Ship Waterways - Pathfinding

[Mr.Rothwell]

Am I missing something obvious, got a cargo terminal and created a water way from the shipping lane to the terminal but it says 'pathfinding failed' when I try to create a route. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, anyone experience the same and solved it?

[Chobo]

I have the same problem. Only one of ships yards runs well and i can create a route, The second dont work and it is imposible cregate a route 'pathfinding failed'

[Mr.Rothwell]

Perhaps a bug then. Hopefully gets fixed in next update.

[ikillomega]

Yep. I'm getting this, too. I can't extend a ship's seaway path past a certain point and cannot connect to another harbor. glad it's not just me

Did you connect the pathway to the pathway that leads to the outside shipping connections?

Yes I bought the tiles and then extended my own shipping lane from my port to the shipping lane that exists in the world already. I think I am just doing something wrong, hopefully someone will upload a video on youtube and I can follow their steps.

Mine looks like this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3061482788

The major difference I see is that the route on mine is visible as a solid line forming a loop between the harbor and the external connection. I don't see that in your screenshot.

The map I'm playing had an existing sea connection, which I used. I connected to it via the medium-sized shipping lane.

[Mr.Rothwell]

Maybe I'll try a different map and see if it becomes more obvious what I did wrong.

i screwed with the lines a lot and found that if you trace a path from the outside connection first instead of your harbor first, if you fiddle with it A LOT it eventually works. I played with the sea lanes right in front of my harbor a lot too.

i am having the same issue with ''path finding failed'' error message too. only one dock of the cargo harbour works (route with outside connection).

also and none of my passenger harbours works at all. (route between habours)

i guess we will have to start the line from outside connection point first otherwise my cargo harbour wont work at all.

I am experiencing the same issue. Also when I try to adjust my sealanes I get weird “road required” messages sometimes.

I just had this problem, deleted the lane redrew it and that did it, I think you've just missed when connecting the lane to the harbor, or it could have something to do with the angle they connect, it didn't seem to like me disrupting the oval preplaced lane that comes with the cargo harbor by placing a large lane down the middle, if that's what you're trying to do.

Just went trough issues with the "pathfinding failed" error. Make sure that when placing your seaway, you're not changing the base seaway available on your harbor. The way I did it first pushed the ship node outside the harbor's seaway, and I couldn't create any route. Once I fixed this and made sure that my nodes were inside the seaway, it worked.

What I see that is not working is having the sea connection (waterway) come directly at the port. For it to work, it has to come from one side and exit out the other side - sort of the way race cars pit stop. They don't pull in head-on like they are at the supermarket; they parallel in and parallel out. Look at BanzaiMonkey's image above.

This is the way
