Help repro a bug: Workers stuck inside a building

[Tom]

Hi guys,

We’re seeing reports that workers will sometimes get stuck inside in-progress buildings after placing some furniture. In all of our test, Workers can walk through scaffolding to get out of the building.

If you’re able to repro the bug, please post specific steps, or better yet upload a save file.

Thanks and Happy New Year!

hey @Tom… I think we just had a report that might shed some light on the issue…

have your tests ever had units that utilized furniture (to eat lunch) in an as yet unfinished building? it seems like this triggered the stuck units in the most recent report (looking for it now)…

comment from the blog:

Ive had problems with, when building the dining hall, workers stop to eat in the half built dining hall because the furniture is placed but then can’t get back out to finish building because the door is blocked by scaffolding and the walls are too highly built to climb back over.

some additional user feedback:

@mokujin1970

Also concerning the buildings- if you opt to use a building template and then change any of the template parts (roof from wood to thatch, walls from wood to stone, etc.) the workers won’t finish the building or tear down the scaffolding.

@thomasbiggin

Using the houses from the templates, such as shared sleeping quarters. If you change the walls to stone not all the walls are built higher than the window, this causes the house never reach a finished state.

edit: grumble grumble… I cant locate the report, but I could swear I read it just this morning!

edit #2: oh well, if nothing else, here’s the original report:

[Ack] - workers getting stuck behind scaffolding

this is more of a mechanic bug that AI bug. under the right circumstances a worker will be on the inside of a house as the scaffolding in front of the door is put up if they are inside as it gets to the high of 2 blocks in front of the doorway they will be unable to leave the house until the scaffolding is removed. as far as I can tell they AI is working fine since they started helping to remove the scaffold after it was done being used. this happened with fixed AI in R34

Can’t reproduce the bug, here is what I did in order.

Place the dining hall template down.
Create 10 chars are 4 tables.
Wait until all workers and hungry.
Build the dining hall walls.
Harvested Berries before the roof was started.
Workers went to sit down in the house with the scaffolding up.
Workers went through the scaffolding without problem.

Before the workers would definitely get stuck, but they seem to be fine. If anyone would like to test it on their game then here is the save file

Workers Starving, Ready to build Dining Hall Save.

Here is another discussion about the same bug that might help.

Bug: Workers not building -> Worker trapped in an unfinished house

My Worker is trapped inside an unfinished building. Someone had placed down a door before the building has finished. Meanwhile, the rest of my workers have stopped building, and are now idle, even though the building is not finished. I have tried to make the workers build ladders but they aren’t doing anything Steps to reproduce: Not sure, but start to make a building 2. Have the carpenter make a door Notes: The workers have become idle a few times already, and i have tried to make them bui…

I edited my first post.

[jomaxro]

Great, thanks! I’ll page @Ponder to see this on Monday. BTW, what version of the game is this?

[bungee75]

It’s 0.14.0 release 519 x64

I have to say that I have a lot of fun with new enemies, but those big zombies are a bit terrifying at start.

[bungee75]

Oh that guy there became stucked when the house was empty.
