I want to order NPCs to study while I go on a trip with a tiny vehicle. After I set them to study from a book I gave them earlier and move ~40 tiles away from them, they all finish their task immidiately.
NPCs canât actively do anything outside the reality bubble, so they can only read books when you are nearby. Either have them study while you are resting at your base, or make a bigger vehicle with room for the NPCs, they will study in the car while you go raiding as long as you donât go too far away or change z-levels.
Canât they âcatch upâ when they reenter the reality bubble, such as solar car chargers seem to do?
EDIT: by âsolar car chargersâ I mean the recharging of storage batteries via panels.
Technically right, but effectively wrong. They can do it, just retroactively (when they return to RB, game calculates what their activity progress shouldâve been and applies it).
NPCs stopping their reading when they leave RB is a bug which had been fixed two days ago - or, in other words, in build 11351.

Excellent, I will update right away!
Iâm glad that this got changed. I used to have a large multi z-level base and it was a nightmare to manage NPC reading sessions.
