unsure if a bug or just weird follower AI

[no longer Russian Bee]

So i had a follower die due to exhaustion or something (succeeded when they did a task i gave them, but before I could tell them to go to bed they "died of illness") After that, none of my followers would do refine materials even if I went to the work menu and set that as their primary work place. I also took away my tabernacles since im done with my unlocks and wanted to see if reducing the amount of activities they were offered would help.

Just kind of feel like the follower AI has been a little wonky lately.

Never had a follower die from exhaustion before, especially after a mission. They always came back half tired. Unsuccessful missions will still return so they can give you their last words before keeling over on the spot, though.

As for the workers not working, that's a common bug. Save and reload fixed it every time for me.

i wonder if they exhaustion icon override the sick icon, but non of my villagers were sick prior to that, and my cult was clean. Who knows i guess.

I think I had that happen when I sent followers on a mission under the influence of shrooms and the ritual ran out while they were gone. They came back successfully but immediately keeled over when they gave me their goods, think the combination of exhaustion and post-shroom illness did them in.

Followers have always been broken. Save your game, quit, and restart it and they've always went back to normal... until they stopped, and I just redo it to start them again. This applies to basically every bug including no longer being able to interact with followers, followers stuck outside of temple walking in place, followers no longer doing their work, etc.
