Slow Mo Dupes

newly printed dupes usually start at 0 atlethics, ofc. they are slower than their peers and get affected by speed debuffs much harder.

put them in the hamster wheel jail for a bit

Dupes also slow down now when they get too cold. Have them wear warm coats if they can be found or made.

Neither of the two above comments should affect a Dupe just being printed at the beginning of a new world. Since they're all starting at 0, no one should be slower, and if it was the cold, all three would suffer from the same slow mo.

Either way, a slower Dupe shouldn't essentially get stuck running back and forth in the same area until they die because they're too slow to reach a food source only 12 ish blocks from them.

I've never seen this issue until recently, within the past two months.

Check their athletics. Maybe they have debuffs?
