So i was moving some lumber around… And the dear hearthlings kept dropping their move/place order just before they reach the destination.
This often (not in the examplescreenshot though) resulted in soooo many logpiles with logpiles on top of them and because the hearthlings cant reach the items, when they “land” on top of a logpile (wich is so unlogical when looking at the model) i have to use the teleportcheat.
I have noticed this behavior all over the game, in mining they usual stop just at the second last block that needs to be mined and then another hearthling (sometimes far away) comes and mines that last block…
What is this all about? Is there a reason for this idiotic behavior?
Second this, and especially “group mining” sometimes being two people waiting for a third one to run half a mile and mine the last block before they continue
When you say it like that, i dont know if it will clasify as a bug? Well in my end it is certainly a behavior that brakes the game…
Make a ton of woodpiles (just like in the screenshot) and order them to be placed (just like in the screenshot) and then watch what happens? Maybe there is some other factor that has an effect? (The fact that hearthlings drop anything they carry just before they reach their destination, or change priorities? eating? talking? whatever they find more important?)
Sure i can upload a savegame, but at what point do you need it saved? When the items are stuck un top of the logpiles? Or “just before” they might drop the stuff on top?
Looked at this. While unfortunate, I’m afraid it’s expected behavior. As the piles are placed, some of the ghost will no longer be reachable because they are blocked by newly placed piles, and hearthlings will give up on their current carrying task. I wish I had a better answer, but for the time being the only practical solution is to place them row by row.
