Settler will not work outside the allowed area
Restricted settlers only work and interact inside their restriction zone. A job outside that area is a documented configuration constraint; inspect Restrict before assuming an idle settler has a pathfinding bug. [2]
1.3.3 improves getting unstuck between objects
The 1.3.3 developer notes improve pathfinding when getting out from between two objects or corners. This is the precise behavior covered by the change; it is not a declaration that every pathfinding failure is fixed. Compare a report’s location and movement behavior with this entry and the separately documented settler restriction-zone rules. [1]
1.3.3 requires the server or host to update
The developer requires servers and hosts to update for patch 1.3.3. Steam’s Game Versions & Betas tab provides older versions when players need to coordinate versions. [1]
Documented steps
- Have the server or host install the patch before troubleshooting a version mismatch. Coordinate the selected game version through Steam’s Game Versions & Betas tab. [1]
Inspiring happiness buff did not always refresh
Patch 1.3.3 fixes the Inspiring personality sometimes failing to refresh its happiness buff correctly. It is a personality-specific fix, rather than a general guarantee that a settler’s happiness will stay high. For an idle settler, distinguish this former buff-refresh defect from work restrictions and the job-category settings documented in the settlement guide. [1]
Pirate Captain summoned with a Message in a Bottle
The same patch fixes Pirate Captain not dropping the deep ladder when summoned by Message in a Bottle. Keep the summoning method in the comparison: the fix explicitly concerns that method, so it should not be broadened into an all-boss loot repair or advice to reset the world. [1]
Settler equipment transfer and filter fixes
Patch 1.3.3 fixes equipment changes made through conversation failing to load correctly in the filter, and armor or weapons failing to quick-transfer into settler equipment. These are recorded fixes. [1]
