Stuck in place Characters

[Tallios]

Right now I'm having a character that is stuck "walking" in place. I've tried save/loading, assigning and deleting jobs, etc. I even dismissed them from the shelter. They do not move. They appear to be "above" the floor, but I could be wrong. They are slowly starving to death and there is nothing I can do to save them.

I've had a similar problem with a character that froze after waking up and just stood eternally next to the bed. They ignored all orders and needs. When I tried to send them on an expedition they never moved and the whole expedition team got permanently stuck "leaving the shelter". I was never able to figure out how to get them back. Changing the route did nothing.

What I would recommend for the short term is a global counter for a character that has been dismissed, to leave the shelter within 1 day or just be deleted. This would at least help with clean ups

Noticed this issue myself when one person was cleaning up the place with a mop (they're now walking indefinitely in the spot with no way to "unbug" them so they'll most likely just die until this is fixed).

[Tallios]

The challenge I have is that the person won't die

Can we get an unstuck button to release and reset all characters to the main door as a temp solution? ... i've had to restart many times due to stuck character (like those mentioned above). At least that'll mean you'll have to fix the route cause and not have ppl like me almost rage-quitting.

Hi all,

Thanks for your reports.

Could you please test the experimental build as this issue should be fixed?
You can find the guide on how to do this here.

Please do let us know if the issue persists in this build!

I am still having this issue, I have had 1 character just stop, and eventually die, and I have just had another stop, and won't move.

[dave.the.uncertain]

I have gotten on the experimental branch, and while I haven't had a new character get stuck, both of the characters that were stuck are now not selectable, either by paging through the characters or by clicking on them. Also, they don't seem to be dying. I'll keep you posted

2024, almost 2025 this issue is still a thing...

Bloody hell, 2025 and these is stil an issue, the worst is i have advanced play-through and the character that is hanging is my Leader ! I will not start again. Delete. After Shelter 1 i wanted to try 2 much but im disappointed. Also the amount of micromanagement take out the fun and lack of respec the characters at least once or by some resoucres...
