Kelvin is now basically useless.

[Jala769]

The only two materials he will grab for me now are stones and rocks. he won't grab sticks and he isn't grabbing logs for me now either.

I do agree Kelvin's a bit of a flop, but he's collecting most everything for me with intermittent success. Though he does seem to go for stupidly long hikes ignoring an abundance of the target resource along the way...
His pathing/goal selection is definitely borked.

In my case Kelvin is a burden. He only cut logs an gather stones. I have to gather everything now myself. Even sticks

[Lonewulfe50]

After Patch 8 Kelvin is not finding sticks anymore? Haven't tried logs yet?

[Babbuwawa]

What people actually use him for something? I just like defending him

[MacGyver]

he worked fine for me. he got fish, sticks, stones, rocks, logs, filled my sled and all the holders. maybe your save is bugged. i start a new game every update.

Yes they have changed something, I also noticed that he seems to be having trouble picking up sticks.

Not exactly, i wanted kelvin to gather sticks and rocks. Right now he cant pick sticks unless you show him where they are and be 5-10 meters from you. I have to do all the work myself. Its a great but they are doing many staf that breaking the gameplay

[Sholomar]

Seems like Kelvin only gathers sticks in places sticks are laying around now instead of just randomly spawning them out of thin air. If I walk from the beach to the woods he will gather some sticks, but only if they are in his vicinity. Personally I prefer the pre-patch behavior of Kelvin. He's largely useless now. It's like you have to walk with him for him to do anything.

I'll take him somewhere remote and put him out of his misery until the next patch, then save file revive him.

Its all tied to yours and Kelvins position. If you're on the top of a mountain or in a desert (for sake of example) the option to catch fish, get berries won't be available. Grab sticks or get rocks should always be an option regardless though.

Just wish the turtle shells could stack, or you could have Sir Kevins go get them.,

Unless something really did change very recently that I haven't noticed and is a bug which needs to be fixed...I never understood player's problems with Mr. K. So I'd like to offer some help and find out what each person is neglecting or isn't doing right. I've never had any issues at all and it's just about knowing how to manage him and a few little details to this end. But these have already been discussed, so instead of listing all the things here which I'd be assuming are the problem(s), somebody give more information about how you do things and the factors in play...and I'll try to see what is the problem in each case.

[Phénomènes Mystiques]

Kelvin seems fine, but still has that creepy stare...

What they mean is he won't do it after being told. I have the same problem of telling him to finishing structures or fill log holders but then he just won't do it. It's not a matter of being out of range cause he'll nod yes and then lay down or just stand there.

No. Collects still everything for me.
But he takes his time for that.
If you don't threat kelvin well, he starts working inefficient or may even refuse working at all.
