Summary0011919: Citizens capable of flight can get stuck in open space
DescriptionThe pathfinding algorithm for citizens seems to never consider open space for finding a path, even if the unit can move through it. This normally wouldn't be a problem, but flier citizens sometimes will lift above the ground for some reason and will get stuck there.
Steps To Reproducehttps://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=16110 [^]

Just load this save and keep following the barn own man. Eventually, he'll try to haul a log and get stuck 1 Z level above the ground. This might be a different bug on its own (why is he trying to lift off while hauling?), but showcases this pecualiarity of pathfinding: once a flying citizen is in open space, they won't ever be able to path to somewhere else and will be stuck.

I got this to happen three times in a row, now whenever I load that save and follow the unit, the bug won't happen. Fantastic.

This is an old one. I remember it happening in old forts where you tried to do this with mods. It happened a good deal with tamed [FLIER] animals as well. Having trouble finding the specific bug report (maybe it doesn't exist). Here's the closest one I could find, which isn't a duplicate but just a related problem: 0002286

Just follow the albatross woman on her way to dump a log
