4 cleaners 1 trashcan

[delete account]

I was following a group of cleaners that seems like going all in the same direction.
Turns out 4 cleaners where assigned to clean 1 trashcan, the moment the first cleaner got there and emptied the trashcan the remaining 3 cleaners turned around en went to other assignments...
Kinda waste of time

This is, why assigning work areas is a good idea.

(Personally, I haven’t yet done this for keepers, as my zoos are a bit on the small side so far. So this suggestion is based on general game knowledge, not personal experience.)

The title sounds like a movie title or a start of a joke

Strange, but interesting and something to look out for.. I wonder if this happens to more types of staff?

Dont think work areas would make a difference (heavily depends on how you set up workzones).
If they are all part of the same work zone, this still could happen?

Also you can not assign the Caretakers per Trashcan, so it would be hard to set up correct Work zones for cleaning I think.

My thinking was more in the line of: "If the workzones are small enough for one keeper to handel it, there can't be multiple ones assigned to a trashcan."
However, that was too much micro for me up to now.

Well. it's certainly interesting for the bigger picture.

How much micromanagement will this game accept?

Workzones doesn't really seem to work that well for caretakers. I have 8 caretakers in my zoo, all of them exept one have different workzones that don't overlap and even thou they do their job almost perfectly (There is hardly ever any litter in the zoo and the trashcans only get full when I place a bunch of animals in habitats as they are busy with that then) I still see them do work in other workzones than their own
