The short version
Observe the exact pause, widen the approach and simplify one route at a time; most pathing problems are layout problems, not worker quality problems.
Before you begin
✓One full work cycle observed
✓Clear station front
✓Wide straight stairs
✓Enough ceiling height
✓Nearby food
✓Nearby storage
Find the first failed movement
- Watch from the worker spawn point to the station instead of only checking the final error.
- Note turns, doorway edges and item piles where movement changes.
- Move one obstruction at a time so the successful fix is obvious.
Give stations a clean approach
- Keep the working face of each solid station open.
- Allow a full foundation of straight approach before stairs and avoid immediate ninety-degree turns.
- Use taller floors around large workers and machinery.
Shorten repeated routes
- Place food and output storage inside the production cluster.
- Move manual benches away from the high-traffic center.
- If a worker crosses the base after every action, relocate the destination before adding more transporters.
