[2022] Cannot Reach Item Glitch?

I've noticed this for a couple players that had accidentally blocked off items in inaccessible containers. Because props are pathing obstructions now, it's easy to build containers and block off items. Sounds like this isn't the case for you, but worth a check. When you click the notification, where does it take you? Does it take you to an item that's in the same room/pathing area as the entity trying to do the job?

I'd love to take a look at the save to help put out a fix for the issue. You can follow these steps to send me your save:

No pressure to of course. I know it's super annoying to email it along.

I have some fixes coming in soon for items being inaccessible and consequently keeping entities from starting other jobs. Again, due to items being blocked off in containers. Sorry you're experiencing such a frustrating bug.

I mean, that's expected, though. The point of the notification is to tell you they can't reach something, so in this case, that's good to know as the player.

Just sent you a reply to the email, but, in case others have a similar issue, they are not able to reach a bunch of items that are at the bottom of a lake in a cave. You just need to build some ladders to let the settlers reach those items and then you'll stop getting that notification.

Agreed. I believe I have a fix coming in for this sort of thing in the next patch.
