A65: Capital Unreachable / No Immigration ???

[Shaola]

Excited to play the alpha! I've been playing this game for quite some time, on and off, but I've hit an issue I've not encountered before.

I started a new game and was immediately got a "Capital Closed!" message:

"Your capital is unreachable. There is no clear path from any entry point to your Throne. As a consquence, no immigration or trade can happen. Clear a path to an edge of the map as soon as possible."

This was confusing as there was a clear path to East and South edges of the map. There is a river that runs from the bottom left up to the top left, then across to the right edge of the map; like a 90 degree corner.

I've cleared a path across the river, north of my throne room. I've placed paths to the south and east edges of the map (don't think this achieves anything).

My 10 human pop fluctuate between 82-95 loyalty/happiness. I can't get any more than the original 10 starting people...!

I'm not really sure what else to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I started a new game and noticed some new yellow paths were visible on the map that I've not seen before when starting a new game. Guess it was just a bug that may have already been fixed. Not sure!

first i ran into this problem when i started on an island in the middle of a river, i filled in water to one of the paths and still nothing, what linked everything was when i finally built a Road/Bridge across linking it Same went for having a mountain in the way I had to tunnel across and then add a road. Hope this helps..

yea, with the new update if you want immigration you need to construct a walkable connection to one of the areas with the dirt path that connects to the side of the map since that is where people enter from, I didn't do it for the first time and was wondering why I only had my starting 10 until I build a dirt road over the river to the other side and it suddenly let me.
Thank goodness for dirt roads also being able to construct bridges over rivers in v65.

Thanks for the replies guys. Yeah I did build paths - saw the new path/bridge graphics - but still nothing. I can only conclude that there was some area of the map that didn't have clear access to my throne room but there was no way of knowing what part of the map that was. I would have had to have spent hours digging through mountains, hoping and guessing.

On the problematic game though, there were no pre-created yellow paths anywhere so I don't really know. I'm on a new map now and everything is fine :)

Weirdly, I'm having this problem way later in the game, I've had my population go up to 60 and decided to build the import export (really late) and then got the message I had my capital closed on attempting to import furniture (exporting wood at that point had no issue).
I've water to the west and a mountain to the east if I remember right, but I think the north and south are connected... Sorry, was yesterday I was playing...

"Clear a path to an edge of the map as soon as possible." Is not correct and should be changed. It should say: "Clear a patch to the edge of the map where the road enters/exits"

how do I find this? I don't see a dirt path. I'm on 68B, map is open North and South and has mountains East and West.

What road? I don't see any road in my map https://ibb.co/Myssf2jq
