Which may look like ignoring dirt they've gone by because they have a closer dirty tile in a different direction. Once they're done with their current circle, they choose a new nearest dirty tile.

They're a bit stupid while cleaning that radius, sometimes apparently alternating from one side of the circle to the other. Rather, they select the nearest dirty tile, and then clean everything in a small radius of that.

The Common Sense mod helps with some of that, but hardly all. What you really want is for colonists to clean as they go about doing other things, provided the cleaning involves little or no deviation from their planned path. It's true that long walking distances is a major reason why dedicated cleaners aren't very effective. Enough art can drown out the mood negatives from dirt. The Common Sense mod helps a lot with the kitchen, because it encourages the cook to clean before cooking. I will say the kitchen stayed consistently clean, at least. Cleaning never got completed regardless, there was always more to clean. On the cleaning side, I had a day janitor, a night janitor, and a 2-hour window (via Fluffy’s Work Tab) when everyone cleaned. My filth-producing animals still wandered through town a little, but mostly they stayed outside. Zoning DOES largely eliminate that problem. Most animals produce filth, meaning they poo on your floors. Blood from wounded colonists is unavoidable. Restricting animal traffic via zones cut down on the amount of animal-created dirt, but hardly all.Ĭolonists produce trash as they walk, but dirt, not trash, is usually the big problem. In practice, my colonists have lots of dirt-related tasks. Ideally you want to set it up so animals stay on dirt, and colonists stay on flooring, and dirt never moves in. Both colonists and animals pick up dirt when they walk on dirt, and track it into the colony when they walk on flooring. Mostly the problem is in dirt sources, not cleaning. I never achieved what I felt was a satisfactory answer. I just finished my first game, and I struggled with cleaning the entire game. To many times they would clean the kitchen a bit to late unless i force the cleans.Ĭaused alot of my guys to get food poisoning The vanilla game just isnt very good for cleaning it seems so im using a priority mod. assign another pawn to clean and use a slightly different work schedule. TBH, if one pawn can't keep up with cleaning then it's a no-brainer solution. It can be very satisfying to see someone clean a few tiles when their cleaning priority is set to #3, this means their more important jobs are being accomplished and there is nothing left to do but to clean, even for just a moment. growing) and do "spot cleaning" at their location.

If any pawn is good at their job, then they will complete their main job quickly (i.e. I have 3 pawns dedicated to cleaning (#1 priority), however two of them have other jobs at #1 and everyone has a cleaning priority ranging from #2 and #3. The Hunter job (hunter/cleaner) is almost the same way, I only hunt maybe once or twice a week. At 0600 the animals awake and the handler is off training the animals until 1800 hours (6 pm). If you change the work schedule for the Handler so that he wakes up at 0200 (2 am) with only two priorities set to #1 (handle and clean), then the pawn will clean for 4 game hours because the animals are sleeping. Handler or Hunter, but really any job combo can work. There are two jobs that can work well in combo with cleaning. Works well if you zone that pawn to a specific area. If you have a cook/cleaner where cleaning is #1 and cooking is #2, then the pawn will clean first then cook. Just a few pawns working another shift reduces the amount of mess created by everyone and small messes are cleaned quickly.Ģ. I play vanilla for years and don't have as many problems as others with cleaning. My freezer isn't attached to the kitchen, the freezer is across the hall from my little 3x4 kitchen (I have 11 colonists). Sounds like your kitchen has more than one door, yes? This means you'll get "unauthorized" foot traffic through your kitchen creating a mess. Is there a way to prioritize certain areas? because my kitchen becomes a mess until I manually have people clean it Originally posted by My Killer Shack:I am at 8 people and one person doesnt seem to be able to keep up with cleaning.
