"Finding safer area"

[durbal]

The new Frosty Planet Pack is great except for one thing: dupes going idle for a second and moving halfway across the planetoid because they're "Finding safer area". It would be one thing if this weren't a task and they didn't need to go entirely to their destination before picking up a new task (not ideal, but it'd be better), but the fact that they do this at all is just plain annoying. Let us turn it off or at least put a range limit on it or something.

Come to think of it, the best thing to do is probably not to treat Chilly Surroundings or the hot equivalent as dangerous. It feels super weird that dupes will sit there and scald themselves to death but when they're standing in some cold air they march for half a day to avoid it.

Ah yes, here we have "Safer Area Steve"

I like to imagine that sleeping on a ladder next to an active volcano (and getting scalded by the volcano) was his way of protesting that I hadn't built him a cot.
