Not on list: soldier freeze in place bug
« on: December 16, 2007, 10:47:00 am »

Known but unlisted bug

Symptom: Soldier will occasionally freeze in place and ignore all attempts to set a new station point, on duty or not.  Dwarf will (usually?) eat, sleep, etc., but will return to the freeze point whenever possible.

Workaround:  Set a patrol route.

Does anybody have a save for this?  It doesn't sound like the stuck soldier bug I have a save for.

Actually the problem is that the first point for the patrol route was set, but no other points are set. Clearing the patrol route will fix it.

Basically the patrol route, no matter how many points set, has a higher priority than a station point.

I actually thought this had been mentioned before.

I've got it written down now, anyway.
