"Out of path-planning region" - probable cause for some civs not starting on their patrols

[Fusselwurm]

21:15:40 Out of path-planning region for C Alpha 1-2:1 at 3105.0,3658.0, node type Road
21:15:40 Error C Alpha 1-2:1: Invalid path from [3103.50, 13.18, 3658.50] to [3094.86, 13.63, 3661.11].

seems to show when civs dont start patrols

It is actually possible to attach "PathCalculated" EH to every unit (dont need agents for that!) - and it's easy to identify failing units by them not triggering the event in a timely manner.

this addEventHandler ["PathCalculated", {
	params ["_agent", "_path"];
}];

when I spawn vecs on a Tanoan island, waypoints on other islands seem to just... time out, without any error messages. 🤔

edit: that is, they disappear after some time (about a minute?). and the next waypoint is selected

[Fusselwurm]

a thought occurs: what if Out of path-planning region was actually a sensible error message telling me to not add waypoints off-map?
