Trying to get a guard for my village at the same time as a large tunnel being dug. Clicking promote does the animation and closes the window but the worker keeps on digging
Welcome to the forum, @timx2tt
You’re playing with the latest version (Alpha 11 - r453) right?
Can you upload your savefile where the hearthling doesn’t stop mining / doesn’t go to pick the talisman? Maybe it’s too big for the Discourse but you could try uploading it to a free hosting like GoogleDrive or Dropbox, or maybe if you zip it you could send it to contact@radiant-entertainment.com (in that case reference this thread on the email).
Although first, let’s start by asking @sdee or @Albert if they know if digging might have priority over promoting (which I doubt, but there might be some case…).
It might just take him a while to find a path to the talisman; he will keep doing closer tasks until he’s got a path.
It might help to pause the game for a few seconds (until the coloured bar in the lower right turn mostly green). It gives the computer a chance to get caught up without anything new being piled on the processor. I’ve found it has come in handy a few times with larger or more complex construction projects too
