I am running on IOS with version 84. My device is an iphone XR.
When I build cloning facilities, whenever new workers are hired to one of those cloning facilities, the automatically show up as offline, but when I go into building statistics and then press "show workers," they all show as on duty. Once I exit the status menu and reselect the same structure, it shows all workers on duty and working. This might be a problem with all employing structures, but I've only experimented with cloning facilities so far.
What's more is that the worker round on the cloaning facilities seems to vary from round to round, even with all 40 workers on duty. Sometimes it'll churn out 1 colonist in 2 seconds, and other times it takes 15-20 seconds to complete the round. I don't know what causes this, perhaps the display bar that displays how many workers or off or on duty isn't updating accurately.
the amount of time it takes to get new people is a game feature i think, it happens with everything else that gives new colonists
