My game is completely destroyed by bugs.

Changed Status to Known Issue

Hi @Bagger1234, 

Thanks for the reports, there are definitely bugs here we will be looking into. 

In the meantime, it appears that a lot of the issues your dupes have are because of trying to pathfind into water.  Especially if there are multiple ladders creating different paths into the water, the dupe pathfinding gets confused.

For example, if you remove some of the ladders here:

Like this:

Then some of your dupes will become unstuck.

This is due to a current bug in the game, but until we find a solution for this kind of problem, it's something you can watch out for and try to work around to keep your base operational.

 

 

I´m not an expert on pathfinding routines at all. But if i´m correct, the problem only occurs when seeking paths without an exosuit, because with exosuit, they ignore water-restrictions. The problem seems to be the messy calculations of pathfinding under water, to prevent dupes to go to far.

So i would propose a new item in the game as a solution. The breathing mask as an early tech object and single use. (1kg copper and 1kg dirt als filter or so) And in the same process prevent dupes to enter water >1 tile high at all, without a breathing tool. That way, the dupes can work under water, if really neccessary, but the messy pathfinding without a breather would vanish at all.
