doesnt block the doorways as sometimes a citizen can get stuck inside the house and cant get out because of the scaffolding.

Title: hovering table Summary: I placed two tables next to each other – I thought they had no overlap, but I may have been mistaken – and the second one to be placed hovered in the air slightly above ground level (Fig. 1). This may be the “Gravity without physics” bug alluded to in the dev blog, in which case this would not be anything new, but it might still be good to have a thread for it as a place of discussion, or something.

Title: Builders idle with wood available outside stockpile Summary: Most of my citizens were building two houses, when at some point they just stopped and started idling on the worksite (Fig. 1). You can see that there is no wood in my stockpile(s), but wood is lying about outside it (Fig. 2). Not sure if relevant, but I also had the citizens collect berries from all over the map, most of which were still lying around in baskets where they had been picked from the bushes.
