Mechanics does not repair vandalized objects
- Thread starter McBerns
- Start date
The scenario i'm playing is Yamaguchi Prefecture Tranquility Zoo, where everything in the zoo is broken as hell, and you have to fix everything with a limited budget. Yes I can do that manually, but there may be more laying around that I haven't noticed at all and it be frustrating to try and find every last one. That's up to the mechanic's job to do that, but he isn't bloody doing anything.
The mechanics DO have "Vandalisms" task under their tasks so to me it seems like they should repair vandalized objects but they don't. It's a pain to go around replacing objects when that clearly is something that mechanics should do. It's not a big thing to lift that trash bin back up but no one does and you have to buy a new one because someone tipped it over?!
They really should fix this. It's annoying when the Guests are complaining about to many destroyed Objects all the time. Also they should change something about the Trash because I can have Trashcans every 5 meters and still is someone able to just throw it on the floor
Same is happening with me in my franchise zoo.
I literally hired a mechanic and set his tasks to "Vandalisms" ONLY. I will watch him as he walks right by items that need to be fixed. I even physically picked him up and moved him directly next to the vandalized bench and he just kept walking again.
The feature is definitely there for them to handle it, so it's bugged unfortunately.

My mechanics never fix any vandalized objects in my franchise zoo either (I checked their stats to make sure - 0 vandalized objects fixed for every single one) and it is making me want to pull my hair out in frustration. Every few minutes i have to manually search my zoo to find the (dozens) of broken things that the guests are complaining about and fix them. Guest happiness is high, but the vandalism never ends. I really hope they fix this in the next update. I'm spending a fortune on education boards and speakers.
The mechanic itsself is not that bad, the huge problem is really that it is not working at all.
Specially the destroyed TVs are crap because that lowers the education level.
I found a mechanic stuck next to a broken info screen last night. I don't know if he was TRYING to repair it or what but he was stuck there not doing anything until his energy dropped and then he wanted to go to a staff room but couldn't because he was stuck. Once I moved him manually he left.
Anyway long story short, I wonder if he was attempting to fix the vandalized screen but doing so bugged him out?

Maybe, its a training issue ? Maybe they have to be a set level to repair electronics... although they repair solar panels fine .. so maybe not rofl.
I noticed some other elements noted in the game to work a certain way but doesn't. Maybe something they didn't get around to implementing yet and will arrive in a later update.

Tried something out just now as I am on that same scenario and trying to work out the best starting process to do ...
But I set a mechanic to only handle vandalisms and he ran off and fixed a bench .... then started idling and didn't fix the bench next to the one he just fixed.
So far, from game play I have noticed the following priority system for the mechanics ( assuming all items ticked ).
Repair Habitat Barriers
Repair Facilities
Will use the scenario to set up a work group with just one of each type of repairable item and see which order he does it in.
So, it looks like the vandalism element is bugged somewhere if it works once, but will check that again as well

Another example of the mechanic fixing vandalised items. I zoomed over here from a complaint on vandalised items and saw this man busy working away .. notice the one in the distance ? He fixed that too, as I was sent there via another person to find it upright again.
These mechanics aren't prioritised or in work zones. And this is one of my franchise zoos.
