Hi, quick question. Is there any way, likely through modifying my save/game files, to disable the fact that if you're not in a combat situation (like during a raid) that your drafted colonists will undraft themselves for no reason? While I'm fine with them doing it to eat/sleep, they do it otherwise and for some of them I'd like them to remain mostly stationary as guards.
I've literally never had that happen. Are you sure you're not accidentally hitting R with them selected?

I'm sure. For some reason, my guys always just undraft themselves and go on about their other duties even if I don't have them selected.
Yeah. I can confirm that its a feature. I remember reading about it in a change log a while back. It was meant to combat 'forgot to un draft colonist, so they starved to death/mental break). I cant remember how long it is, but it is a decent amount of time before it happens. I notice it all the time on colonists who break easy that are drafted to stand in flower patches. Half a day or so later they undraft automatically and go back to whatever they were doing.
Yeah, I've experienced that too, especially when drafting colonists to put them on flower-watching duty. I wondered why that was happening.
I've had this happen to me as well. For better or worse, in between urgent hunger and tiredness, I never have drafted colonists idle in one place too long.
