Version - alpha 1

Summary - The colonist Canim, who is currently standing in my turret area, is glitched so that when you click on her, the GUI freezes. The game continues as normal, but I am unable to click anywhere else. Have tried reloading the game multiple times. She also doesn't appear to ever move, although she doesn't starve or have a mental break from exhaustion.

I think that is already the case. ^^
If a colonist is inside of the home zone they will put him out. But not when they are outside the zone.

But yeah they should put out the fire on a colonist always

Are you sure? I've had more than a few colonists ablaze, and not once have they been put out. And I always have my whole base set to a home zone.

Title pretty much sums it up. Colonists can put out fires on items, they should also be able to put out colonists who have caught themselves on fire, instead of them just running in circles until they're dead or the fire burns itself out.

Its already reported at Mantis

For you it just has to do with your entire base being walled in.
I deleted a piece of wall and the lag was gone.

Will it also work if I dig a hole through the rock to the edge of the map? Because if I leave a hole in the wall, it will cripple my defense.

Colonistpaly and others. I will look into the savegames when i get home from work.

I got a good idea what might cause it since there are a 1 or 2 fps game breakers.

It doesn't appear to be any sort of graphical bottleneck, because its not a steady 1-2 fps. It goes in these weird waves of about a half second of smooth play, half second frozen, and it just keeps cycling between the two. There must be something that the game is stuck calculating over and over again, although strangely enough I don't see any spike in CPU power whenever the lag starts.

Zip it up with something like 7zip. If the file is still too large after being zipped (which sometimes happens) you can either split the archive into 300kb chunks, or upload it somewhere like mediafire and post the link here. 

Ok here you go. Autosave 1, everything is fine, 2 minutes later the Elysium save is giving me 1 fps.

Oh yeah, and these were on OSX, so it turns out it wasn't just a windows problem, it just took much longer to happen in Mavericks.

Please provide us with a savegame.
So we can look if this is a new bug or something linked to another bug.

moved to bugs.

How should I attach the save games if the maximum upload size is 300 KB per file?

ok well ill have to wait till i play on windows again. I'm booted into osx right now, and it doesn't seem to have the same problem.

I think I may have figured out the general problem. I did some screwing around with it, and I'm fairly certain it involves hauling. Specifically hauling dead bodies. There seems to be a major glitch with dead bodies. Some of them haul just fine, others will sit there for weeks, and no one picks them up, and when I try to prioritize it, it's either not an option, or they pick up the body and immediately drop it. It seems that whenever I start to get a few of these glitches bodies laying around is when the lag starts.

For some reason whenever I get to the point of about 10-15 colonists, my game drops to like 1 fps, and I have no idea why. My computer can handle any game out there with ultra graphics and not even break a sweat, but this game lags like crazy. Its not really a steady increase in lag the more colonists I get, its just once I reach a certain point on any world, it starts lagging like crazy almost instantly.

I have a 4 gig nvidia gtx 680, an intel 4770k, and 12 gigs of 1600 Mhz ram.

What could be going on? Do I need to allocate more ram or something? I've already tried setting priority to high in task manager.
