Summary

0009408: Miners won't channel straight down more than a few z-levels

Description

In the new version I can't seem to get miners to dig a single channel straight down over more than a couple Z-levels. Previously when I would designate a 1-tile vertical stack of channels across many z-levels, a miner would start digging from the top and then become trapped in the hole and thus have to keep digging until reaching the bottom. Now when I try to do this, they channel for only a few z-levels and then somehow climb out of the hole and give up.

I'm attaching a save as an example with a vertical channel shaft already designated straight down for the surface. Watch as a miner digs only a few z-levels down before crawling back out and then being unable to get back in:

Steps To Reproduce

Designate a single 1x1 vertical shaft for channeling many tiles straight down.

Miners climb out of vertical chutes while digging, refuse to continue

The miner got about 3 z-levels into it before climbing out and going back to "No Job". I swear I used to be able to do this in previous versions, this was my go-to method for building garbage chutes, etc.
