I seem to be the only one with this issue, so I'm not sure if I'm just missing something or if this is a new issue that just recently cropped up or what, but I can't get anyone to farm for me. At all. I've labeled a spot both within and without base territory to use as farm land, I have 50 unpacked potato seeds, a packet of potato seeds, a trowel, and an NPC with level 1 farming. I have told him to farm multiple times and he confirms he'll do it, but he hasn't made any moves towards it for 3 days. I've tried putting the trowel in my hands to "swap weapons" but the option isn't there, I've tried leaving the items in the base on the floor, I've tried putting them in various containers in the base, I've left them on the farmland floor, and he has done nothing. In a previous attempt, the farmer on that file also did nothing and I had to start the farm myself out of frustration on waiting for him to do it.

On a slightly related note (and small rant), I had to save one of my survivors from an inept doctor because he kept bandaging her hand with broken glass still inside it. Honestly, I wanted this mod to help alleviate having to do everything else on my own, not add "babysitting" on top of my already massive "To-Do" list. Please tell me they aren't just "cannon-fodder" bodyguards that I've been collecting, because honestly, I'd be better off on my own since my last attempt got cut short because one of our people started gunning down zombies near our base, luring in a massive horde that wiped us out.
