The quick answer

The base reference links sustained work, SAN, resting and illness. Low SAN can lead to slacking or health problems, while illness can reduce work output. Check the affected Pal’s condition before treating an idle facility as a pathfinding bug.[1]

Understand the distinction

Food, rest access, suitable facilities and treatment form a maintenance task alongside production. This checklist avoids claiming that one food or building is best for every base and difficulty setting.[1]

Suggested checklist

  1. Inspect the individual Pal’s condition and work assignment.[1]
  2. Check access to food and resting structures, including whether the route is blocked.[1]
  3. Read the treatment or medicine requirement for a reported illness before replacing the Pal.[1]

Limits and next steps

Exact thresholds and work limits vary with updates and world settings; they are not specified here.[1]
