Grubby repair kit grabbers

[Inner Sight]

anyone know why pals just grab repair kits and drop them on the ground to grab the next repair kit and drop that one on the ground too?

I'm sure it's a bug but short of just not leaving repair kits in the box I dunno what to do about this.

Assuming it's a bug. Normally only leave 1 in a chest in the areas they're likely to use it as they'll just keep using the same one even thought it's on the ground. Seems to happen when I'm at my base when they're bringing them back and not when I leave it after a raid. That is, I've never once seen them dropped by Pals outside of the times I was chilling at my base. With Anubis, it's due to the Pal getting distracted by other work. Whatever it's carrying it'll drop it if I start crafting anything it cues in on.

Do you have any structures that your Pals can't reach (like on a higher cliff that they can't walk to due to its path not being in the base)? If so, then they keep dropping Repair Kits due to trying and failing to repair the structures.

I think they're trying to fix something that's not in range or fixable from where they are. I had to just get rid of them and tweak the custom settings for buildings.

There's quite a few bugs like this where if two tasks are the same priority and distance the pal will get stuck in place in a drop/pickup loop.

I had an issue with transport skill pals getting stuck picking up log and wool because my log farm and ranch were too close to eachother.

All you can really do is try moving one or the other station somewhere else.

If you dont build your base walls INSIDE the blue build zone, pals will grab a repair kit, walk over to damaged wall (Or aproximate) and throw it on the ground.
They cant reach outside the blue zone... No one can. :P
lol
(It seems if the wall is even outside the zone slightly, theyll do this.)

That's good to know. I will try and make sure I'm well inside the ring. I think that also counts for things above their heads too. I built two building high levels (main ground, 1 floor and then a another on top of it both additional floors two levels high. MOST can get up there to do what is needed. They still grab the repair kids and drop them just outside of the box they were in. I had theorized that maybe it was something above them. They know it needs repaired, but they don't use the stairs to go up and repair it. At least that's been my experience. I just turned off the setting for buildings and will rebuild as needed.
