Duplicants failing to register they are falling

Changed Status to Known Issue

I've also been unsuccessful in reproducing this bug when I looked at it before. If you find any more insights please let me know. I'll try to look at it again when I have time.

So I attempted to recreate the bug but found something slightly different (which may or may not be related but might assist with finding the issue).

By moving the ladder the duplicant is standing on with Alt+Q (dev mode), the duplicant remains stuck with the navigation of the previously positioned ladder as its only navigation (essentially it becomes a phantom ladder),the location is also unbuildable but can have another object (Alt Q) moved back into its location.

While the phantom tile kinda is against my initial concept of being able to build a tile below/on the duplicant to move them again, because the navigation is locked after a decontruct there is essentially no phantom tile ingame (So it might be related)

Recreation conditions (but doesn't always work as shown in the video link enclosed):

*Dev mode (via KLEIPLAY on main menu + CTRL F4)

*Sandbox

*build a ladder in a location where a duplicant can't access to other standable objects.

Have a duplicant stand on the ladder then move the ladder with the Alt Q (from dev mode)

I was recording at the time I was testing this so I edited/uploaded what I thought was important (I will be deleting this video at a later date)

The phantom tile can be seen at 1:22 and it's existence remaining with other tiles around it at 2:35

 

Moving a building is not without side effects and not something we generally consider when implementing a building. Ladders define an area for ladder movement on creation and clean it up when the building is removed, it does not update when the building is moved. So what you are seeing here is expected.

I believe this bug is different though, since if there was a phantom ladder 1-tile above the ground dupes would still use it without issue. Here's a related issue but with a Triage Cot which exhibits similar behavior.

Good to know, back to the drawing board I guess for me, If I figure out something else out I'll let you know.
