A small, but mindbiting issue, maybe help?

Greetings fellow Planzooians.

Since some time i have an issue with a message that is popping up every
few seconds.
Its a short "ping" i see it for half a second and its gone again.
I can't click it, i can't do freaking nothing with it and i have no idea whats causing it.
And... its... driving... me... nuts :)

If would rrreally appreciate if someone could point out whats the matter about it.
I finally made it to catch it on a screenshot, that wink of an eye its appearant.
The thingy with the red arrow.
I am thankful for any idea how to solve it.
There are no issues with my staff i can figure out, they have workingzones, a good pathsystem
and plenty of resting room spread out over the zoo.

Don't mind the red paw, its just Fernando, a Galapagos Giant Tortoise that realized too late that its hungry.
Its on the way to its filled feeder, all is fine about him.

I had this last night, and it was a staff member who couldn't find a staff room (because she was upside down under the ground, but that's neither here nor there). I found her by opening my staff list and looking for a red flashing dot, it appears next to their name on a slow flash. Once you know who it is, you can find them and see what's wrong.
 
Thank you for the hint!

I was guessing someone is stucked, now i know its the case at least.
I have, vendors included, 120+ employees gulp.
Coudln't see a red dot on the first glance, so i have to check them manually i guess :eek:

But anyway, thanks alot.
 
After a long and hard selection and randomly firing several vendors, i somehow found the bugged out one.
It stopped when he left the zoo.

I will be hounted a while by this pling-sound in my dreams, but it was totall worth it.

I have this problem, I can’t get them to move or leave the zoo though so I have a permanent pop up saying they can’t leave. What can I do?
 
Delete the path they are on they should disappear.

they’re not on a path, they’re miles away from any building, right at the back of the zoo lot, I tried putting a path where they are and moving them and deleting the path but nothing I’ve done works. They just stay where they are.
 
Google translator:
Hello, put the employee on a path and then restart the game, and put the employee again. Then the employee can actually move. At least that worked for me.

Original:

Hallo, versetze den Mitarbeiter auf einen Weg und dann starte das Spiel neu, und versetze den Mitarbeiter erneut.
Dann lässt sich der Mitarbeiter tatsächlich auch versetzen.

Zumindest bei mir hatte das funktioniert.
 
Yes, this happens mainly with vendors when they leave / enter their stores. They happen to be stuck randomly in their shop or corner of the shop, and then they will be teleported somewhere on the map, in enclosures or even somewhere underground.

Two tips to deal with this bug until it's hopefully fixed:
  • Press the pause button (or the key "P") as soon as the message is displayed, so that the message stays there and you can find the employee who is stuck. The message usually pops up twice, so when you see the first one, be ready to hit the button.
  • Click on the employee and change the assigned Work Zone to "No Work Zone". - The employee will be teleported back to his workspace and you can reassign the Work Zone again.
And yes, this bug is reported on the Issue Tracker. ;)
