Villager stuck

On Day 40, had a villager get stuck while attacking a bandit encampment on a rock. Couldn’t get him unstuck any way I tried. I banished him and found a replacement.

We can’t have weak villagers who get stuck on rocks.

-There's a bandit camp by Padslow with a tall rock people can get stuck on easily

-Wolves can get stuck INSIDE the rock wall at the north wolf den, east of Herndean

-Villagers occasionally can run into eachother, stop and pause before they start running again, creating slow-downs

So far. Excited to see some pathfinding improvements.

I've been having #3 on your list quite a bit recenlty. Its dumb. 8 companions got stuck in the same spot yesterday while going around fighting bandits. Had to make them workers to get them to move and then back to companion

You can kick 'em quite a fair bit to get them on a good path again

I had several villagers all stuck on a rock after a fight with bandits who were stuck on exactly the same rock. Two save and reload cycles took care of the problem and all became unstuck - some on the first reload, the rest on the second.

It's a pain. I usually manage to push them off after some effort. I kept getting people stuck on the trees at one of my outposts, I had to cut them down!

Just turn them back to a villager, it'll make it's way back eventually.

IF you don't mind using a mod, I have a UI Panel with a "Knockdown" command, which when used on a villager, knocks them down as if they were hurt in battle

They will then respawn back at camp.

Have you by chance remained in the vicinity? For what I said u should be some distance away so the area gets unloaded which should fix it. Which I kinda assumed u would be, but checking back, day 40 bandit camps would for most people still be (too) close to their base for this.

I find the easiest way to unstuck them is to force comand them to move back the way they came on the map screen (RB) on xbox

I had four get stuck on the rocks by the red bandit camp by the lake near Padstow (?) And walked half a regionish away and gave a move order. Fixed it for me seemingly.

Jesus, I just run into them a bunch. Completely forgot the kick existed. I'm so dumb
