Crew idle or procrastinating after update
Previously everything on my ship worked right. I set up supply chains and had dedicated roles in quarters that were in close proximity to their workplace. Weapon systems, engine rooms and shields were constantly being supplied with batteries to keep them running. My lasers could fire non-stop.

Now, all of a sudden, the dedicated crew is waiting until batteries run out completely, then keep idling for some time and only THEN do they start supplying things with batteries again.

I did not change anything about the room set-up. I repeatedly checked and double checked supply chains, linking rooms and role responsibilities (even made them much stricter, even though they worked before as I wanted them to). Everything looks right. Or at the very least exactly the way it was before. But the crew simply doesn't work anymore.

Even the sensor doesn't get batteries supplied anymore. I have 6 crew dedicated to it. 4 operate the room and the other 2 just idle in their quarters until batteries run out completely, then they go and get new ones. Previously they already went running when two batteries got drained.

I can supply my savegame to the devs if needed.

Current theory is that it may have something to do with the size of my ship. I basically filled out the grid and maybe the size broke crew AI?

It would help if you could post a saved game or ship file that's having problems.

Went to discord and got help to resolve the issue. Although apparently not a bug, neither the person helping nor me do fully understand what went wrong. Something with job priority? They knew how to do the setup correctly, but not what exactly was wrong before.

Considering this, maybe you guys could still take a look at the savegame. To maybe improve the AI or clarify their behavior to explain/prevent what happened.

Actually, I am certain there is a bug at play.

The crew behavior is really inconsistent and makes no sense in my scenario. They don't respect priorities in a way that is intuitive and they idle for extended periods of time when they shouldn't.

On the Discord there are clips and save files.
