[SOLVED] Miners would not traverse ramps (duh)
« on: April 05, 2009, 03:26:28 pm »
For some reason the two ramps I built out of a recent dig were somehow completely ignored by my two miners. I had to turn one of them into a mason and build stairs. They are no longer starving or dying of thirst.

Any ideas why this would happen?

Things to note:
  • They were starving and dying of thirst, so they had a reason to go to the surface regardless of job designation
  • They just sat there with "no job"
  • Two possible ramps led to the surface, each with a clear path out
  • Only after building the stairs did they even think about moving.

I searched the bug page and it may or may not be related to bug #000771 (configuration in save not a bug) [pathfinding] pathing fails with certain stair/ramp configurations but that does not explain why it would do this on a fresh version of d11 with only graphics settings changed.

Was there a wall behind the ramp? Ramps don't work unless they're in front of the wall.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

Well, that makes sense. :)

And solves my mystery. Thanks!
