    Here are the files from a long-ish session. The same game as my post earlier in the thread (and most of the same files as my bug report in the bug subforum). The picture below is my Site A, but the colony has a Site B and Site C as well.

    General observations:

    • as noted by someone else, queueing up a ton of generic stew seems to make the cooking pipeline run much more smoothly than a variety of cooked food products (e.g. 10 maize chowder, 5 coconut curry, 2 beetle steak, etc.)
    • my colony is constantly on the edge of starvation, even with the maximum number of plants I can maintain without spoilage - 90ish maize plants are not quite enough to feed 70 colonists
    • when you have workshops and stockpiles that are spaced far apart, things are sometimes delivered very far away for no appreciable reason - an example is the flax that's grown in the middle of town, but is often delivered to the the most distant Site C stockpile
    • I'm still seeing the same bandit pillage script error that first appear in version 42
    • this colony has Barracks at each of Sites A, B, and C - despite this, my soldiers don't hang around their respective quarters, and instead tend to clump up in a big red mob
    • a couple of bandits defected from their gangs to join the colony, but were quickly killed by their former gang-mates. These deaths created burial jobs that nobody ever attempts (which is fine, because they're deep in hostile territory)

    Got a weird one where the bandits are continuously hacking at something. I dunno what it is.

    EDIT: When I went to investigate it seemed like they were hacking away at a skeleton of a foreign trooper

    Something's causing burial duties to endlessly cycle between people as if it's constantly assigning the job to someone and then cancelling it. It might be if the burial duty job is assigned to an inaccessible corpse or something. For example, if it already decomposed before you could build more graveyard space.

    Ouch. Should have checked the new food system, that turned bad when I ran out of pickled mushrooms... did not spot at once that pickling and jams now only give 1 resulting item, and meats only 2...

    Had 1 script error.

    And a standing dressed skeleton next to a bed. its information said it was sleaping..

    Stable no crashes, but after food issues, cannibalism and enemy soldiers, I got kind of stuck.. whit two work-crews, barley able to feed themselves.
    Are the console files still wanted for checking out game-flow? well attaching it anyways. ;)

    I'm not sure Obeliskian dissection is working. I took down a "Big Boss" Oby, highlighted it and used the "Dissect Obeliskian" option, but my naturalist had no interest for a couple of days despite having no other jobs.

    Fixed for 42B.

    Oh man, this was caused by a fishperson attempting to gossip with some longpork. That's an amazing error. ... almost want to keep some form of it as a feature. Fixed for 42B.

    This is horrifying and amazing and we need to turn it into a feature as well. Logged OC-3890 to make sure the sleeping state properly aborts after death (which I suspect is the cause here).

    As a clarification of the gif I posted of the hovering person over the graveyard, that happened when a colonist was carrying a dead person to the graveyard, then got murdered by bandits. The corpse he was carrying stayed floating.

    If this alone isn't reason to buy this game, I don't know what is.

    The only thing that could top that would be if it was caused by a fishperson attempting to hug some longpork.

    Or perhaps dance with it. But I don't think partner dancing is in the game.... yet.

    Fishpeople trying to talk to chunks of dead humans is a winner. Even better if they can get into arguments, and triple victory forever if they can lose and stalk off angry but embarrassed.
