Pathfinder issues resulting in "extremely busy"

Fixed
Gnorok [github] · 4 years ago

Describe the issue
Trucks are stalling because they are waiting for pathfinding (a lot of trucks standing around despite "extremly busy")

Expected behavior
Trucks should do their job, lazy drivers ;-)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Load attached save '028'

Additional context

  • Game version: 0.4.4c

Attachments
save file:
028.save

log:
22-06-17_20-59-29_7854.log

Edit after trying to fix the issue:

  • more detailed description: some trucks behave normal, some trucks drive a short distance, stop for a while, drive a short distance, stop...
    Status is always "queued and waiting".

  • short term workaround was to disable the loose storage for rocks near the gold deposit; after that all settled to "stable" with 30 trucks idle;
    The dumping site was at the other end of the island. Maybe the pathfinder struggles with long distance calculations???

Please add a timeout if a vehicle is stalled and cannot enter an area. Pop up an error message and then auto-release the vehicles to another task. And auto- blacklist the area if feasible.

The auto mode settings in builidings does not work. This is one reason for the problems in the first place. Adding belts and pipes that block the areas should automatically eliminate this issue.

Work around: I have started connecting as much as possible with belts and pipes. This helps a lot.
And I manually set buildings input and output to off to help with this issue after placing pipes and belts.

+1 on this issue, playing on the you shall not pass map, trucks having to go to base and all the way to the top causes the issue also, all of my trucks move for 2sec, then pause for 5 in "queued and waiting" even if they are far away from their destination.
See attached savegame (on 0.4.5)
