Educator confusion

Nat1984 · Dec 8, 2020

Is anyone else having problems with this? I have 3 education talks set up and 2 educators assigned to the work zone. But they aren’t turning up. They just sit in the staff room or walk around and miss their talks. I’ve got several staff rooms assigned to the work zone, all close to the talk areas.
Also, I can’t click individually on the educators. Well I can click on them, but their panel doesn’t appear with their info.

Really confused.

My only issue is i keep getting a constant message that my educators have to walk too far , Lazy devils they don't have far to walk at all and i wish i could turn off that message

I'm having this issue too. I'm also getting a "facility inaccessible" notification on and off for my animal talk stations, but they're on a 10m path by themselves with nothing to block.

That's a problem I have, too, for one of the stations. I have tried moving things around a bit to find out what is causing the issue, but as far as I can tell the issue is a faulty message and only a faulty message. Every time the educator gets to that station the message appears that the station is inaccessible, yet the educator seems to not have noticed that and just gives his talk for the attending visitors.

Same here. It seems that the educators get stuck in the staff room, as they're constantly idling in there. They also think they can't reach their work zone, because they can't move. I sent my save file to frontier. Hoping they can find what's causing the issue

My educators won't do anything too, the visitors also won't come up to the stand. I even made a massive plaza right next to the habitat to make sure there is a lot of space, I assigned work spaces etc etc

Could it be that it has something to do with the Zoo Size? I've started a completely new Zoo yesterday and I didn't have any Problems so far

My zoo is completely new too, only one habitat and maybe like 5 exhibits

I was having this problem with my animals the other day but it went away when I closed out of PZ and opened it again.

As for educator problems I have only experimented a little, I get the notification that they are walking too far, but it didn't seem to stop their presentation. A little wonky but it seems like they're functioning at least for now.

The only real issue I consistently have is the error message that the stand is inaccessible. I get it every time they start preparing, but otherwise it all progresses and works as normal.

That lazy Human thinks it's too far to the Seal Enclosure

It seems like he didn't miss a single Wolf Talk, so I thought he could educate People about my Seals just for him to not show up. That Enclosure is only approximately 50-100m further away than the Wolf Enclosure. That Guy either needs a Bicycle or less Money

I have the same problem and can't complete the timed scenario because of it -.-

When I first hire them it's fine, they go to their talking point and do their job, but as soon as they enter the staff room they get stuck in there and won't come out unless I fire them. Rehiring once they leave the staff room doesn't work either, they turn around and go back in there the second you click that button. Really hope they fix this soon 'cause educators are basically unusable for me right now

Mine have started giving me the message its inaccesible despite them being stood at it doing their talks . Slightly frustrating as well if i put the barrier up high enough to stop some animals escaping ( IE Gorillas) i then get the message the educator cannot throw food into the enclosure

Sclurp · Dec 17, 2020

Since the patch, I'm getting the same thing. Endless messages about the facility being inaccessible. The talks still happen though as far as I can tell (haven't inspected every talk point)

Can anyone add the talk points to existing work zones? I can't and I really don't want to redo all these zones.

Just tested it. It works for me. Maybe you should let Steam scan the Game Files for Errors and if this doesn't help, write a Issue Tracker Report

The only problem I'm currently having is a message on the podium saying "food throw path blocked" or something like that. I'm not exactly sure what that means - it's next to a low fence and there's nothing in the way. I figure it must be because the path its on is raised up above the habitat a little bit but I'm not sure. Messed around with some of the rockwork to see if I could get it working but to no avail.

Could you send a Screenshot? Maybe this would help to find out what's the Problem
