Bugs from Alpha 4

[Phagocytosis]

Welcome from me as well!

This post contains some links to places where issues you described were already discussed, so that you may find more information and conversation about it, and there’s back and forth linking between those topics and this one.

Strange that you say that. Every forum I ever go to says ‘You should make multiple posts’ and then if you do, they call it spam. Or, they criticize you for not using the search function. Or they criticize you for not simply posting onto the end of a currently existing thread. But then they criticize you for doing so.

Well, it is encouraged to use the search function here as well to try and prevent too many duplicate threads, obviously. However, though I’ve failed to find an earlier topic on a given subject a few times, I wouldn’t say I was ever really criticized. They always just pointed it out to me, merged the topics in question, and more or less said that it was okay

As for separate threads for bug reports, that is also encouraged so as to make it easier to discuss the issues. With multiple bugs in one thread, it’s not only harder to retrieve the separate bugs using the search function, it also could mean many conversational threads in a single topic.

@Venrez

the Workers absolutely and utterly refuse to remove the ladders they placed in order to place the windows

I noticed this as well. Thanks for the reminder. I made this topic about the issue.

@Venrez

I placed beds too close together and some of them appeared in mid-air

That’s because of this issue; you shouldn’t need to place ladders in order to move them though. When this happens to me, my citizens can reach them just from the ground. Maybe that will help in future games.

@Venrez

whenever I accept ~ANY~ pop-up request, certain elements of the UI cease to function

That’s this issue; however, I’ve noticed it in particular when accepting joining citizens. So you’re saying it would happen also when you accept trade requests, for example? However, come to think of it, you always get a request to be given some food (usually) at the start, and I know that the freeze does not happen when you accept that.

@Venrez

Double-Stacking

Yes, that will still happen sometimes. In my latest game, it was cloth being placed repeatedly on top of jerky.

@Venrez

Picket Fences and Picket-Fence Gates are completely unusuable

They were purposefully disabled by the developers until they work out the issue with items near each other hovering, like with the beds you mentioned above.

@Venrez

Also, when placing items (like Lanterns or Tables) via the construction interface, those items will remain in the list as if waiting to be placed (from a stockpile) even if they are already placed in the world.

Indeed! I made a suggestion to change this here.

@Venrez

I hope there will be a way to ‘delete’ or change the ownership of items in the future.

I hope so too. The bed issue was brought up here.

@Venrez

Sometimes the “placement hologram” also remains forever and the object is simply not moved by anyone, even if there are numerous idle workers and nothing waiting to be done.

Was the order to move it to a place rather close by the original place of the item, perhaps?

@Venrez

When I cleared all of his hunting fields, EVERYONE then finally decided to go chop the trees down

Wow! That’s very interesting, I’ll have to try that when I have idling citizens next time.

@Venrez

I think Goblins need an adjustment

Yes, the current situation with the sudden attack waves was very much unintended.
