Prerequisites

  • I am running the latest alpha version of MineColonies and Structurize for my Minecraft version.
  • I checked the MineColonies/Structurize wiki and made sure my issue is not covered there.
  • I made sure that this issue is not a duplicate of any existing issue.

Context

  • Minecraft Version: 1.16.4
  • MineColonies Version: minecolonies-0.13.547-ALPHA-universal
  • Structurize Version: structurize-0.13.104-ALPHA-universal

Expected behavior

Gates should always be closed after a colonist goes through them, unless left open by a player. Note: they do get ignored if left open by a player, I'm assuming this is intentional.

Actual behavior

If a gate is opened by a colonist when disconnecting or otherwise unloading the colony, it will be left open and ignored by the colonist after the colony is reloaded.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Wait for a colonist to open a gate to the pen in one of the huts.
  2. Disconnect before the colonist closes the gate. May take a few tries to get the timing right.
  3. When you reconnect, the colonist will leave the gate open.

Notes

Doors may also be affected, but the real problem is the gates to the pens in the animal huts, as this allows the animals to escape. I don't know much about how things work internally, but this might be fixable by checking the status of gates and doors when the buildings load, at least for the animal huts?

  • Add a thumbs-up to the bug report if you are also affected. This helps the bug report become more visible to the team and doesn't clutter the comments.

We've discussed this internally. It's very complex to solve. So we've decided on "It's not a bug, it's a feature".
Citizens are not machines, they're not perfect, occasionally they leave doors and pens open. It gives the players something to do here and there as well.
@ravenbuilder934 could add to the wiki to the herders that this could happen occasionally and the player has to solve it.
