Villager blocked
I'm getting the villager blocked issue. I narrowed it down to gems. If I put gems in storage, the villager blocked message will start happening. I followed the little guy. He goes home, then tries to go to storage and is blocked. Works fine if I remove gems from the warehouse.

My build is
App ID: 690830
Build ID: 15747566

Hope this is helpful.

That probably means that your storage's entrance to the slot you set for gems is blocked. Could you post a screenshot to confirm if that is the case?

Edit: Another explanation could be that the pick up entrance to the quarry's crane holding the gems is blocked and not the warehouse.

I hadn't considered it could be an issue with the quarry, I'll try adjusting it and report back.

I'm sure it isn't storage because I have 4 of them, and they all do it with gems only.

I was able to move the quarry storage and it did fix the problem.

What confused me is, when I followed the little guy to see where the block was. He went to the central storage unit, not the quarry storage. So, this suggested there was an issue with the central storage. Not a big deal, but perhaps a bit of a UI bug. If you want people to know what is actually blocked, it would make more sense if the villager went to the thing that was blocked.

Love the game BTW!

Just to clarify this a bit, he goes to the warehouse because that is where he is employed at so reaches his job and then when he tries to path to the quarry to pick up resources for transport he fails and stays put waiting.

The warning you see in the logs page of the book should have a little pin icon to click that should zoom your camera to the problematic location i.e. the quarry storage crane.

I totally get that, however, it's not intuitive, and was difficult enough that I couldn't find a fix, and thought it was a bug. Once again, not a huge deal for me, but I can see someone without my patience, thinking it's broken and giving up on the game. I like the game, so I don't want to see that happen.

Unfortunately that is part of the trade-off for the game allowing you place parts wherever you want for maximum creativity, if you are not careful you might inadvertently block some of your villagers or buildings.

Having said that the full release includes a number of improvements to make this harder to happen.
