Climbable area limit?

[ManateeMan]

I'm mid-way through building an exhibit for my orangutans. I have finished the indoor house, which has a huge climbing structure, all working well, as shown:

But now I come to build the outside part and I suddenly find that the Orangutans are unable to climb the structure that I have built them, using the same pieces as inside:

My climbable area is pretty big, but as there is no limit for habitat area (or maybe there is) I assumed there was none for climbable elements. I did try deleting some inside objects and the heat map briefly showed climbable outside, and this stayed when re-installing the inside items. But after I added some more items it was gone again.

I did wonder if it was just lagging in terms of showing the climbable area as there is so much? But grateful if anyone else has any ideas on this?

It's tough for us to tell from the picture, but if none of the starting climb points that reach the ground are navigable, the whole thing wont generate. So, in the second picture, everything in view looks like it's far away from the blue navmesh, whereas the first pic you can see the route where the animal can get up from the ground. If you're absolutely sure the Orangutans should be able to climb using the items you have placed, we're happy to investigate the map manually. We can do so if you send your save file to community@frontier.co.uk!

I just posted in the update thread if this is a new bug since 1.2.4 but I had to go in and press edit on my existing climbing structures and then they recalculated and work fine. May not be what you are experiencing but worth a try.

Thanks, but didn't work for me...

I did try editing a bit, and the climbing structure merged with the blue navmesh, but is still not showing as climbable. But I will send my save file in...
