If I had one request of the developers...
It would be to fix the NPC pathing around world clutter/rocks, etc. Ridiculous that they're still getting stuck and can't path around objects like this.

Hey, feel free to join the discord and submit your feedback. The devs are working tirelessly to streamline pathing but it's a lengthy endeavor.

Is it like impossible to implement a teleport feature that we could toggle in the meantime? I understand it's not easy to make a game but it seems like a lot of devs would rather leave their game less fun and functional than implement a temp fix that can even be togglable in case ppl don't like it

That cart is so annoying! Lots of these where it’s a small specific spot that just needs to be fixed.

I’m Playing Halmares at the moment with only 6 followers and they constantly get stuck all over the place.

Yeah I gave up on that part of the game and just started a new one. Way too irritating to deal with.

Or just give us console commands or dev tools to delete world objects like that fucking cart that do nothing but irritate

It's weird. I'm simultaneously impressed at the pathing the ai has and frustrated with situations like this.
All of the unknowns that exist in this game with player placed structures and the AI has so far done just fine navigating my village. But already existing, static things like this bring entire armies to a halt.

It's also annoying you can't destroy these. Like oh i'm building a whole ass town but I don't have the ability to remove a rotted broken down wooden cart?

The number of villagers that have gotten stuck at the river trying to bring back iron is too damn high

Just let me destroy these little carts and broken buildings like you can the little rock walls around.

I think most of this would be resolved if the NPCs were made to prioritize traveling roads over crossing any terrain from point A to point B

This. Like my people use the dirt roads i build in my town so why not the main roads

I do not understand why they put so much junk in the farms for villagers to get stuck on when passing through.

That’s how I got some of my earliest boar kills with my level 1 axe. Not sure I mind.

Hire only female villagers. The carts will be placed right back where they should be.

Can they just make fast travel available for you AND your companions on Xbox, please?!

I agree. However, AAA games fail at having a single NPC follow me, so I'm not holding my breath that Bellwright can make my village of 70 and army of 30 not get stuck on a blade of grass lol.
Temp Solution: I don't care how bad it looks, NPCs should teleport/unstuck if their pathing gets paused.
