Pals stop working

[Chucky]

Since the last patch my Pals stop working on my workbenches. If i grab them and put them infront of the workbench or furnace it say "nothing to do" but i have ore in queue (use a fire pal) and on workbench i have arrows in queue (use a sheep) and also a tool for a Pal on the bench (use a worker pal too).

I've had this happen too, especially with the breeding pen. I think it either has to do with there being too many trees or too much loot inside the base area, because whenever I have the problem I clear those two things up and it goes away.

Hope it helps.

Bad that we cant prio the work for them if they can work and farm or something else.
I dunno why they dont work on the benches anymore, i changed the plas and deleted all other things they could do but nothing worked.

Yep, trees seem to cause major pathing issues. ...unfortunately, those grow back as soon as you're not looking, unless you cover the entire ground in tiles.

Have tons of this issue when the home base pathing is overly complicated. Having a base that is just opened and not a freaking maze do help a lot in my case.

I usually just go back to the titlescreen and reload my save
Has helped a lot with pals not being able to recognise a workstation

They annoying thing is if i grab and throw the pal to the workbench it say nothing to do but i have something in queue. If i delete the queue and reassign the item to craft, the pal that help is showing in the crafting menu on the bench but than 2-3 seconds alter the pal disapear and doing other stuff instead crafting.

If i build something in my base like defense the pals all coming and help building.

Yep. Really should just build a base where the game wants you to: the large open clearings.
I tried fancier locations, and both of those bases backfired. In one, all workers fall into the river and then get stuck under the waterfall. Nothing I can do to fix that, as far as I can tell. They insist on pathing there.

In other, they keep falling off the cliffs due to elevation, then can't get back up without help. Sigh.

The same issue, however, if you summon your pal - it still will work on the workbench. But if you drop your pal from the base - it still refusing to craft.
Hope it would be fixed soon.

We had the same problem while our workarea was inside a building. If you put everythink outside in an open space the start working again as normal

[SiFi]

The fast solution to pals not working is to go to the base hub, remove them from pals that you have working (put back into the computer) then drop them back into work. That resets them and they should get back to working. It will take some time since the pathing of the pals needs to run its loop before they start looking for more jobs to do.

If they glitch and stop doing anything, remove from base and add again, some of my Pals sometimes climb trees and will starve cuz they stupid lol

[Chucky]

Remove from Base and add again doesnt worked for me. I made a new base on a new spot and build an open house without doors. This help a lot and also not only one heught, i made a two height building.
It seem doors are bad for pathfinding and alos the space should be big enaugh that the pals can move freely through the building and have more options to leave.

Same

This is an open beta. Expect weird bugs. It's normal.

I do but am I not allowed to talk about it?
I reported this to the developer already but talking about here isnt forbidden or?
