I’ve seen the same be behavior in the context of [[Bug] Heartlings stuck on battlements-style roofs](https://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/bug-heartlings-stuck-on-battlements-style-roofs/28143/1).

There they will drop the items on the roof, after getting stuck there.

Generally I agree here; Hearthlings are way too quick to abandon a job, and leave materials cluttering the landscape, especiallly once the town becomes large or includes far-out parts (e.g. mines in the mountains).
