I have no idea what happened there. The colonists are supposed to haul the chunks into the killbox but the game says that they are forbidden (???), although there is no option to forbid chunks.
They are marked to be hauled even.

Tried to attach savegame (A13, no mods)

The reason they are forbidden is because all of your colonists are restricted to the Home area of the game, so they can't go out to pick those up. As an aside, some people may have issues opening .xy files, if you are using a Mac then you can compress files into a .zip by simply right clicking on the file and selecting "compress".

Aaah, thanks a lot!
Perhaps the message could be adjusted to be a bit more specify (differentiate between "thing forbidden", "cannot reach thing (no path)" and "cannot reach thing (movement restricted) to avoid future bloopers (by stupid users :D )

There will be a different message in A14 for when a thing is forbidden because it's outside of the allowed area.
