Ashkan is trapped ... in mid air

Is there a reason why the game does not just let these dupes fall down?

Dear Klei, dupes hanging fixed in the air as they are building ladders (especially with priority set to 9) or trying to come healed out of medbeds, is now and issues since nearly 1 year. I have experienced the bug a few hundred times in 2021 and it is a daily experienced bug for me and other players. it often results in dupe death ( starvation or suffocation). I work with this bug in the way that I construct/deconstruct bug-fix ladders ( or deconstructing med bed and then building ladders for rescue release ) at the dupes feet, trying to release the stuck dupes. Please focus on fixing this issue, many thanks. Reproduced daily, I have experienced this bug 500 times or so in 2021.

I played the current stable branch and did not have the bug during my play of 3 hours just now. I only built/deconstructed 100 new ladders and poles, but I had 50 med beds busy with dupe injuries and healing and all dupes managed to leave their med beds. Was this bug fixed?  Or was I just lucky tonight on having no air hovering stuck dupes? 

24 hours ago I had the bug more than 20 times in the same save game. This is the most nerve wrecking bug during the entire year for me, I had it more than 1000 times.

I was not building much recently...As soon I start building lots it happens again. Medical beds have been fine with no bug though. Playing stable branch.

Workaround

"Mambo" stuck in the air

Workaround > Destroying "Mambo`s" tile underneath

@EricKlei In this case dupe "Mambo" got stuck at the location where "Ren" was laying dead - Either it was a rescue attempt to carry living "Ren" away or it was a transport job to bring dead "Ren" to a grave ? ). Nothing was built near dupe "Mambo" in order for her to get stuck. Also the colony has currently more dead laying around than empty graves are available.

Different dupe hanging airborn at a bed, where some other dupe has died

FYI all these dupes in the list are (unburied / insufficient number of graveyards) dead, yet they can be assigned to med-beds. @EricKlei

  2 dupes getting air-stuck at the same time

Pole-stuck dupes need a surface builT at their belly/neck height to release them successfully
