Help repro a bug: Workers stuck inside a building

[SteveAdamo]

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
