How can I stop my character from automaticlly ditching resources?

[Lycon]

I gave my main guy some food because hes going on an adventure witha squad but everytime he stops moving he runs back to base to ditch the food in the food container. But I didnt give him the order to, the food is meant for them! How do i stop this?

turn off ditch items in the AI control panel

But then none of them will ditch items ever? Even those who need to do it?

turn off job for the character

I'm have this probelm as well. And most don't have a job to turn off. Its causeing them to starve since they wont keep the food in there inventory

This drove me crazy until I finally realized that you just click the 'job' button off. They will not do anything except defend themselves, get food from a food barrel, and bandage (self preservation) if the 'job' button is off.
Now, before I set out to travel, I select all of my people and turn the 'job' button off. When I return to an area with jobs to do, I turn the 'job' button back on.
This is also useful for when you want to round up everyone in your city to defend/repair the gate and don't want them to turn back and start mining again while the gate is being destroyed.

Hate to Necro BUT....this isnt true. I have characters all with jobs and ditching OFF and they still run to drop things while doing tasks

It is a buggy system to be sure but if food is an issue I recommend making a food storage bin full of food and turning off jobs. They will go to the bin and get food then turn jobs back on and they will go back to their task.
