"hey lets pick up this harvested rice on top of a trap, what could go wrong!"



Simply, I do not understand why trap is eligible spot for item to go on! This is easily reproducible, see:



Anyways, suggested fixes:

1) Don't allow items to drop on traps.
2) Strict prohibition against haul or harvest jobs on top of traps. Since traps are now reinstallable, this should be no problem.

I'll think about it more but I'm not sure it's really a bug.

The best I could imagine is to have them preferentially place items not on top of traps, but it could add a lot of complexity to the placement algorithm, which is already complex. Plus any benefit will get balanced out. It may just be a matter of "keep your traps away from your work areas". Hmm. Anyway, not sure it's a bug-bug so I'll close it for now, thanks.
