Testing building different shapes, solid and hollow, when building a hollow 11x11x11 orb or sphere there is always (so far for me at least) 1 hearthling that builds himself into the structure. Hoping you guys can discern why…
Steps to reproduce:
Copy this into your - \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stonehearth\saved_objects\stonehearth\building_templates
1a) hearthstone egg.zip (2.4 KB)
Launch latest release - 535
Start New or Continue game
Select ‘Build & Design’ option
Select ‘Place Building’ option
Place Building “Hearthstone Egg”
Finish & Build the building
Observe about 2/3rds of the way through the build, a single hearthling walks into the structure never to return
Expected Results:
Hearthlings are able to focus on 1 floor or layer at a time without moving to the 2nd layer before finishing the first. Watch how the hearthlings build these solid and hollow squares-
I’ve had this issue whenever I’ve built up a hollow foundation (in the structural sense, not using the foundation type in the building tool). If I want to build something with a large footprint and raise it up so that the bottom floor is higher than the surface I’m building on, I’ll build a hollow base to save on materials, but one hearthling will often get stuck inside the hollow base. I’ve given up on the practice, though I’ve been occasionally successful in saving right before the foundation is finished and building a ladder to get them out just in time or upon a few tries after reloading.
Note . I didn’t see your buildling
I have seen it often happens if the hearthlings lack access to the floors (ladders is key), then they start building the next area instead, often encapsulating their fellow Hearthlin .
Until fixed, my advice is to pause the building before the encapsulate their fellow and then build a ladder so our hearthling can escape certain death by starvation ^^
