| Summary | 0013489: Dwarves wander, pause, and drop hauled items when gathering in a gathering zone. | ||||
| Description | When assigned to gather plants in plant gathering zones, dwarves behave erratically: 1. Dwarves wander about aimlessly, seemingly performing the "gather plants" action in locations where there is nothing gatherable. 1(a) If stepladders are allowed in the zone, dwarves will pause in the same location for days on end, doing nothing but listing their action as "Gather Plants". They seem to do this when standing below gatherable leaves, but I have not replicated this facet of the issue. 2. If stepladders are enabled, dwarves will use the stepladder to "gather plants" on tiles where there is nothing gatherable. Possibly a subcase of bug 1. 3. If stepladders are enabled, dwarves will drop hauled plants immediately upon deciding to use a stepladder to gather (i.e. immediately after finishing their prior gathering task). This leads to large numbers of desired plants withering outdoors, because they cannot be hauled back efficiently. The "store item in stockpile" action moves 1 item at a time, while gatherers frequently have dozens of items hauled simultaneously. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Create a gathering zone and allow stepladders to be used, and where there are gatherable leaves. 2. Cause the gathering action to happen as usual. | ||||
| Additional Information | It seems that "dwarves drop hauled items when deciding to use a stepladder" (bug 3) may be desired behavior. My apologies if so. I am not familiar with the usual function of stepladders. | ||||
