This bug is going to be the end of my colony

[Yemto]

So I have a few pipes, walls and wires I really need. But it says there is no path to it.

If I manually ask a duplicant to go there.

I don't know what to do, I really need that pipe and what I have been building up there.

The thing is that it is granite, so not all dupes will be able to dig it. Find the dupe that is able and move that dupe there.

If he still can't dig try cancelling the order. If the ghost image remains you have to reload the game. If it does go away replace the order and see if it works.

If that is not working screenshot the "errands" tab.

Okay I got it working, but not how I usually do it. Normally I can just drag tiles I want to build and then the pipe. What I had to do was to ask them to dig out the tiles first, then I could build there.

Are your hard diggers unable to do building errands (Unconstructive trait)? Dupes need to be able to both build and dig to do construction dig errands.

I just checked and that's the case, the only Dupes I have with Superduperhard Digging have that trait. That should really be fixed or at least the "Unreachable Dig" message changed.

If you go to the "errands" tab of your task you'll get a more detailed description of why dupes aren't doing it. It will also help you understand the priority system together with each dupe's "to do" list, which if used correctly can increase the efficiency of your dupes a lot.

That's true, but I still think the message should be changed, since it's not because the Dupes can't reach that's the problem, it an skill issue. Similar to when you build a Electric Grill without having a cook, but in that case is says it's a skill issue, not that the Grill can't be reached.

You said it was because your digger had "unconstructive", so it's not really that they lack the skill, but that they have a negative trait preventing it. In the "errands" tab this would be made clear.

[Shame]

Yeah, that must be a bug. Normally, if a duplicant can't do an errand, you can't upgrade that skill tree for them, but for some reason you can for digging? That is 100% a bug.

[Hedning]

His dupe was "Unconstructive". That does not stop him from upgrading digging, that would be "Trypophobia".
