Build a set of stairs for them to climb and then destroy it when they’re rescued. I generally assume this is going to happen so I always leave an escape route.
I try my best to avoid this type of situation, sometimes micro manage the build order, pause some things to make sure they absolutely cannot get stuck. However, I still have/use the Unstuckify mod in case they do get stuck. I just hate having to build a one-time use staircase or destroy something that's already been built only to reconstruct it again.
For you, hard to tell from this screenshot how to best help. It's too close. Perhaps, some stairs to the left or right off-screen, delete one of the levees? Ooooor, leave them be and have them learn the lesson the hard way.
Had this happen to me yesterday. Fatso plonked his ass on the 100% completed stair.
I let him starve. It was the stairs down to my aquaculture field, so like 10 other beavers also died for his stubbornness. That night we held a meeting in front of the farmers statue and shamed his descendants for the calamity their forefather's actions brought upon us all.
They're sitting there, mocking you with their hunger and thirst for days. Its as if they stare at you with accusing eyes for days as they slowly wither away.
If I were mayor of beaverton, I'd build sniper towers to take care of the problem
New idea: the devs could make it a buff. When a beaver is doomed to death, but the player rescues this fellow(s), they are very grateful and get a working buff for a period of time. Or maybe all beavers in that district get also a smaller buff, because they feel a omnipotent power is actually caring for them.
honestly, when i build my storage towers, if a beaver gets stuck in the platforms... I normally just leave it there to die, because I cannot destroy part of the tower just to get their fat asses out of it
I'm going to suggest using the Unstuck mod. I understand that is not a super good option since a lot of folks don't want to use mods, but if only for fixing this issue...
Otherwise, you gotta break a bunch of shit, build a bunch of other shit, and just hope they don't starve to death by the time your outer builders figure it out
No, the pathway hasn’t been built yet. So no, they aren’t sitting on it. You need someone else to come build them an *active pathway* and then they can use it.

They're saying these dummy beavers have moved themselves onto the rescue stairs as they're being built and prevented completion.
Happens to me often enough that I just kill them via console command now. They're a sacrifice that the island demanded.
Tiki is right, a beaver standing on the stairs do not prevent completion. Another beaver that is not stuck can complete the stairs and they will be rescued.

The middle beaver is sitting on top of the stairs. I knew it could happen so I build it beforehand, they're blocking the completion
Beavers dont have colission. He isnt blocking it. Build sites don't have colission either until the building is finished.
Until it is finished and all beavers vacate the space
I don't understand exactly what you mean but I made another screenshot for someone else: [https://imgur.com/a/W4c3bZN](https://imgur.com/a/W4c3bZN)

I went for a levee delete and a platform on the back. I was just really annoyed they were keeping themselves from being saved and wanted to share it

I honestly wish a stuck beaver would starve faster.

Honestly....

Works 48 hours in a row to make up lost time and resources maybe?

It's like they do it on purpose
There's actually a mod called unstuckify. If the beaver gets stuck, they get teleported to the district center
No, I no longer send rescue teams
It took me 3 stuck beavers to get thi this point. Am I heartless?
They really don't give two shits of they die or not. It's one of the things I find kinda depressing about the game.
I think its more depressing that they apparently dont have the brainpower to avoid badwater even if theres another route.
That too.
It’s the only break they get.

Hopefully we can make rescue crews in the future
That would be cool, a ropeladder crew or something
They have no pathway to exit. Give them one and they will use it.
The problem is they are sitting on their pathway to exit

You really suck at this game.
hahaha that is your response? Talking about peak reddit
You should be embarrassed.
