    Nice Catch!

    I've rarely bothered to check if these bugs can be replicated, but I probably should start doing so.

    Especially since half the time they are classified as "low hanging fruit" as it's a simple adjustment of a waypoint to fix them.

    The problem with this wasn't a waypoint fix. Here's some inside info on quirks that sometimes slip past us devs: Sometimes, when we update a game object, it loses its ability to have the navmesh be created over it. The fix is pretty easy, but it's just as easy to not realize the problem has happened until days later. This issue happened with the main dock pieces and we didn't realize it right away. The object had been fixed a while back, but the navmesh was recreated in the middle period which meant NPCs couldn't walk on big chunks of the docks. All I had to do was rebake the NavMesh to fix it (which I did earlier today).

    Ah, so the navpoint was in the right place. It just wasn't getting processed properly. Yes, I've seen that before. I've also noted such navmesh bugs in the log files (via debug window) before, but rarely follow up on it, presuming they are moot and taken care of by redundancy in the navpoints.
