What are these white lines?

[the7thguest]

At first I thought it shows when a path could not be found and a villager can't get to work, but this won't fit to these screens, path is clearly free.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

I believe it´s a visual bug. A reload removes those lines.

Мені на жаль перезавантаження не допомогло, написав звіт з логами на пошту. З'явився після масового перетягування овець і вже не перший раз.

They appear when someone can't find a way from one point to another like you say, sometimes happens for me when a building is finished constructing, and to the next building in queue.

They pathing problems normally sort themselves out, and especially when the next building is complete, although the lines remain until you do a quicksave / quickload (using F5 / F9).

Sometimes I've had problems with some cart sheds or something that have had their terrain altered by close by buildings, or path blocked by new buildings, then I've had to demolish the buildings in question and rebuild another place to solve it.

Thought it was something with pathing, still weird, what to the forestry guys want at the chicken coop. Ah well, as you guys said, reloading fixes it but still wondered if there's a way to avoid it.

The main reason for the lines being visible is for troubleshooting, I think. Ideally we should send a save game to the developer when we see these lines, so he can take a look at it and find a solution, but I must admit I haven't been good at sending save games.

It's not a bug, Bjorn is right.

Lol and yet in the link you shared it is called a bug, how curious.
Anyway, the advice stands, reload and it goes away.

You read the dev's explanation in that link, right?
The white lines are not a (visual) bug, they are intended to be there, making pathfinding issues visible.

Yes, they go away when you reload the game, but you shouldn't ignore them every time they appear. They are visible for a good reason, so that players can report it.
