[A14.1249] Pawns Ignore Area Restrictions to Trade

[Zoppa]

Hello there!

First off, this might be the same or very close related to this issue: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=24429.msg250733#msg250733

I just noticed something odd just now. The "toxic fallout" event triggered for me, so I set up a restricted area which covered the part of my base that was connected through roofs. A similar area was set up for my domestic animals and both pawns and animals complied to this. I.e. when trying to prioritize hauling something that was outside of this zone, the game wouldn't let me. The command message says something like "Cannot prioritize ( ... is outside of allowed area)".

However, there were some traders passing by, so I thought a quick peek into the fallout to trade some stuff might come in handy. Without any restriction, I could tell my pawn to trade with someone well outside of the allowed zone. "Proof" of this, is that the pawn was unable to haul the new items because of the zone restriction. I showed the above message and yes, I'm sure it was a pawn capable of hauling

Seeing this from the perspective of the pawns being restricted to an area, this looks like a bug to me...although to be fair: I wanted them to move out of that zone anyway for this trade...but I guess in other situations that would be a problem.

I was playing on RimWorld 0.14.1249 rev942, savegame and logs as attachment.
