Entire cavern is an unreachable location
« on: February 23, 2023, 03:30:26 am »

My second cavern layer has a half dozen stuck goblin invaders and a stuck forgotten beast. They've been glued to their respective tiles for a few years.

I sent my two military squads down there, but they can only do their Station thing on a few tiles. Most cavern tiles claim to be an unreachable location.

My miners are able to get down there to mine, but they see a stuck goblin and run around in terror. The stuck goblin remains stuck, along with all the other goblins and the forgotten beast.

I was able to mine a hole so the squads can see the stuck goblin, but they don't respond, and I can't target him manually (it says "no reachable valid target.")

Check for burrows etc.
Then upload the save to DFFD and report it as a bug.

Hmm, the DFFD upload version number only goes up to 50.06. Hopefully that doesn't mess anything up.

Was where a big fire? Is temperature disabled?

Before the Steam release, in 0.47.05, I had a similar issue.  The reason was that a tree got destroyed after the area underneath it had been smoothed, so it left behind no floor (just "empty space" nobody could fall or walk through).  Perhaps this place is missing floor too?  I do not recognise the purple ground texture, and all the affected goblins are standing on it.

Ha, yes and yes. I enabled temperature in the settings again and watched the entire cavern layer burst into flames, melting the skin off the goblins, who limped about leaving rivers of blood behind them, as the forgotten beast trotted over to destroy what was left.

Be wary of disabling temperature, I guess. At least the game unstuck itself when I did re-enable it.
