So I bought the game and started playing, was having a wonderful time until suddenly:
1. My ability to cancel, change priority, have things toggled, and build new things Stopped working.
2. My Duplicates, despite there being food in front of them, wondered in circles starving.
3. Related to the above, the Duplicates just stopped using completely functional outhouses and lavatory.
I spent some time trying to figure out why, only to save and shut the game down for a bit but my Duplicates died, except 1 who was on the verge.
When I came back to try and fix it, suddenly everything was fine my 1 Duplicant started eating and we started printing more Duplicates and all was well.
Until the above repeated itself. Again.
I thought it was my computer, but it appears to be within acceptable ranges for the System Requirments, I have 2.20 GHz Processing and 4GB Ram.
At this point, I cannot continue to play. It would be one thing if My own design was killing us, but it's not, they have what they need but eventually stop using it completely and I end up unable to do anything.
I am unsure if this will be reproducible, I had built a 3-floor colony printer on the bottom. Bottom floor: On the left was all the plumbing the Printer in the middle and on the right was the manual generator, microbe musher, and storage. The second floor was Storage and a massage table. 3rd floor was farm and beds. Water was being pulled from directly beneath the bottom floor of the base and dumped into a pit a few blocks away. The first time this happened, I was installing a water reclamation set up in the wastewater pit and had dug a shaft beside it with a 1 block gap to a hole under the pit, where I put coal generators. Suddenly my duplicates started starving, I tried to figure out why. I set all tasks back to 5, then made the manual generators and the musher to be the only priority, and they still were not doing anything to make food. During this, I noted some wire I had placed to build incorrectly, that couldn't be reached. I attempeted to cancel and nothing happend. Then I couldnt set sweep or mop chores, and eventually all of my controls stopped functioning. My Duplicates all died, but 1. I saved and shut down for a bit. Came back, everythign was working again, I started printing new duplicate and began to tunnel upward after I had recovered 3 more Duplicates. I set up a Gas pump and Hydrogen generator system got all my water attached to Electrolyzers and began to pump hydrogen toward the generator and oxygen into the base. Knowing this would not last long, I dug upward, using an airlock to ensure the hydrogen I was producing was not going to follow me and redirecting some oxygen through a vent into the airlocked area. As we dug up, Duplicates began to starve and make messes down in the colony. Yet they had food everywhere, I even printed nutrient bars, all the toilets were fine, and yet they ignored all these things and slowly all died. again. I stopped playing after that.
