Pathing is still pretty dumb

Still think they need to put a higher priority on a path they already made rather then recalculate and pick a slightly different one back and forth forever.

One way to break them out of a suffocating loop is to manually command them to somewhere that is closer to oxygen.

They keep recalculating because the tile of oxygen they were going towards is also moving around, typically in/out of actual reach of the dupe. Manually commanding a dupe will override any task, even if it is sleeping, eating, using the bathroom, narcolepsy, suffocating, etc.

I agree that it's a pretty dumb behavioral loop, but it will likely only be fixed when the pathing AI gets its complete rework.

Yeah I usually do that if I catch them.  Don't know why I didn't see a suffocating warning.

I've got too much lag to add in jetpacks, but i'll probably do it anyway.
