Duplicants stop breathing until remembering they need oxygen

  • Branch: Live Branch Version: Windows Fixed

This save is on Blasted Ceres, with Bionic Booster pack and Spaced Out DLCs.

I'm not entirely sure why this happens, I thought at first it was due to duplicants standing inside of a pending construction but it isn't, and so far every time I've seen it happen, my dupe has been hungry.

It also seems to only happen with Freyja for some reason, and she is my miner/builder so perhaps it's tied to digging and building in some way?

Whenever the bug occurs, my dupe loses their suffocation meter, and isn't dying from it, it's just really weird.

I have a few mods enabled currently but none of them should be affecting gameplay beyond additional UI elements. If needed, I can run the game without mods for a bit and see if it still happens.

Edit: whoops I sent the screenshots like 5 times, didn't mean to do that. Fixed it though

Edit 2: update, it happened above 1000 kcals this time (picture attached) while making my Freyja build something. Weird.

Edit 3: okay I just figured out what causes it, she goes to catch her breath in an unbreathable pocket of oxygen (like 40 grams) and then stops having to breathe for the rest of her stay in an unbreathable location, apparently that's all you need to do to reproduce it.

Steps to Reproduce

Every time this has happened so far, my duplicant is both hungry and standing inside of a building (pending construction or otherwise) doing a digging task.

It also doesn't seem to happen above 1000 kcal, and I can't make it happen of my own accord yet have seen it happen more than just the two instances I have screenshotted.

I wish I could provide more info but I'm really just guessing as to why this happens.
