I certainly didnt intentionally set zones. If it helps; each of the staff were able to go into each of the training rooms. They definitely used the book shelf/spinner thing, the book bin (and I think the desk, but I cant actually remember that 3rd one for definite)
I started a new game and did not hit the bug
Approximately 2 hours in, you need to train an [explorer? curater?] to have the survival skill, to be able to continue to explore and expand the map.
There is a tutorial for building the training room - all good. (Needs 4 items in it iirc).
When I set my staff to train for survival, at first, there was absolutely no progress indicators. I fast forwarded for a while and saw no progress. After tinkering around, I built another staff room, in an attempt to get another member trained, no luck.
more notes:
- The flat training bar in the character ui (not the circular one) is generally not always on screen. I can't tell why. However, sometimes it goes down. It would fill to about 25%, and then eventually deplete. The UI was very off an on, but that square loading bar definitely has the capacity to empty.
- I watched a video, and I have definitely waited long enough. Must have left it for a good hour on triple speed with no meaningful progress (the first attempt the character seems stuck at 5%, the 2nd around 20%)
- The janitors seem to interupt a lot to fix the machines (or, the relevant staff member)
- In general, the UI elements related to character training seem to pop in an out.
I am soft locked :( Please fix! (Playing on PS5)
(not sure what build I am on, I downloaded on ps5 UK time approx 7pm)
