While Schedule 1 is generally functioning well in early access, some players have experienced issues with the botanist character.
Although the employee performs tasks as expected, reports indicate that some players encounter bugs where the botanist appears stuck in an endless cycle of regrowing plants. Fortunately, the gaming community has identified a simple workaround for this issue.
How to Fix Botanist Bugs in Schedule 1
I discovered the solution through a discussion on the game’s Steam forum after encountering the bug myself. It’s relatively easy to spot: your botanist will continually cut flowers and attempt to regrow them without putting the harvested items on the packing table.
To resolve this issue, assign a second employee to pack flowers from the shelves and transport them to the packing table. This simple strategy will prevent your botanist from getting stuck in the regrowing loop, enhancing productivity during your shifts.
Another common issue is that botanists may stand idle without completing tasks. This often occurs if they are already assigned to a property. If a property changes, it may be necessary to dismiss the botanist to reassign them. Currently, there’s no straightforward way to reassign them without firing, but an update may address this in the future.
Reloading your game save can also remedy any problems with workers not performing tasks, including the botanist. Although you might lose some in-game progress, this remains the best temporary fix in Schedule 1. As regular updates are implemented, these bugs should diminish significantly.
