Ramps > Hollow stairways

[Drakken]

Now for my bases i am only using the outposts and small shacks, all other buildings are not usable because ofently.. sorry, all the time someone will get trapped under their hollow stairway.
The only fix, save / load reseting squad location is boring.

Ramps for every building?

[Goweigus]

as far as i know all buildings come with ramps, not sure what you mean by hollow stairways

ps: if someone gets stuck you can try bumping into them, its always worked for me

edit: havent had someone get stuck on/under stairs since last year many updates ago

Easiest method to prevent this at your own bases is to make sure you place the buildings as low as possible. I've never had this issue as long as I keep the area below the stairs relatively small.

[Drakken]

Good idea Shidan but i don't think you can do that on flat ground.

In my latest game i must say the situation is fare worse than years ago, back then the long building (my favorite), had a ramp but today it's a stairway SIGH!!!!
So i can't use it anymore since the one in charge of the farms inside that building was ALWAYS trapped under the stair.

You can pick up a character that's stuck pretty deep within objects,even objects that are supposed to be complete solids.

Manually put the character that's going to be doing tha *picking up* as close as possible to the object and other character,then right click select *pick up* from drop down menu.This method avoids the *run to* that so often leads to not being able to reach stuck characters.

You are not always micro managing your base, ofently you are with 1 character or a small squad fare from your base doing things like raids, sells, exploring, hunting etc.

While the devs consider the solution.

it would be nice if we could pick up concious squad mates (including pets) for the rare occassion they get stuck and nudging them doesnt help (im pretty sure the nudging has never failed me but i never got anyone stuck under a max height staircase)

[Temper]

Conscious squad mates (excluding pets) can be picked up at any time.

[Drakken]

Yep, back then i was doing this to work on strengh. ^^

Characters shouldn't even be allowed to get under there. They just need to remove that space altogether(add/remove bounding box), it surves absolutely no purpose other than to get them stuck and have them slowly starve if you don't notice.

I tried to block the area off using lamps. Fail.

[Sarkin]

i very rarely have any issues with people getting stuck. o.o

the only time they do might be on the odd terrain pathing issue. when it comes to buildings with stairs i've not had anyone get stuck in a rather long time. i have 40 squad members and atleast 5 of them are frequently running up an down stairs in various buildings going from production to storage areas. and the only time they got stuck was a few patches ago on the roof but thats been patched since then since they don't get stuck anymore.

Shidan trick work well obviously, and you can really dig the long house even on flat ground (never really flat) you still have a litle hole under the stair but obviously too small for my characters to be trapped in it, thanks Shidan.
Lowriders houses mod !

side note: my dogs havent gotten stuck under stairs, but just today one got stuck running perpendicular to the very end of some Shek base stairs (the really wide ones that most cities have). I was able to just tell him to turn around and then follow me.

he wouldnt clear what must have been 8 inches or less of the first step lol
