Heartlings Randomly dropping stuff in the ground

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.

Yesterday i ordered the hearthlings to move a small urn that contained all the towns goldcoins… It went for quite a trip before being placed (5 blocks away from where it was).

First the blacksmith picked it up and went up on top of the building i was constructing, there he droped it on the roof to run of and have a chat…
After a while one of the workers came by and picked it up, just to take it down and place it inside a stonechest…
I began to wonder what was going on, but then finally another worker came, took it out of the chest and placed it as ordered…

I have never seen this behaviour before, maybe the hearthlings are evolving? if so, i think they got some strange ideas on that concept… :rofl::heartpulse:
