KELVIN Gates and ramps?

[Scorpion]

Ok i can not seem to get Kelvin to use gates or ramps/stairs. is this normal? wasn't sure if its where i have decided to build, being tight on a ledge because of his collision/follow distance area. Thank you for an insight.

Don’t think he or Virginia can use gates, stairs or bridges made by players.

They can definitely use stairs and ramps. I'm constantly seeing both of them on the upper floors of my base. Gates though, they cannot use.

Stairs and ramps seem to be iffy whether they will work or not, likely do to how flush the bottom is with the ground.

To test, you can tell Kelvin to follow you and then run up/over the ramp/stairs. If he follows you, then his pathing accepts your path, if not, then it isn't recognized as a path they can use.

I was able to get Kelvin to follow me up a wood ramp by telling him to pick up the radio and telling him to follow me.

Mr. K is always undecided as to whether or not he wants to use my stairs, Sometimes he goes right up or down them, sometimes he acts like he's never seen them before.

Don't matter if i tell him to follow me and i move far away then go back and forth to change the direction of the line between us and wait a while at each place. Seems like he can do better if you tell him to take a break but he's breaked-out and ready to work so he still tries to go to you.

I agree but ramps aren't used to go up there are just used for roofs but I understand your point! Also sometimes they can't go throuthg the door without the lock and they can't open doors with locks a bit stupid but maybe in some updates that could be added/fixed.

You can go up ramps faster than you can go up stairs in this game.
