They don't eat

[Tchey]

Hello,

Too often, i have a toon dying of starvation, for no reason.

In my current game, my miner is at 35 but keep mining deep.
I manually cancel all mining orders.
Miner goes up to his bedroom.
Waiting, not even sleeping.
He is not tired or anything special.
Waiting, not even sleeping.
Dead.

Reload.

I manually cancel all mining orders.
Miner goes up to his bedroom.
I manually move the miner to the food storage closeby.
Miner goes there for a while, without eating.
Miner goes to his bedroom.
Not even sleeping.
Dead.

Very frustrating, because it's not an exceptional behavior.

well you have to send the save file to the dev for him to be able to check it out.

Starvation even though there is ample food *seems* to be an issue right now. Nothing game-breaking, but a persistant little nag in all of my runs. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but idk.

Happens in all of my runs too, heck I even took a few screen shots of my situation. I have plentiful amounts of food both cooked and raw storages to hold all of them so they don't rot and storage to hold the rot. But I've had 15-20 villagers die on me, not because something attacked them, but because they were too busy doing a job to go and seek the food, or they saught out food far too late.

Yep. Feels like maybe its the same thing Banished suffered from. Food is there but either its being hoarded, or it's unaccessible for some reason. Or maybe the workers need to have 'eating' with a higher internal priority. Not sure.

I feel it's more of the latter, from what I understand my minners are clearly dying because they won't stop mining when they hit hungry and continue until they hit starving. My workers who are carrying the seeds into the new creates I've created for them are dying because they are too busy moving all the seeds. The AI simply won't stop what they are doing to handle any other task and their is not priority system to help dictate whats the most important task for them to do at the moment. I have miners so busy mining that they won't go to my weapon stands and pick up an iron pickaxe even though I have multiple avaliable. It's just a little troubling I suppose. But that's what these early access games are for!

Well, I hope you are right (and I think you probably are), because that should be an easy fix. Sounds like it is just changing some priority numbers around maybe.

In the situation i describe in the OP, only one miner didn't eat, while all other toons were eating without issue. I've never seen so far a situation where all my toons don't eat, but often one of them yes, for no visible reason (not only miners, just seems to be random).

Ya, sorry for this. I know a few people are getting this. Going to try to patch a fix asap.

I had this with my first lone farmer run, plenty of food but they just stood in their room until they starved. Glad to see it will be patched ASAP. Thank you!
