Latest Dev build 2513 (x64)
Problem:
Tried to mine out columns and the workers simply won’t mine out the area if there are contained ‘non-mine’ areas. I have tried this 2 ways, I have tried designing the area starting with the non-mined areas and the workers will not start mining at all. I also tried starting the workers mining with just basic tunnels and then adding to the area using the Mine Tunnel tool to contain non-mined areas (picture below) at which point the workers stop working on the zone entirely.
Expected result:
They mine out the area and leave the ‘columns’ in place.
They will however resume mining the area if you fill in the complete mining area.
To reproduce:
- Use the Mine Tunnel tool and draw out an area that contains non-mined areas
- Workers will not work on the zone.
- Sadness
- Use Mine Tunnel tool and fill in the zone
- Workers resume mining.
- Confusion.
I couldn’t find this topic and I feel like I have seen pictures of people making ‘throne rooms’ that contained columns so maybe this is a newly introduced bug?
