Can't remove object

[Vevrain]

It's a remote door, accidentally placed instead of jail door. Couldn't get rid of it due to pathing failing, there was nothing in the way of it though, as I hadn't built the other half of the cell's wall.

Bulldozed the entire building.
Now it's literally just the door standing there.
Still can't remove due to no path available. As guards, workmen, and prisoners run past it.

Anyone know any workarounds?

[Frazzledragøn the Trustworthy]

Lock Open, then repeatedly cancel and re-apply the Dismantle job until the workers eventually get to doing it.
Right-click the door itself in a menu-view, such as Foundation, to cancel queued jobs.
Also make sure to press Dump a second time when selecting the door itself to un-do it just in case, or switch it to Dismantle. This serves just to refresh the jobs.

This may not work the first time, because the older a job gets the longer is the Check-if-possible refresh time.

Thanks, I just figured that out, but I had to do pretty much exactly that.

A door needs to be open to be dismantled. One way or another.

In my experience this is incorrect - unless they changed something the only thing I am aware of that would prevent an object being removed is if it is in gang territory or there are pathing issues (whether because of the crappy pathing system or because there is no access to the room where the object is)

they changed nothing, was always so. But remote doors cant be opened directly with a guard. the working position for dismantling an object, is at the middle point of the object themself.

This is true I was just pointing out that not all doors need to be opened to be dismantled or dumped.

your again false. Every door has to be opened, to dismantle them. Because the working point cant be reached if its closed.

Yeah I notice that now. Seems crazy to me but thats the case... Thats why I deleted my previous post.

No biggie, that's why we're all here - to discover things about the game we hadn't yet realized.

For instance, I just learned you can have two power generators connected to the same circuit - but they have to be logic-controlled (much like real back-up generator systems).

[Trixi]

Well the easiest way to connect is to build a power switch and switch your powerswitch manually. Or you rebuild my backup-generator system, that doesnt work, because the game creates lags. Im sorry, thats not the fault of my system, its the fault of the game :(

Guys, anybody knows how to remove a door if I put it under a light bulb?
I accidentally locked the door and can't nether open nor delete it. Every time if I choose door the game offers me to delete the light bulb. But I can't do it too, because of I can't delete the door. Grrarh!
