My Colonists Won't Take Orders

[sleepy]

I just started a new game with a bunch of mods, and it turns out that I can't issue any orders to my colonists and they won't do any work at all.

After setting up stockpile zone and unforbidding everything the colonists just stand around "wandering". When I click on a pawn and then try to manuall issue orders, the order doesn't show up when I click on the item to haul it

Anyone experienced this issue, or know what could possbly be causing it?

The colonists aren't drafted are they? I don't think so because you say they are "wandering". The "Work" tab is setup for colonists to do the work you want done?

I'm just throwing those out there but am sure it's a mod misbehaving. Start deactivating mods to find the one that is not working correctly.

It's 100% a bug. I know how it is supposed to work. Turns out it indeed was a broken mod. Really sucks since the game takes literally 30 minutes to load with all of the mods I have installed.

This mod should help with your load-times, if you don't already have it. i have no personal experience with it yet, but I hear it helps a lot of people.

Had this happen a few times in my games. It is usually a mod issue, and for me at least, it turns out to be caused by a single mod or two.

Not sure what your response means, but if you meant that the RIMMSLoadUP didn't fix the no orders bug, that mod isn't intended to do that. It just speeds up mod loading speeds, which would really help determine which mod is causing the problem when you go in ans shut off suspect mods trial and error style.

For what its worth, for me sometimes it's faction mods that mess with pawn physiology that causes the problem. Or Faction mods.

A list of the mods you are using might help. Also try discord if you have not already.

Out of like 15 pages of mods that I have installed, the issue was that I had installed one mod twice, and for some reason that was causing an issue. I just disabled one of those mods and it works fine now.

The load mod doesn't do ♥♥♥♥ for me. I have to wait ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 30 minutes for the game to load from OS to the game menu.
