Hearthlings dropping partially eaten food and then restocking it

Summary:

Lately I have noticed my hearthlings dropping their food all over the ground! It seems that sometimes when carrying their food to the dining hall, something excites them, they drop their food, and go get something else. Then, another Hearthlings will pick up the pieces of food on the ground and bring them back to the stockpile.

Steps to reproduce:

Unknown, cannot reproduce this consistently.

Expected Results:

Food taken by Hearthlings is eaten, or at minimum eaten at a later date.

Actual Results:

Pumpkin mush and corn cobs on the ground, graphical glitches in Town Inventory view.

Notes:

Potentially related to: Graphical glitch on display of Veranaus scales

ive seen this one myself. was not sure if items are going to be restocked them combined once there was enguht or if its a bug :cold_sweat:

i’ve also seen this happen. though this seems strange, i’ve also seen hearthlings come and take that single serving out of the stockpile to eat it, instead of getting a new serving… so i’m not really sure its a bug… :confused:

I can definitely second this. What’s worse is that they don’t finish the servings, they just grab more food which makes more servings. My barn was filled with pieces of vegetables and servings of stew, and they were piling them in the same place near crates so that specifically one voxel by each crate was just white.

I think that they fill up, or like you said for some reason abandon eating, before finishing the serving and these servings are not counted as food so are 1. not put into storage and 2. not finished.

I guess this is better than having the food on the floor and being unable to move it or delete it, like it has always happened. =/

I don’t saw this under build 2280 and before this release it was more like this they drop like crazy and relocate it after dinner :wink:

No, since the release of 2820 my hearthlings have stopped dropping servings.

Have fun, Kyth.
