I remember seeing this bug back in 2021. I watched a duplicant grab an interplanetary payload, take it to a payload opener, and stuff it in their mouth; I found it so amusing I took a screenshot. Great job tracking it down!

Oh was that what was happening? It did feel very suspicious my moos were not moving...

• Plant Husk can now be composted.

And on the discussion of moos, is it possible for this to be done without requiring user input? I'd love to compost oakshell molts and plant husks but it's being held back by the fact there's no good way to get dupes to compost them automatically

And arbor acorn. And that's probably it. I enjoy the idea of automatically recycling things without player interaction in super late game. When pod just shuts down itself after cycle 4000 and colony can be run forever without any overflows. I made a suggestion for slugs to be able to eat steel and niobium because of that.

That's awesome! Hope carpeted tile is enough to deal with it on highest stress setting.
