Not only do my citizens often freeze for long periods of time, but they also abandoned work on their house, which was still missing an entire wall. Maybe the three-dimensional pathing issue is seasonal, and if so, Happy New Year!
I was able to play for about 30 minutes, until everyone stopped in their tracks. I pressed F9 to see the pathing, and saw what you have seen above. It is as if the world of Stonehearth simulates entropy (the phenomenon / theory that states that as time goes on, the universe becomes more chaotic) at a never before seen speed, to the point where the universe implodes (the game crashes)…
