Continuation of suggestion 207 (although technically a bug)

[hexed horizon]

either too many pawns on one blueprint causing them to not finish it or theres a problem with blueprints in the new update, since @gentle field also seemed to have this problem

[gentle field]

Yeah exactly, sometimes my game is completely blocked because i edited a blueprint while my pawns were doing something and after they never finish they're job. Sometimes when there's a lot of pawns (20-25) it seems that when i ask them to build something they leave before finishing it and after a few minutes a pawn decided to finish it. (For a blacksmith in survival I had to wait 10minutes !!!)

[hexed horizon]

were you on the newest update? seems like thats the problem since i finished this same blueprint on 1.1.2

[gentle field]

Idk, the last time this bug happened was in the 1.1.1 update, since i was very careful to not lose my world again 🙂

I can confirm this happens to me aswell

Too many pawns working on one thing means it will never get done

[solemn ibex]

This is the most annoying and game blocking issue right now, I will invest into it with highest priority

Do you have any ideas on how I can reproduce the issue clearly? Any steps to follow to make them stop working

[sage basalt]

I haven’t managed to get them to halt entirely, but often if some of the pawns are stuck they won’t work. Or if you have a large amount of pawns and most of them are not nearby it will slow to a snail’s pace

[hexed horizon]

i think too many pawns and pawns not being in loaded chunks are the main causes

also seems much more likely to happen if they have to mine a layer before building

and it seems like the more blocks it is the more likely it is to fail

[sage basalt]

That is not the issue oddly

[sage basalt]

Forcing pawns to load the chunks they are in does not fix the issue
