Stuck Norns?

I love the Norngardens but I've noticed that Norns like to get stuck in one place. I've replaced the original elevator with the elevines because I sort of hate the original elevators, but they got stuck in the same place even with the old elevator. They get stuck somewhat less now but still bad enough that they get over crowded and slap each other to death.

Is there any way I can replace the elevines with a better elevator, or is there anything else I can do?

What kinds of drives do your 'stuck norns' have? It could be a similar situation to where the norns get stuck at the join of the C3 ark to DS?

Are you sure this isn't Eat Elevator Syndrome? My creatures get stuck in that area a lot too, but so far it appears that they only get stuck there in the first place because they're afflicted!

I think they are usually hungry or bored. What sort of problem does the door from the Ark to the Capillata have? It's been a while since I've used a docked ship and can't remember.
Edit: Ugh, it might be Eat Elevator syndrome. They say they are "pushing elevator" but never do unless I snap them out of it, or another creature does. Placing some food around the elevator seems to break them out of their trance. So I think that was it. Thanks Leporidae! I'd forgotten DS norns were prone to trying to do that...

Ask them if they're 'low down' or 'trapped' - if they're 'low down' then they want to use the elevator, and if they're 'trapped' they want to use the door. CAs and You explains more about how norns move about.

The area where the Ark and the Capillata dock has a lift and a door very close by each other - norns that feel trapped want to use the door (which they can't), so they get confused and stuck - the way Vampess's fix works is by changing the CATO so that creatures see it as a door and use it as such.

Now that you mention it, one or two have said that they felt trapped there before. I just added a door next to the elevator, and that seems to work.

I'm glad it seems to work for your norns! :D

You could always try releasing a Grendel loose, I'm sure they'd scatter as soon as they caught sight of it!

I am using NG1, NG2 and sometimes NG4. Mine never get stuck in that place there.
I guess it is because I don't use the Xmas version, assuming that is where that funny door leads I've never seen before.
