When ordered to build a bridge to reach a previously inaccessible region, Hearthlings can decide to begin constructing it from the “inaccessible” side, essentially preventing building to begin.
Steps to reproduce:
Generate a map with an island
Spawn on the “big land”
Create a plan for a bridge to reach the island.
Note: my bridge “touches” only shores, no supports from the river bottom
(dunno if relevant) Add a ladder from your shore to the bottom of the lake to help Hearthlings create scaffolding
In my case Hearthlings didn’t start building until I added a second ladder leading from the river bottom to the island. Hearthlings then proceeded to construct the bridge, starting from the island to the “big land”.
Expected Results:
If a linear structure (read: bridge) can be built starting from two sides, but only one of these sides is accessible for pathfinder at the moment, hearthlings should start from that currently accessible part.
Actual Results:
The point to start building a structure is selected at random (?)
Version Number and Mods in use:
Alpha 24.4, Win7 x64
It is on an experimental branch on Steam. Anyone can go to that branch to try to break it.
And that branch was made from the current code, so it’s technically A24 too
