The can't do hauling job message isn't a bug, its there to let you know your tamer can't do his job cause you filled his inventory with junk. They need to pick up a certain amount of food before they'll do taming and they won't go over the mass/bulk limits for it. If you're having problems try giving them a tactical vest or backpack or alternatively drop some ammo from their inventory. If you're using the auto-equip ammo option they'll usually fill up on ammo automatically, try using a loadout to prevent that.

In the tests I've done, bulk doesn't matter, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, sometimes the pawn is carying only the gun, ammo and 1 packaged meal, and can't go taming, next time he is also carying berries, and still he goes pick up meat and goes taming an animal.

Getting the following spam when someone is training animals: "Can't do taming job because of a full inventory" not sure if it's related to CE

Yes I have this also. Just beginning a new game, my main hunter / tamer had equipped the riffle and he had taken 100x the matching type of ammo automatically, as advertised in the mod showcase.

Then as most workers do, he also equipped a Packaged Survival Meal and went to his own business like cutting trees, but second priority was taming, that's when the message poped up.

So I tried to right clik on my dog I want to train obedience, and force training, that's when I get spammed the message ad infinitum


I got clever, paused the game, unequipped the meal, the ammo and also clicked on the arrow to drop the weapon ... but alas it did nothing, the pawn wouldn't drop the weapon.

He dropped the meal and the ammo, and then ran to the closest stockpile to get some more of the same ammo while he had it at his feet .....

I paused the game again, clicked the arrow to drop the gun again, wouldn't work. I clicked a bunch of time and finally he dropped the weapon and the game crashed to desktop.

I guess that's enough Combat Extended for me, I'll start a new game without it, it's sad because it looked promising.


EDIT :
so being a dev, I went a step further.
Disabled all addons except CE (I disabled also CE weapons), and restarted the game.

Generated a new world, 3 new colonists making sure one was above 4 at shooting AND taming (name Joe), and started randomly on a 30% world and standard size map on cassandra Rough.

Pause the game, allow rifle and ammo, tell Joe to equip rifle, disable taming on all characters, select nearby bushes for harvest, set "cut" on priority 1 for everyone, unpause the game.

Joe equips the rifle, than takes matching ammo and reload the rifle, than join the other 2 at gathering berries.

Once I have some berries on the floor, pause the game again, find nearest rabbit and tag him "tame".
In Work I re-enable taming on Joe, select him, right click on rabbit, the popup to tame comes and I get spammed of messages on the top left "Can't do taming job because of a full inventory"

Click elsewhere, unpause the game a little so characters decide what to do, pause the game again and try the same : right clicking the rabbit with Joe selected doesn't even do anything anymore.

After a while it comes back I get the popup to tame and it's clickable. I click on it and now Joe goes to pick something ... For a moment I think he goes for berries to come back tame the rabbit but no he goes for ammo while he still hasn't used any. Picks up some more ammo, then goes to pick a berry and ... eats it. The task to tame the rabbit is forgotten.

Pause the game, right click again on the rabbit and click tame (not spammed of messages on the top left this time), and finally Joe goes to try and tame the rabbit.

There is something really wrong going on here.

I'm playing on steam and installed the mods through the workshop, don't know if it changes anything but now you know :p

Good luck ... random bugs like this are the worse
