Stormhouse roof access glitchy

[Starfoth The Burgundy Silk Rug]

I want to build stuff on the rooves of my stormhouses, but most of the rooves are inaccessible. About half of the stormhouses in my city have glitchy or inaccessible rooves and I can't find any correlation between the ones that are and aren't glitchy

Silk,

It is the pathing. You have to lead the guys up the stairs sometimes. Bring them inside first. Then, put them in front of the stairs. Then, access the roof, and click directly in front of the stairs. Once they are up there, they can build. However, you sometimes have to bring them right next to the things they are building for them to start.

If you create a lot of things at once when the builders are on the ground level, they will often try to build items on the roof from below. They get stuck unless you guide them up the stairs first.

Tried that. Guiding them up the stairs is either really micro intensive or it doesn't work :/.

Happens when building under things often, are you under tree limbs or near cliff faces or such?

Nope

Star,

I build on flat land with no vegatation whatsoever. I also try to lay out my buildings in neat rows to avoid pathing issues. Inside, I keep the path to the staircase super straight to avoid the issues. I do not fill up buildings the way I used to, and that has made a huge difference. Maybe you can try these things also.

I've tried that and it still does not work
Level or not, half get inaccessible rooves without any vegetation around them.
Besides, getting level building is very difficult in this game.

Hey, I struggled with this issue, then realized : After you have more than 1 person in a group, you have to manually adjust which floor you are looking at. There is a diamond above the on screen inventory button and just left of the pause that allows you to manually select which floor you want to see. My guess is this is the work around for being able to control multiple characters at once.

For anyone reading with similar problems;-

Have you tried refreshing the Navmesh (CTRL + SHIFT + F11)
or the Editing UI (Shift + F12).
On the latter one do NOT click SAVE in the UI that pops up, just click the FIX STUFF button then the EXIT button.
These generally work to clean up some minor weirdness.

FIX STUFF is kind of broken and I won't recommend to use it. It moves objects that were placed correctly before.
