I have been battling this issue all night as to why my recruit goes up about 3 stairs to follow me, then just turns around and goes back down and just stops at gound level. It turns out there must be a new bug with the way recruits handle the "no support" feature in foundations and flooring.
I made a Pagoda foundation, just basic on the ground level. I placed Bhutan Support Frames around for structure and build the Bhutan Upper floor with stairs. The Recruit fails to follow me upstairs at all.
As soon as I place an actual full foundation under the Bhutan Upper Floor (which now is defeating the ground level), the Recruit now is following me back upstairs as normal again.
I have tried placing many Tudor Support Pillars around to see if the flooring will allow Recruits, but it does not.
Edit as of 10/28/24: The Bhutan Upper Floor is what is causing the Recruits to not path. Edited Title.

This is still happening as of 3/22/25. no NPCs will walk on Bhutan upper floor, including pets who's beds are placed on them. Pets placed there will stand in their beds and not leave.
This is currently still happening as of 11/24/24
I have the same problem. My recruit can't stand on the Bhutanese upper floor and falls through to the ground.
Adding that this affects pets too. ;-;
They'll just sit in place and not wander~
Just updated the title to the actual issue of the Bhutan Upper Floor
I found out the issue: It is the Bhutan Upper Floor that is bugged. If I use that, the Recruit will not walk on it if it is elevated. As soon as I removed it and placed down something else, like the Pagoda Upper Floor, the Recruit came right up the stairs and started following me again.
I waited until the following day to relog back in, the recruit just hangs out at the beach-line. You can see me looking above in the window how far away the recruit is, and a zoomed in version. He won't even re-appear at me like he does when you are not in the immediate area. Bizarre!
