Mule not moving

[MrPuginstein]

so I started deep core mining but for some dumbass reason it decides to stay in place not moving whatsoever, I cant even complete the mission now

[Dwarfurious]

Hm this happened to me during my deep dive too; dig out the ground underneath her!

I had this too. I had to call her from behind so she moved backwards, as calling her while in front made her stand up but just slowly walk in place. Once she moved backwards, I tried to get her to move forwards of course. And she did, she acted like there was some invisible wall or something that she had to walk around.

I also dug around her too, not sure if that was necessary or not though.

Same thing. Also this week's Deep Dive (normal). 2nd mission IIRC. The middle of a room about halfway through the cavern.

I was able to get her to move by standing next to and caliing, which broke the freeze. Then calling progressively around the side of the room to the exit, go around the center. Something about the center of that room glitched Molly good.

Had this as well. I believe it occurs near one of the reparable mules.

Did normal only twice (once with randoms then with friends) and both times I noticed the oddity.

First time as driller I c4'd molly which fixed her up real good and the second just pick axe as I think I was probably scout.

happened to me twice, it wasnt actually MOLLY that got stuck but the mini mule
MOLLY seems to have some pathfinding rule that doesnt let her walk too far from mini mules? i dont understand why, but thats what it looked like...
we could call MOLLY, and she would walk for a bit, but then either walk back towards the mini mule or stop and just stand there

once we dug around the mini mule and got it to walk again, MOLLY then walked normally as well

thats at least what happened to us...
idk if it was different for you guys?

It can happen sometimes when she gets stuck on the terrian. If you dig under her and clear the area it will often let her move.

Yea I think this is what happened. I believe it has something to do with the "mule train" that occurs during salvage missions. If one of them gets stuck it can impact the rest.

i just ran into this again... the mini mule is stuck and wont move
MOLLY wont move more than a few steps away from the mini mule
i tried everytrhing, in the end what got her unstuck was some exploders getting triggered right next to MOLLY while she was sitting on the floor... after they damaged the terrain around her, she could then move away from the mini mule that was stuck.

the mini mule then re-spawned at the ceiling of the cave and walked after MOLLY

i broke all the terrain around the mini mule and MOLLY, it didnt help... both were still stuck and wouldnt really move more than a few steps or run in circles

Had it happen once. MOLLY appeared to have hit an invisible wall. our driller just dug under it and problem solved.
