I know bugs before have been reported about the pathfinding, but I couldn’t find on specific thread, so I thought I’d start this. Found that in many cases, Hearthlings will find their way to something, but can’t find their way back.

I can also confirm this, I may have gone to far in a world (started at one end and ended up expanding the entire world) But they won’t find there way back unless you place a flag telling them to return after a certain radius. Not sure if it’s due to the flag and them going to far away from it. They also won’t find or see anything after a certain radius either, Like I had chopped tree’s half way on the map, The hearthlings wouldn’t even notice it.

Thanks for reporting this, Glad I’m not the only one who noticed it 😉

Use the Looting tool to collect things far away that the AI would normally consider out of their radius. I find it works pretty well to them specifically what to pick up.

Originally I had one at the other end of the trench. But they’d just stand in the trench with no idea what to do.
