Critters get stuck for no reason.

I am having a similar issue -but I know what is causing it, I think.

My pets and Pre-Evolutionary food sources are getting stuck when my dupe is calling for them to be groomed, some even have the "waiting animation" for the critter (stone hatches laying on the ground being impatient, etc) and the critter never goes to the station. It sits there, stuck, and the dupe stays in a loop of whistling for it to come over. This has eaten up entire cycles of time for my tamer - and isn't resolving. I have to manually re-catch the critter (easy on Hatches, would probably be impossible on things that need traps)

 

Something is wrong with the 'queue to use grooming station' new feature, where a line is formed, but one is ignored, stuck, or a 'ghost' version of the critter that never makes it to the station.

I can totally agree now that you mention that. I've started to notice it too its about the grooming. And now after looking into it further ive started to see a bunch of new issues with how grooming works now. Many times critters get stuck in "excited" or getting "being groomed" status and you have to wrangle them to fix them. Not sure why this is happening but it is definitely connected with my bug here.

I have excact the same issue. Creature will stop moving with blank status. I did some testing and it seems that its happening when creature can walk outsude of the stable.

This is my experience too. Only my critters that are permitted to leave the stable are affected - in my setup, that's just Sweetles and Grubgrubs.

It is also related to a grooming station as @Kissker have said. If you disable grooming station bug will go away. This bug will accure only when creatures can leave the stable and you have active grooming station.

I am having this problem too, critters become stuck whilst queuing for grooming, resulting in endless whistling. Rebuilding grooming station and reloading do not resolve it, I just kill the offending critter.

Klei, are we gonna fix this game breaking issue or we will wait for a little bit more? Its legit game breaking, i cant farm any decent amount of meat. I was running hatch ranch for a 800 cycles and i have only few dusend of creatures when usually ill have hundreds at this point.

I created an account just to say that I too have that bug still in December

same here - it seems to happen when TAME critter are outside of stable (moved by themself by an "open" door) but need to be groomed again...

I have quitted the game because of this. But it seems that no one in klay thinks that this is a game breaking bug. 

Ill.Skillz me too 빠른 버그수정 바랍니다.
