gate closing bug 0.50.3

[oldseaweed]

I get character to close gate and every time he closes the gate and then just stands there, does not respond to commands except a jerk every time I click.
I have to save and reload to get him going again.

Did you try to check if he gets stuck there in the gate, pick him up with other character then place him other place to see if he answers.

I have had the same problem. It seems to effect a random number of people in my base at any given time, especially my engineer Zimm. Poor guy just can't seem to operate once the gate is closed. He just stands there despondently. Sometimes it clears up for a bit if I give him a short term job and cancel all his permanent jobs, and it seemed to be fine until bandits showed up, bashed in my gate, and I had to repair it . Maybe it's an issue with a 'new' gate? Like I said it only seemed to happen to me when the gate was first built, and then when I repaired it. (Extra frustrating, since it seems to have wrecked all my characters AI right after a fight, and I can't seem to get anyone to give first aid...)

As I said before he is not stuck at the gate, he just does not want to respond to command, if I right click to get him to move he just jerks 1 step and stops. I click several times and he moves along and stops.
I usually save and reload and he runs to do his job.
I noticed too that various characters are hard to respond to command from time to time especially if they have more than one job to do, I some time have to cancel a job to get them to move.
My wall enclosure has 3 gates and I noticed that some time a closed gate opens on its own or the other way around with nobody close by to activate it.
Otherwise the game is great and getting better. !like the sound/music very appropriate.

Same bug here. My main character just freezes and only moves a step when clicked. I'm not sure if it's a gate problem,and I do have two gates into my compound. I too have the gates randomly open themselves.

I do have to reboot the game and he works fine again.

Update:

When a character freezes, I open a gate and he runs towards the gate, then goes to where I had originally wanted him to go. He may freeze again and each time I open the gate he does the same thing.

No doubt a bug.
