I can’t test this right now, so I can’t say this for sure, but it appears to me that the Hearthlings might not have enough room to place the upper half of the walls. If you dig up 2 or 3 blocks, that should hopefully work. (By digging up, I mean digging down from the surface to a point where the pit merges with your tunnel, because Hearthlings can’t move up :stuck_out_tongue: My point is that you need more space.)

Yeah you cannot build walls which are as high as the tunnel walls but you can cheat with console and the instant build command.

@Sweet
will you guys(girls :slight_smile: ) change this with the new building tool?

If they can mine 4 blocks tall with no climbing/scaffolding then why not build 4 blocks tall with no climbing/scaffolding? guess i have to do it some other way then.

It could also be that they don’t reach the 3 corners which are “locked” behind surrounding blocks.
Not sure though; I’ve never tried to build something with walls that are directly surrounded by other walls.

I tried to build the corners first but same thing.

Yes, Chris says there will be a fix! :blush:
