all jobs filled for hours, and then suddenly people will just suddenly start leaving their jobs. This quickly collapses into running out of food and water and everyone dying. I opened up the workers dialog for the first time after seeing this thread

Doesn't seem right.
