Two of my plant gatherers brought out stepladders to a fruit-gathering zone.  They climbed up into a tree to gather something and then I got this message:

Code: [Select]

Asmel Alåthkol, Herbalist cancels Gather Plants: Could not find path.
Sarvesh Ustuthlisid, Fisherdwarf cancels Gather Plants: Could not find path.
Has this happened to anyone else? I haven't seen them get stuck in trees before.
I guess I'll build stairs to try and rescue them.

I haven't seen that, but I know creatures can be trapped in trees (I've lost grazers that way). My understanding is that this can happen as trees grow, which results in modified paths and modified access.

Looks like it's time to call the woodcutters.

Interesting occurence.

They're only trapped if they stay up there for a whole week. Fruit gatherers often throw a minor pathing error and send a cancellation message but find their way back down just fine. I don't know if they just remember where they placed the ladder or if they climb down the trunk.

Yeah, it happened to me once or twice as well.

Building wooden walls and ramps tends to fix that easily, though.

I'm not sure what happened but they seemed trapped; I think they were both on "no job". One of them had the blinking "hungry" indicator. The other went to sleep.

Yeah, I think ramps are a good idea. It's good to know that works!
