So I am having a wee bit of an issue and I am gonna ask if I am doing something wrong before I report it as a bug.

So what is happening is that 3 of my 6 colonists refuse to move or do anything to the point that they are killing themselves from exhaustion/starvation. Now before you ask they are NOT drafted, if I click on them it says they are undrafted and I can't move them around by right clicking. However if I do put them into drafted mode I can move them around and such but as soon as I undraft them they go back to the same spot they were standing before and again refuse to do anything, they won't even get food or sleep and as I said they kill themselves. Does anyone know why this would be happening? it may be worthy to add that it is only 3 of my 6 colonists who are doing this, the other 3 are perfectly fine.

Cheers guys

From what I can tell from others the best way to defend and survive is to build under ground. But when I try and build underground my people start getting really upset and get close to mental break downs. Now I give them light food and everything else they need but I just have to keep them from doing jobs and circulating them on and off so they don't go crazy and even that's not enough.

I think my biggest problem is that the area is ugly but I don't know how to actually make their surroundings looks nice. I have a screenshot of one of my earlier bases and it has a lot of what looks like rock shards and even if that doesn't effect happiness it just annoys me. Am I able to get rid of it?

Is there something I should be doing that increases happiness alot? Do I need a minimum number of lights in a room or something? I can't seem to figure out what I am missing. Any help/tips would be appreciated.
