Is food and the ingredients just bugged?

[RainaMermaid]

When my zoi makes food, or orders food and takes it out of their bag, they always put it on a dresser and I have to tell them to go eat it. They rarely will eat at the kitchen table or even the living room, just randomly go to a dresser?

And when I harvest plants/veggies, they collect one at a time and randomly place them on a desk where I cannot interact with them again. It's a big hassle of moving them then trying to get them to put them in their bag.

Is there a trick to this or is this just a bug?

same for me, seems to be a bug though because in the discord others tried to give me tips to fix it but there isnt a single run ive done where its worked properly

- Improved behavior so Zois now eat food immediately after cooking

I updated and they're still putting it on the dresser or desk :/

In my build, the zois put the cooked food plate on the dinning table, then eat (immediately, as of 4th Apr hotfix patch). They also use the same table to place whatever items are in their bag. The room and furniture is a pre-built apartment in the game.

The game may have a "default table" logic - perhaps choose the nearest one, or a table within an influence zone near the kitchen platform. This works well for the pre-built room and furniture layouts. But may not in custom builds. (Is your home/room custom built?)

Try this as a test. Replace the dresser or any table they use to place cooked food plates with a dinning table or a table of your choice (using the house build interface). Move the dresser they use, away to another location. If they start using the newly placed table, it is probably a "place the plate zone" logic. You can then customise the room furniture layout to your choice. If they seek the previous, now moved dresser, the cause for their attachment to that particular piece of furniture is puzzling. Either way, it is a story for the feedback channel on discord.

Perhaps placing the plates and in-bag items on a particular piece of furniture, is an influence zone relative to the room layout or the kitchen platform, and works well with the pre-built room and furniture layouts.

For me it's specifically a dresser in one bedroom and a desk in another. One of my zois will eat food if they make it themselves now right away since the patch, but the other wont. Also, if they take food out of their bag they just put it down anywhere and won't eat it.
