Summary: I have a hearthling that is floating in the air after I had my workers start digging through the ground. It wasn’t one of the diggers though; I think this one was just picking up the stone and whatnot that was produced by the digging, but now she’s just floating there.
Steps to Reproduce: I’m really not sure if this can be reliably reproduced. It seems like a rare occurrence that wouldn’t really happen if you were trying to make it happen. But anyways, what I did exactly was mine straight down in a 8x8x20 (LxWxH) tunnel. Then I proceeded to have my workers carve out some stairs for a simple way to get out. (I would have left a ladder, but I noticed that if a hearthling gets hungry, they’ll usually drop whatever they’re carrying in order to go collect food. And if they drop it on the ladder, I can’t get anybody to go and pick it back up. Sadly though I have no screenshot of this.)
Expected Results: Honestly I just didn’t expect anybody to be floating.
Actual Results: Well…someone is…
Notes: I managed to get her to come down by building a ladder directly underneath her. Luckily she didn’t starve while floating.
Versions and Mods: I’m not sure exactly what version I have…I just know it says R393 (x64) up in the corner; I’m assuming that’s what you need to know. And I have absolutely no mods downloaded.

Nah they were just floating in midair. I was able to get a ladder built directly underneath them (though I’m not sure how that worked, as it wasn’t attached to any wall).
Also, with regards to the “they won’t pick an item up if it’s on the ladder” - a simple workaround is to delete, then re-build, the ladder. The item falls to the ground where it will be picked up.
I’m having the same problem with these flying heartlings. It does seem to happen when someone else mine below them. I was able to save a few of them by calling them to arms, but this one didn’t seem to want to move from there, so I had to build a ladder directly to her.
It happens to me sometimes. To solve that I added floor just below them.
You have to figure out the exact level where the hearthling is stuck and then add the floor to this level in order to allow him to move again.
(The floor can be destroy next with the console and the command “destroy” after selected it)
Hello there, I lately tried to let my citizens dig a staircase. I had a existing cave down and on the last blocks one worker removed all blocks below the other citizens. Except one in the corner leaving the “Mine Block” mining area active.
I can remove the mining area but the citizens are not falling down.
I would upload a picture but it is currently not allowed.
