Does anyone else find that Ernest is very slow to fill up his stores. I have hir d him for 7 days. Before by day 3 or day 4 his stores are filled and he is just doing maintenance.. lately the entire 7 days go by and he does not get to filling the stores.
He has a limit to what he can store. Use his products and he will go back to work!
Also, he will not work if you don't have enough Milk, Goat Milk or Sugarcane available. Something a lot of us will notice if you use a Ernest card without Rose on the job. They really compliment each other well.
Unless we are missing something you might need to give us more information on the problem, Paupito.
Also, you have to understand that he will fill whatever you use first. Say you use something that contains goat cheese then use 5 cream. Well, he will fill the goat cheese first which will slow everything down.
One thing I will do is if I see I'm really low on a quick product, like cream, I will start that manually myself. Ernest will collect and add to his stock and resume his usual task of more time consuming items.
There are ways of controlling his behavior if you just keep ur eye on him.
Urgh. He just sounds like more effort than he's worth!
I still have the free 7 day hire of both & now have a booster for Ernest. It appears you have to use the free trial first or you lose it if you use the booster first.
I'm a control freak stacker who plays the Derby solo...I think they're just going to make the farm a living nightmare. Can anyone (who is a stacker) convince me otherwise?

At my level and with their storage at 120, I really like to turn my farm over to them, now and then :D
I only let Ernie make sugars, cream, cheese, butter and I only let Rose do milk, and bacon and feeding the cows and pigs.
When they are done, I have what I need stockpiled for a few days after they are done.
It is nothing much, but a nice change up.

I can see how they'd work ok on a farm where you don't stack & don't play the Derby solo...
I really don't 'do' handing over control to anyone & I'm afraid Ernest & Rose aren't inspiring me to do so. Maybe if Ernest was a tall, dark, handsome bloke I'd feel more inclined...;)
Come on SmallChange, you don't find Ernest "hot"?
