Dead Duplicants Still Interactable

-Dead Duplicants with skill points can have their points assigned.

-Dead Duplicants have entries in door access menus.

This is one of my favorite bugs. It has reminded me for thousands of cycles that there is still hope in bringing my Duplicant's back to life. Poor Catalina joined our miserable colony in the early days around cycle 14 if the math is correct. She died not terribly long afterwards and joined the others who lay around the base still to this cycle. She lived long enough to gain a skill point but died before it was assigned.  3,700+ cycles later I can still give her that point if I click the notification text to pull up the Skills screen.  I can also deny/grant passage for these dead Duplicants from the Door Access Control of any Door/Airlock.

Steps to Reproduce

-Start a game

-Lose a Duplicant

-Verify you can change their access

I have had this notification every time I first open the map for months.  There is no one thing or mod that has been used the entire time.

I think we probably met with the same situation.

I noticed this when I was reconstructing my base. There was 15 duplicants but I could assign all the 16 tables. Reloading the save didn't help.

It was before 2023.6 update that one duplicant died, and there were no mods or DLC in my game. But I am not sure whether the bug has occurred since he died or only since the 2023.6 update(I didn't play this game for several months).

After reading your report I checked the Door Access Control and the Skills screen. Although I could find him in the Door Access Control, he did NOT appear in the Skills screen. This tells us the behavior of the bug can be various.

-You can also assign clothing to dead duplicants.

As for the appearing in the Skills Screen, only Catalina is allowed skill interaction because she had a skill point available when she died.  The rest (of the dead duplicants) are not accessible in the Skills Screen. Furthermore, she's only accessible by using the skill-point-available notification shown briefly upon first loading the world. Once that times out she show up like the others: in clothing assignment, door access, etc.
