Pals are NOT eating the food even though they can acces it

For anyone experiencing pals not eating/working and getting injuries while you are away exploring, and you and your pals falling in the ground at your base.

I was also having all these issues on another save. Made the game unplayable really. What I couldn't understand is why it was only effecting some players, and not everyone, so decided to do a test. All builds are all on a single player game.

I started 2 more saves building in the same location, and had all the same problems. To be exact, my 1st few bases were built behind the Desolate church, in the area below off the cliff. I then started another save, and made my way to the other side of the map to start a base. Forgotten island, in the south west on top of a little mountain.

I dropped my pal box down there and logged out. Re-entered the game and I didn't fall under the terrain like I always did before. Decided to give it a try. Built up the base, left and did things in different parts of the map. Everything was fine, and continues to be fine. This base is purring like a kitten with 20 pals in it. I built a second base on a part of the same mountain, just one layer down, and it is also functioning with zero issues.

Some areas of the map are just broken. I have no idea why some areas are a complete mess, but I would bet it probably has something to do with the low level oil rig ( that also has horrible AI for enemies and pals) they added to the game. I had built in that 1st location by the church many times, and never had a issue before.

So it isn't the pal AI that is completely broken, it is most likely the area you built in. There could be other areas that are messed up, I did not try building everywhere, found one that works and am sticking to it. So if you are having issues, try moving your base to a entirely different location from the one it's in.

Right, I forgot about this.
When the map moved/expanded a bit to accommodate new areas, it broke a lot of the pathing nodes and they never fixed them. Location matters. The new oil rigs have terrible to no pathing nodes for example.

Looks like a lot of issues may have just been fixed tonight.
They've released a hotfix to fix a ton of bugs.

・Fixed a bug that would cause characters to fall under the terrain when logging in, etc.
・Fixed a bug that would cause Pals at the base to stop moving on dedicated servers
・Fixed a bug that would cause tower bosses to stop moving
・Fixed a bug that would cause the attack chopper to fly too high
・Expanded the weak spots on the attack chopper
・Summoned Pals will now run back to the player if they get too far away during combat
・Summoned Pals will no longer move out of the way if the player is aiming in their vicinity
・Fixed a bug that caused some active skills to be interrupted when attacked
・Fixed a bug where the work speed displayed on the Pal Details screen was different between the host and client
・Fixed some terrain bugs
・Fixed the spawn positions of some NPCs
・Fixed a bug that caused the work speed buff from food to be lower than expected
・Fixed several crashes
・Many other minor bug fixes

Not sure about Oil Rig movement, but at the very least, they've stated they've fixed the issue of spawning under the terrain.
And have fixed Pals not doing anything on dedicated servers when no one's there.

The actual list of tonight's fixes is much longer, but I trimmed it for length.

Yeah Pals at my hexolite base are stuck as well. I have 5 Anubis there and when I show up they are "STARVING - MAJOR INJURY - DEPRESSED". I have a medication station stocked with hundreds of everything, but until they start moving they don't take their meds.

I think this update addresses this
Happened to me too on dedicated

you can try my method where I have all the pals in the box and only take them out when I need something then they go back in the box where they don't need to eat and they recover their san
