Fix 1 — insert_fixture now updates ChunkData bitsets:
Log trunks (can_stand_in=false) now block movement in is_standable.
Leaf canopy (can_stand_in=true) remains walkable.
Fix 2 — Diagonal-aware collision avoidance:
Sidestep priority: left+forward, left, right+forward, right.
If all blocked: push through (excuse me), advance path, apply one-step
delay (speed-modulated recovery). Does not stack delays.
Fix 3 — Movement direction tracking:
Ambulatory now has move_direction (Vec2) and step_history ([i16; 4]).
TileOccupancy tracks per-tile direction hints for Stage 2 collision
(convoy skip, E/S yield) via direction_at().
move_direction is smoothed from: 2 historical steps, current confirmed
step, and 2-step path lookahead.
Ignore: add *.patch and *.diff to .gitignore
collision_delay was causing entities to skip step_recovery ticks, freezing
movement whenever the next tile was occupied. Combined with the ordering fix
(collision_delay placed before step_recovery), entities were stuck at
path_index=0 indefinitely in spawn clusters.
Remove collision_delay entirely — step_recovery already provides the
per-tick pacing, and the natural next-tick retry (via left-step or
normal movement) handles occupied tiles without an artificial delay.
Actual thresholds (grass weight=50): dorfs move after 6 ticks, pigs after
26 ticks, rabbits after 2 ticks. Without collision_delay interference,
movement is now governed purely by step_recovery.
- Add TileOccupancy resource and rebuild_tile_occupancy system to track
per-tile entity counts for soft collision avoidance
- Add collision_delay to Ambulatory; entities try relative-left step on
occupied tiles, wait 1 tick, then push through
- Fix leaf canopy standability: leaves are now can_stand_in=true,
can_stand_on=false (walkable, not standable-on)
- Delete FloorTilePrefab / FixtureTilePrefab / FloorTile / FixtureTile /
TileState (all fully dead — TileMap + ChunkData are sole truth)
- Delete tile_spawns from TerrainBlob (populated but never consumed)
- Delete leaf ghost entity spawn in forestry (orphaned invisible ECS entity)
- Replace log prefab spawn with inline commands.spawn(Transform, Visibility)
- Add TileMap::remove_fixture for future digging/explosion use
- Skip collision avoidance when current tile has >2 entities (handles spawn
cluster deadlock)
- Add validation_cooldown field to Ambulatory component
- Implement validate_next_steps to check walkability of next 3 path nodes
- Integrate validation into movement system (every 10 frames)
- Trigger re-path when validation fails (path blocked or invalid)
- Entities now detect and recover from invalid paths automatically
