eating in stand bug while chair and table are available
Hi guys, I already earlier encounterd a bug, that my survivers won't sit down after I moved my table/chair group. I noticed, that in some cases while moving the chairs don't really "dock" to the table, so for the system they are just scattered around.
Usually after I moved the table seperatly again and after that's done move the chairs to the table the bug is gone.
Currently I startet a game for the "Crazyness"-Achievment (hardest gameplay with chaos moon), the next attack is currently on the way an one of my suvivors is really stressed and very hungry - not a good time to risk a collapse and genral no good situation to waste time by decorating the furnate again and again. I already moved it as described above but still my survivors do not eat sitting.

Knows anyone this bug and it's exact conditions or how to avoid it?

Happy gaming!

Hmm, maybe a language translation issue.

Try moving the table first, then move the chair so that the chairs will "dock" with the table. I find this report strange because survivors will eat on foot if there is no chair even if "eat on foot" is not enabled. That's preferable instead of starving.

I play Insane/Chaos a lot and never had a single meltdown. Schedule > Anything and sleep from 2000-2400. They'll take breaks and eat as needed.

I see this happen from time to time. Simply rotating the table or the chair seems to solve it once you catch them doing it.

Ah, "on foot" is the english term - thanks :)
Well, I head here my first meltdown ever and it was just inattentive in the start - dealing with attacks every three days was surprising (I play trade scenario and before my hardest was.. well, hard) to me and so I was not good prepared to defend attacks that early.
However, I will try to rotate them again. But yes, the behave of my survivors is as if there are not sitting location at all.

I just started again from a spot before I moved the tables. Again, my survivers stop eating sitting and only eating on foot. Very annoying. Any other idea what could happened? Are there known issues in the way "if the table stands near a fence, then..." or so?

Add a screenshot so we can see if there is something wrong with the setup perhaps ?

I've noticed this bug when I move the chairs and table from one room to another in a house. Seems OK moving it from outside to inside. I normally just deconstruct and make new tables and chairs and it's fine.

I don't see here any possibilty to share screenshots :(
After a night they accepted the new place.

I had the idea, that maybe the "order queue" makes here trouble. It could be, that while the charakter was still doing other stuff while the furniture was moved, the decision to eat was already put in the queue. And I could imagine, the "how to eat" is then determined and so he was eating on foot, even if the re-location was already done if he ate.
That would also explain, while this bug seems only to occurr a directly after relocating.

After over 100 gameplays, I guess the reason why I never encountered this was I've only done it once and realized what a waste of time to move tables/chairs. When I build a nicer home, I always build new table/chairs. It's much faster than moving. I leave the old table/chairs where they are so that folks out working in the fields may use them to "finish previous meals". Later, I'll deconstruct them.
