[A16] Better Pathfinding (v1.5.2 update 2/22)

[Zhentar]

Indeed. I've posted the fix release now.

[Alenerel]

In some scenarios it lags like hell, I think it gets stuck somewhere. I have experienced it two times, but it ended up solving itself before I thought of saving it.

[hiepbg]

Sometime my colonist freeze when they build the war or haul stone block to the pending wall.
And the game start lagging.

I'm using lastest version.

Is there anything in the dev mode log/output_log.txt?

Yes.  There is it.

Looking at the code, I can't see any way this mod would cause that exception (even though it is pathing related, the exception would have to be caused by an invalid Pawn, from my understanding of it). If you share your save file & mods folder with me, I can investigate further.

Sr, but i don't keep the save file.
I remember when i enable debugger option, it shows:

Same Issue here, it completely destroys my FPS down to like 3 or 4.

Hey Zhentar, I want to complain too! I tried to set this thread to 'unnotify', but I keep getting notified anyway. I am always seeing people complain about this great mod and it is driving me insane. Better Pathfinding is fantastic, I'm sick of this negativity. I'm feeling very negative about it. Better Pathfinding is doing a lot of good and it's time somebody stood up and said something about it I just wanted to bring some positivity to this thread.

[Seinne]

Didn't know you were getting shit on, so I'll voice my support too. Great mod, and I never drop below 60fps ever.
Using this with at least 3 dozen mods also, no errors form this mod.

[Knedl]

I vote for support too, this is a MUST mod so keep up the awesome work. In regards to two previous bug posts - it happened to me that when you have an area where you set up roof to be build but the pawn can't get to that tile this is what happened. So check if you have any inacessible build roof spots. Sometimes there is also an error when two pawns want to get a meal from the same tile in the same tick. My guess is that pawn wants to build roof but can't get to it. Hope it helps.

[biship]

Best mod ever.

[hiepbg]

Even the best software still has some bugs. Reporting bugs only make this mod greater more

There is no negativity here. Please do keep supporting it

[PaoLorenz]

So far I did not experience anything negative... and my silly pawns stopped wading through marsh water instead of circling the small body of water to get to their destination.
I am content, by far.
Will stay alert for any potential bug, but with a "normal" PC and like 40 mods, still all works smoothly.
Thank you !

No negativity here now Of course people should report bugs, but I have never seen so much reporting for one mod. I'm sure that's due to the complexity of it (Tynan even asked how it works). IMHO we should show more appreciation for the mods we like as well as report problems.
