A rancher will groom critters even if there is an egg that needs singing to in an incubator that is set to a higher priority setting than the grooming station. (Proximity might affect this - not sure. But I had a dupe that kept grooming critters in the ranch even though there were several eggs that needed a song, all in incubators set to a considerably higher priority.) (Edited: spelling)

Every now and then a dupe will start doing the eating animation regardless of what action they are doing. This just happened again, but I this time I happened to notice *when* it happened. Adding that information here in case it is of use in debugging. A dupe was eating at a mess table when I reassigned them to a different mess table. (They had been auto-assigned a mess table in the hospital, I assigned them one in the great hall.) I tried reassigning mess tables mid-meal for a few other dupes, and they also then had the eating animation bug. So seems like a decent potential candidate for the reason behind the bug.

Not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but it works differently than other skills, so worth mentioning. If you get a dupe with the Masterworks as a default skill, they won't complete a painting. The game message is "Local colony lacks art fundamentals." Which is true, but there is a dupe with max art skill. When checking the (blank canvas) painting's "Errands" menu it says, about the masterworks dupe, "requires learned skill." I seem to remember other skills (like digging and mechatronics engineer) not requiring the earlier levels being unlocked for the dupe to be able to do the higher-level skill they came with. A similar approach across skills might be good.

Title. Can't be 100% certain of the cause of the crash, but it happened less than a second after deleting a spacefarer module that had a dupe inside. I could see the dupe appear/pop out when the spacefarer module disappeared/was deleted, then the game crashed.

The Gassy Moo needs more space than other critters at the grooming station. Having a grooming station next to a wall leads to there not being enough space to groom the Moo. When there isn't enough space to groom a Gassy Moo, the game says "No critters available." A less confusing text would be something along the lines of "grooming station needs more space." (This problem, and its solution, were posted some years ago by Merkyor on Reddit.)

The space heater's status box doesn't give the minimum atmospheric pressure needed for the space heater to work. When it is in a vacuum it says "Low Air Pressure" in red. If you mousover that text, it says: "A minimum atmospheric pressure of {TargetPressure} is needed for this building to heat up"

When selecting research to be conducted that requires a Data Analysis Researcher, a notification appears if you don't have a dupe with that skill. After teaching a dupe the skill the alert/promt doesn't disappear.

The setup: a Materials Study Terminal with a motion sensor and a lamp on the right. (See picture) When a dupe comes to work the terminal (coming in from the right), the duplicant sensor flashes green when the dupe passes it to turn on the Materials Study terminal, then goes red again. When the dupe returns to work the machine, the motion sensor doesn't register the dupe. Meaning the light doesn't turn on.

Nisbet is stuck permanently trying to release pressure from an oil well that is disabled by automation. (Manually enabling the oil well fixes the issue. But having to keep an eye on automated machines kind of defeats the point of automation... )

If a dupe is on their way to a rocket (in my case they were in a transport tube - don't know if that is relevant) when their schedule switches to downtime, they move on to the next task after their downtime, skipping/deleting the space mission task.

Playing a one-dupe world I was (finally) ready to launch my first rocket. When the dupe entered the rocket it triggered the "Colony Lost" pop-up notification. Even though the dupe is alive, but is in the rocket. The red "colony lost" notification in the upper left side of the screen remains, even after the dupe has returned from their space mission. PIC 1: dupe enters rocket, colony lost pop-up PIC 2: dupe has returned, colony lost notification still there Suggestion/possible fix: this pop-up could have a check first, to see if there are any dupes in rockets or on space missions (from which they will return, i.e. not the temporal tear) Edit/addition: the resource list also becomes wonky when there are no dupes on the asteroid, when all are in space. Presumably due to how the game calculates what resources can be reached, which goes a bit funny when no dupes are around to reach any resources. The resources don't show 0 for all things - some show there being a bit of resources, many show there being no resources of that type.

Comfy beds in the environment can be automatically assigned to dupes, even if they are not reachable or visible to the player. This results in a dupe sleeping on the ground even if there are unassigned (player-built) beds in the base. Picture 1: A dupe sleeping on the floor, even though there is an unassigned bed. The dupe is assigned a comfy bed, even though no such beds have been built. Picture 2: The comfy bed in question is part of a POI near the base. However, it is inaccessible and (largely) hidden by the fog of war.

I built an AETN-powered icebox (polluted water) to cool my (SPOM) oxygen. Even though the polluted water in the icebox is close to freezing, and the oxygen passes through 16 radiant pipes (8 Wolframite, 8 steel), the oxygen coming out is roughly the same temperature as it is going in: more than +40 C. I started with just the Wolframite tiles, and when that wasn't chilling the oxygen I thought it might just be a nerf of some kind. Then I added the steel, but with no better success. The oxygen is somewhat chilled when going through the icebox. But there are a lot of temperature fluctuations - sometimes it's close to freezing, sometimes more than 40 degrees warm. However, whatever the temperature of the oxygen in the icebox, the first pipe tile the oxygen hits after leaving the icebox, the oxygen temperature immediately jumps up to 40-50 degrees.
