Hi, I have been noticing some issues with the road tiles not placing inside caves that I have dug out. This is a pain because I build rather large cave systems and it gets tiring having them move so slowly. I haven’t noticed problems when I place the roads anywhere else. Help?

I have been having a similar issue, although am using unstable. The in-game red dialogue box keeps telling me to send in a saved game with the issue but doesn’t look like I can actually do that as I am new in the forums.

However, I CAN provide links to my streams where this issue occurs. Game reports that the Hearthlings cannot find a path to build, yet the build section is directly adjacent to existing road.

[https://youtu.be/N5bT6IIatoM?t=3519](https://youtu.be/N5bT6IIatoM?t=3519)

However, I can eventually build at point [https://youtu.be/N5bT6IIatoM?t=6153](https://youtu.be/N5bT6IIatoM?t=6153) - this is when there is a small section of the area is inadvertently opened to the sky.

At the beginning of the following stream I experience the same issue with the next room over. Adding ladders doesn’t allow the Hearthlings to build. I haven’t gone so far as opening the room to the sky, but I have a feeling this will allow building.

At this point I am scrapping the series and starting over as my game is essentially broken. Will start over with a new series.
