I have a Hatch stable with adult hatches but no errands for grooming. The grooming station briefly adds priority number for the errand but when it reaches number 3 or 4 it reverts back to no critters available. All hatches are completely wild and that is not reducing. I have waited multiple cycles and they still remain at 100% wild with the arrow pointing up. 

I also have a level 2 rancher available in my colony and it is showing up as a Stable when I go to room view. I have set priorities to the highest on all ranching stations and for the dupes. I have even tried setting one dupe to only do ranching and disable all activities. Still nothing is working. 

Dupes can access the stable as they have been doing my sweeping errands for me. I have saved and restarted the game also. 

Not sure if I am just missing it happening, but it looks like the critter feeder is not dispensing any food. But I may just be missing that happen?

Please help!

  • Baby critters can't be groomed
  • Do the critters actually need grooming? ( Check for "groomed" status on them)

That's what 'no critters available' usually means - no critters need grooming, so the station isn't issuing an errand.

Critters ranging from hatchlings all the way to age cycle 88/100. Some have died in there too.  None of them are groomed, all are 100% wild. Never seen a dupe do a grooming animation. It does appear with a task to groom them every now and then, but it then reverts back to no critters available before any dupes get to priority 1. Even though i have the dupes at highest priority for husbandary and the stations are on 9 priority.

not sure what else to do! The rest of my colony is working without any issues.

Here you go. They have all been wrangled already and been dropped off into the stable. Have been there for around 20-30 cycles now. Just can't get the dups to do the grooming?

I found this weird. this should be showing current critter count. You have a least few in first post.

I will say that your dupes should be grooming and this is a bug.

Have you tried reloading?  Sometimes stations that require rooms can get bugged and think they are not in a room.

So none of your critters are getting groomed?  Does that include the top ranch?  I see an adult hatch behind the baby hatch, keeping in mind that only adult critters get groomed.

Yup, have tried reloading and still not fixing anything. Even built a third stable above and still nothing. I suppose this must be a bug as you said, I was just surprised to not see this online by anybody else so hoped I was just missing something obvious :(

Just because it's a bug doesn't mean we can't help you.  We work around bugs, figure them out, find the cause, and get them fixed with detailed bug reports.

Are you running any mods?  Mods that mess with performance and behaviors can cause weird unintended interactions and bugs.  Also, I agree that this is when you should share the save file so we can look at your colony.

I am not I am afraid as I had a load of legacy mods on here from when I used to play this game around 5 years ago. The ones that are currently off are 

  • Pliers 2021
  • Traffic overlay
  • Schedule master
  • Combined conduit display
  • Wounded go to bed
  • No Drop
  • Build over plants (this is now showing in red, so maybe this?)
