Ofc they not, it's just because they didn't have any "positive" emotions about stale food, vomiting, p.water on floor and carbon dioxide around every where.

I thought it was normal for them

How does the Appreciated (-5% stress) stat occur?

Thank you for the fall and stretch reaction occurrence lowering, that seemed excessive when you had to 'back out' of a dig with jumps because the next level down had too much space.

Massage room is interesting.  Makes sense though.

Make duplicants pass out on the floor if their stamina ever reaches 0%.  A) This should be hysterical.  B) Rats, now I have to actually give them a sleep block, or have them pass out in the CO2 or something. XD

Is it possible to figure out what a loud noise is, other than dumping sand into the barracks or a loud sleeper snoring?

F12 by default on steam

oh unless you mean.. you cant alt+s for screenshot mode. lets you zoom out more and removes HUD. you can alt+s again to include the HUD in your screenshot, but scrolling the mouse wheel will boing you back to normal zoom

Hello, this new patch seems to be the cause for a crash. I get the error "NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object".

 

i've checked some more and it seems to happen around morning/bath time if the game gets trough the early cycle it will not crash during work,relax or sleepy time.

I will include the log file. thanks.

i answered on your other thread

[Slvrsrfr]

i don't believe so. pretty sure i've not seen a direct response to this yet.

And if so why not just answer it here again for the sake of argument instead of dragging it out.

oh. i'm terribly sorry. /: perhaps you could've checked your notifications first

New dupes no longer will find an available bed, noting that this happened after I added a dupe and forgot to give her a job. She then didn't find a bed, so I assigned her one. But no other dupe who I added after her found a bed either.

It's not just new duplicants, it's any duplicant. I destroyed some beds just now and rebuilt them, the duplicants are not selecting (auto assigning to) the new beds. This makes for a lot of manual effort if you are moving barracks
