Just Like the Good Ol' Days: Dupe completely ignoring pri-9 outhouse job and messing everywhere instead!

I have just a few hours in a new colony. I have 3 dupes, none are anything-averse.

I have one outhouse.

I started getting "made-a-mess" alerts, and then noticed that the outhouse was full. The outhouse was already set to pri-8, which should've trumped anything else they were doing.

Long story short, all three dupes are completely ignoring both the outhouse-emptying AND the mopping required.

This brings me back to the frustration of the early days of ONI, where dupes would completely ignore important tasks that would prevent them from dying and, instead, just keep getting sadder and angrier!

Steps to Reproduce
Unfortunately, I don't know what triggered it, but I have the save file attached. The moment you load it, one dupe will come down the ladder, mop one tile, and then nobody else will touch anything related to the mess or the outhouse, no matter what.

@Kauffy, you have two issues with how you've set your priorities:

1) All of your mealwood planter boxes are also set to 8; so the duplicants prioritize them over the outhouse. The problem here is that the farming errands have a hidden priority of 0.28 priority vs the tidying hidden priority of 0.26. The hidden priorities can be seen when hovering your mouse over the errand in the duplicant's "To Do" list.

2) You have set a non-Tidying errand type to high for for all of your duplicants. Meaning they will prioritize building (Bilderberg), Researching (Sciencio), and Digging (Diggby) over all other tasks - even if those tasks are set to 9; they will always do what their highest duplicant priority is.

As the game describes "Duplicants will first choose what Errand Type to perform using their Duplicant Priorities [L]. They will then choose one Errand type from within that type using the Building Priorities set by [the Priority] tool."

Just remember, the "To Do" List is super helpful in determining what your duplicants should be doing next - like making sure mess-apocalypse doesn't happen.

Hope this helps!
