Attack on puft pathing is disrupted even if pathing is valid.

Experiencing the same issue with a shine bug inside my barracks, standard 4 tiles high room.

Looks like "combat engagement" as it's called in the tooltip of the alert in the top left, is triggered only when the critter is inside the bottom row of cells just above the floor.

First row above floor, attacks will be triggered and executed.

Second row above floor, combat engagement canceled and will not be triggered, critter not flagged unreachable.

Third and fourth row above floor, combat engagement canceled and will not be triggered, critter gains "unreachable" status.

Additionally, after a reload of the most current auto-save with the critter saved inside the third row of cells, the attack is not triggered anymore ever, even when the critter moves to ground level.

 

Changed Status to Known Issue

Changed Status to Fixed

Will be fixed in the next hotfix.

I knew something was off when i tried to get rid of stray Shinebugs from my base and the attack errand kept failing unless the Shinebug was hugging the floor..

@EricKlei I'm still reproducing this with build U51-596666-5 and all mods disabled. The attached save file has a Puft Prince centered with Attack set on it but no errands show up and no dupes initiate combat.

This was fixed after yesterday's hotfix went out. It will be in the next hotfix.

Gotcha, thanks for the clarification.

Fix is live now.

 

FYI, the bug where Pufts drown themselves in shallow pools of pWater is back. If I can get a repro scenario I'll open another bug, but my ranch just got wiped out.
