Dupes stuck in doors

I had that happen one time (no mods) but pretty random... Didn't happen in another save.

 

At least it's not only me. The problem you described in your quoted post also happens for me. Dupes have problems interacting with doors (as well as with doors in between), that block airflow.

This is an issue with the Airlock Door mod, which was also present in @sakura_sk's log file. The comments on the mod page mention duplicants getting entombed by the door.

One way to get a similar bug to reproduce is to build a mechanical airlock, then build something that requires resources to be delivered to it, like a Deodorizer right behind the door. The dupe will start opening the door, the start building the building, the animation will break, but dupe will remain on the near side of the door (the building behind on the other side), the loading bar will then disappear, but after a while, the building will have finished.

The same will happen when the dupe is going to take sand to the deodorizer.

I just built a new manual air lock to confirm , and a dupe was trying to pick up something right in the first tile behind the manual airlock. he got stuck before the door, just stood there, but magically picked up the sand regardless.

@Lunkdolt This is something we noticed too, for example this bug report.

@EricKlei but no mods were enabled. Are they still interfering with save files? Should I unsubscribe completely? 

In the save I posted a while back when the snow fell as the door closed and the dupe teleported to the side in the tiles of the door, the door entombed the dupe. It happened every time differently (sometimes the snow melted as soon as it fell) but I'll try to reproduce it using only doors if that helps

@EricKlei I reproduced the conditions of my save file and it can entomb a dupe every time. I don't know if the timing of the door matter (sometimes the dupe is teleported outside the door Door bug_3.sav ) but it happens if the door is closed and the dupe has nowhere else to go.

Left _hold the door_.savor right_hold the door_2.sav direction does not seem to matter

 

Thanks for those examples @sakura_sk. They should be entombed in the sand cells in that scenario instead of the door. If another duplicant walks through the door it frees them.

I wonder though if this is the same scenario @Shavanna encountered. Looking at the attached save, the camera is positioned looking at the Manual Airlocks in the middle of the base with no falling solids around.

The problem in my original save was the fact that the dupe was alone in another asteroid...  (the teleporter one fortunately)

@EricKlei it has nothing to do with sand in my case. It's the door of the food storage, that has this problem very often, which is not surprising, as the dupes need to use it at least one time per cycle to get their meals. As for the matter with the airlock door mod, i dont even use it. Probably it works similar like my self-sealing airlocks-mod ( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2408087784&searchtext=self-seal (ignore the chinese, it just make the base game mod ready for the dlc)), as gases cant get through them and thus causes the same problems.

Sorry, that was the mod I meant to link to. We took a brief look at that mod's source code and it fully replaces parts of our door code which has changed since the original mod was last updated.

Does this still happen when you disable the mod? There's a possibility it still does.

I misread your Player.log file, you did not have the mod enabled. The issue you encountered was more the entombed recover code not accounting for airlocks.
