Title - Starving pawns ignore fire in home zone.

Found the missing bit that allows a repro.

Summary - A boomrat went agro, and started attacking my colony.  I sent a near useless pawn to melee it.  Boomrat went died setting wooden front of colony on fire.  All pawns (who were starving) ignored the fire as though it wasn't there and wend about other actions (like cleaning).  All pawns are fire fighters.  As soon as a pawn was able to eat something, it immediately went to fight the fire.

Steps to Reproduce -
1. Setup a house of wood.
2. Set pawns to starving, by using -20% tool a few times on each.
3. Set a fire on the house.
4. Watch pawns ordered to extinguish the fire, only put out part they were told to put out, and go back to whatever they were doing (like cleaning).
5. Fiddle…

Expected Results - Pawn should put out the fires without direction (even when starving).

Actual Results - Pawns seem to ignore the fire as though it wasn't there.  Repairing things burned, and walking through the fire.

Most definitely the area on fire is in the home zone.

1. Kill a boomrat in the homezone.
2. Watch fire spread while waiting for pawns to take action.
3. Watch pawns walk through the fire.
4. Watch pawns ordered to extinguish the fire, only put out part they were told to put out, and go back to whatever they were doing.
5. Fiddle…

Expected Results - Pawn should put out the fires without direction.

Actual Results - Pawns seem to ignore the fire as though it wasn't there.  Repairing things burned, and walking through it.

Title - Pawns set to mine platsteel  will keep mining to breaking point

Summary - Set some plasteel to be mined, it was far from the colony.  Some pawns sent to do the work would arrive just before being tired/ hungry.  Once started mining, they ignored that they became very tired/ hungry and would keep working until the ore was finished mining.  Was driving me crazy since the bad mood alert would keep popping.

Steps to Reproduce -
1. Wait until late in the day
2. Set some plasteel to be mined
3. Send a pawn to go mine the ore
4. Keep watching pawn thoughts.
5. Pawn will keep mining, while becoming increasingly upset, but will not leave.

Expected Results - Pawn should give up at some point and go eat/sleep.

Actual Results - I needed to repeatedly toggle 'soldier' mode on the miners to break the current order so they would leave to go eat and sleep.

Title - Unable to select burning pawns to extinguish them.

Summary - After a pawn has caught fire, I've been unable to manually direct other pawns to go put them out.  I don't think this was a case of some other pawn already having been sent to do the work.  All other pawns were set to 'soldier' mode.

Steps to Reproduce -
1. Set all pawns to 'soldier'
2. Run them through a fire.
3. When a pawn catches fire.
4. Set a pawn back to normal mode.
5. Right click on burning pawn.
6. Find that you're unable to tell them to extinguish that pawn.

Expected Results - I should be able to direct a pawn to extinguish the fire on another pawn.

Actual Results - Was unable to command pawn to extinguish the burning pawn.  Oddly the burn pawn stood in one place, maybe because it was still in 'soldier' mode?

Title - Unable to add prosthetics to rescued pawns.

Summary - Rescued pawns are unable to have surgeries scheduled to add prosthetics.  If the pawn is missing a leg, this prevents the pawn from leaving when they are well.  Then they are just a food sink.

Steps to Reproduce -
1. Rescue a non-colonist pawns.
2. Wait until finding one which has a missing limb (like a leg).
3. Try to do an operation to add a prosthetic.
4. Find operations are not possible.

Expected Results - Since I was rescuing the pawn, I wanted to free them at some point.  Since he was missing a leg I could not do so.  I want to be able to add prosthetics to rescued pawns.

Actual Results - Was unable to add a prosthetic leg to rescued pawn.  Was forced to capture the pawn , then I was able to add a peg leg.  After which release was a real possibility.  The capture caused a negative faction effect, I doubt that the release compensated for it.

Title - Colonist researches in random location when research bench blocked.

Summary - Noticed that colonist were researching in strange places.  Looks to be due to the bench's' person location being blocked by a tree.

Steps to Reproduce -
1. Build bench where the person location is blocked by a tree.
2. Schedule a research project.
3. Watch colonist research where ever they are when gets decided that research is their job.

Expected Results - Shouldn't be able to build bench where tree blocks access, and if it is, colonists should not be able to research.

Actual Results - Colonists research when bench is block anywhere they are standing.

Title - Massive perf drop when colonist routed to pick up large silver piles.

Summary - When visitors die, they at time drop massive piles of silver.  Something like multiple 400x piles.  When colonists are routed pick this up, there is a massive perf drop.  At time multiple colonists are routed to pick-up a single pile.  However they can not be picked-up and are pushed down the map as they are picked up and dropped repeatedly.  Forbidding these pile works around this issue.

Steps to Reproduce - Try to have colonist pick up large pile (400x) of silver.

Expected Results - First the visitors should not drop large piles of silver.  They should drop normal sized ones.  Second colonist should pick up just the amount that they can carry rather than trying the entire pile.

Actual Results - Colonist routed to pick up large piles cause the game to lag badly.

Interesting, I found this

Huh... I would have never guessed.  The squirrels around here seem to have more than enough to eat year round.  I've never seen them get really aggressive with anything than each other.

Please add an "idle" indicator to the overview page.

On seeing the idle alert, I check the colonists name then switch to the overview to see what I can get them doing.  It would be much easier if I could just open the overview and see who is idle without first getting their name.

I'd considered the cani-squirrel idea before pasting, but they are named "squirrel".  This gives me the impression of a certain try of behavior where with boomrats, and muffulo are entirely new, so I don't have this expectation.

Really my first thought on seeing this was to kill it as it was an aberration.

Title - Skill values in overview do not update as colonist's skills increase.

Summary - The overview has a tool-tip like element which pops-up when hovering over a skill for a particular colonist.   As colonists work at things, they gain more proficiency in those skills they are using.  The overview doesn't show these increased values, it shows the initial values that the colonists started with when they joined the colony.

Steps to Reproduce -
1. View the overview screen when starting a colony and note the skill values match the ones listed in the character tab.
2. Have colonist do a skill long enough to increase its value.
3. Check the tool-tip value in the overview.

Expected Results - Overview values should match the values in the character tab.

Actual Results - Overview values remain static.

The attached PNG is a screen capture of the two values displayed for the same colonist, which are not matching.

Thanks for taking a look.

I can live with that.  There are some good arguments for why it should be that way.  Thanks for taking a look.
