Is it possible to make it so pawns wont try consuming insect jelly unless its in the home area. I'm sick of pawns running across the map into a hive of bugs just for some insect jelly then getting themselves mamed or killed
Probably possible but unlikely for someone to do so. A better solution might be making the insect area a disallowed area using the zoning tools, or disallowing for them to pick them up off the ground. If there's a readily available meal supply at the base, they shouldn't be heading for insect jelly that far away.
They do it for the recreation factor.
When I realize theres some bugs around I immediately disallow the area but most the time i get stuck having to kill the hive.
disable the default, arbitrary social recreation drug use policy, use a no drug policy until you have an actual plan
