24.4 Unstable steam version.
The issue became more apparent as the number of heartlings increased on town. One heartling carrying itens just drops itens on the ground and idles for a bit. Some times another heartling comes from the other side of town to start a conversation, other times the heartling just goes to do other things. They leave behind anything on their inventory for some other heartling to haul the item to it’s place or idle’n’drop it again. The heartling is building something, then drop a iron bar on the floor and idles about, them go pickup a crop being harvested.
It seems to me some conflict with priorities. Maybe the conversation system overwriting the actions? Noticed them dropping items before calling other to talk too.
