The toilet is flushed and they immediately leave the bathroom. Employees and customers alike. May disgusting shit I’ve ever seen.

Normally play on Xbox, so it doesn't run so well. One strat I like to do is to make a ton of fields, unassign them and then reap them when there's a huge field of crops. I also like to turn specialists into settlers that create scavenger outposts at gun factories and the like. Sells for quite a lot. Usually materials are always a problem and I never have more than 500, but I tried the production ideology and got 2,000. It was magical. Anyway, hope that helps!
