April 22 [v0.1.6] Hotfix cause zois to be less chatty?

[Jenaverse]

I noticed my zois with relationships speak less to one another when left alone, dead air for 40 seconds to 1 minute (often times more) in real time. I'll initiate a topic, they will talk about that then nothing for few minutes, but they will make tons of speaking gestures at one another while nothing is showing up on the action bar que, no plus or minus gains either. I tested it with and without smart zoi, both with autonomy on.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Happens in real life to :D. Not much to talk about when you've already talked about it. I just go with it. my preference zois is an individualist they seem to talk all the time. And the chat system is interactive. They will stop talking if you dont keep picking the topics. when the little cat pops in and tells you to pick a topic now it means the convos going to end unless you add to it.

They want you to be involved with the zois convo. not just start and let it go kinda thing.

You’re misunderstanding my post. This happens with or without my involvement. Now the “hotfix” makes the zois appear idle even when they have talking gestures but nothing on the que, it looks bizarre especially with automation enabled.

I’m not talking about real life, idk why when I point out a malfunction in this game everyone jumps to real life scenarios. I’m talking about the game functionality. It went from normal automation to oddity automation.

I haven't noticed this issue and especially when my Zoi is at work , The other zois regularly come and interrupt what she is supposed to be doing , to start to chat and then others join in

The zois in my game save are not acting like that or normal (as normal as can be before the update), like I said it's an oddity. I will play a brand new game as I feel my old save could of been compromised by this last update, we will never know. The joys of early access bugs.
