All terrain is now unpathable terrain

Just built my town up to 460 villagers and all of a sudden every tile is unpathable on the entire map, everywhere, even on tiles I have already built on. Flattening it does not work, I get the message that villagers cannot reach the building on every single building that I have built and on some they are idling for that reason. I tried reloading a previous save and excessive flattening and it does not fix it. Any ideas?

Veirfy the game files and make sure all your drivers are up to date.

As Medea said, did you verify game files? If yes, and the issue persists, could you please upload that save?

Saves are located in:
C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\my games\Farthest Frontier\Save
Zip up the entire TownName_###### folder along with the .map file and .sav that reproduces the issue. If the files are too big, you can use a service such as Google Drive to share it with us.

Hi all. Yes I carried out Medea’s instruction with no result. The problem started when I tried to place an arborist a few meters north-west of the large graveyard located directly west of the mountain. I also ensured that villagers could reach the town centre by using the flattening tool and even relocating the town centre building, but with no effect. Interestingly the buildings on the mountain are not labelled with a “may be unreachable by villagers” icon. Also, even though that label is on all buildings that are not on the mountain, not all are unreachable by the villagers, with some industrial buildings working and others not.

Below is the game folder. With the most recent saves of “IronRidge 101” and “Mountain fortress” exhibiting the issue.

You will need to make the files public.

should work now?

Looking at your save, your Town Center is up on an unreachable hill (the roads leading up to it are too steep). Any building that cannot path to the town center throws up that unreachable warning you are seeing.

As I mentioned in an earlier message, that is what I suspected too but the town centre is reachable. Villagers can walk to it. It has been like that the entire game until I got to around 460 villagers. I even tried to relocate the town centre off the hill but it did not change the situation.

Villagers may be clipping through the path mesh there as a failsafe, but as far as the game is concerned, it cannot detect a valid route. If you smooth out those roads so they are not as steep, your issue should be resolved.

Appreciate the quick response! I will try it soon and get back to you.

Yes, I did more flattening and now it works. Thanks heaps!!

While I have the floor, can you guys please edit the professions screen so we can hold down the + or - buttons to add or remove villagers assigned to asks rather than clicking incessantly. It would really make a huge difference, especially when we get to around 500 villagers and need to reassign professions for upto 200 villagers each year or season or when getting raided. It is too much clicking! Thank you

Try Shift- Ctrl- click :wink:

All this time!!!
