I'll stop the bug hunt for now, just leaving one last thing. This is what I got when I turned on job logging on a pawn who was stuck in endless party mode.

Sasquatch is the name of the pawn. This pattern repeats itself ad infinitum apparently. I also tried to start another party with dev mode but it says it can't find a party spot or organisator. The last thing I wanna mention in case anyone has an idea is that they don't gain fun at the party, nor do they get the party buff. Instead they are drained of all fun. And even though they had all the amenities, they only managed to eat on their own when starving and are frequently collapsing from exhaustion. Sometimes they make it to bed. But after getting up again, the "Attending party" immediately continues. It's almost haunting how they never stop and torture themselves with endless festivities they don't enjoy :/

Sorry, yeah. But why did it help in my testing scenario? Or, more likely, what did help there? Do you use a custom scenario by any chance? I have one with poison and psychic ships turned off and a few other things.

I'm sorry, disregard the message, it seems that time where disabling Hospitality helped was merely a fluke.

There might be a bug with hospitality, possibly in conjunction with another mod. We can't stop the party (and several other events).
I would ask you to check out this thread since everything's already detailed there:
https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=40745.0

I only just tested and noticed that the bug goes away if I disable Hopsitality, but I did't cross check with all other mods, it might well be a conflict.

I THINK I GOT IT, IT'S HOSPITALITY

I just made tests with new colonies in devmode , build them a small house, then forced a party. It ended after a few hours with Hospitality turned off!!!

I also noticed that with the bugged parties my pawns never gained the party buff or gained any joy from it whereas in the test without Hospitality, they got the normal buffs.

I assume it's not Hospitality by itself, but rather a combination of one of our other mods with it. I will leave a message in Hospitality's thread, maybe the author knows more about it.

Yes, I have experienced the same with caravans and even with a raider who never attacked, but rather starved to death.

I have been checking my log on a new colony, and yeah, even though no party has happenend yet, I also fear that wasn't the solution. Wanna compare modlists? Maybe we could at least narrow it down.

Here's mine, sorry for ugly formatting:

Also, this is a message I have in my log that is going up in the thousands very quickly. Might be unrelated, might not.

Hey, I had that problem, too. I just found this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/RimWorld/comments/7xs3pj/endless_party_problem/
According to them it's the "No mechanoid raids"-mod which I actually have. Since my whole colony literally partied themselves to death I can't test it, but maybe you can actually confirm this suspicion.

Either way, have a nice day and I hope for both of us that we can stop to party now.

Edit: Checking the mod and they set the <raidCommonalityFromPointsCurve> that is mentioned on reddit to -9999. Maybe that value should not be negative? Same goes for the raid chance variable the other person on reddit mentions. Could someone with actual knowledge on the matter chime in?
