I noticed that while deep drilling the red scanner patches for chemfuel, only one unit of chemfuel is getting generated per drill portion/cycle. This ends up being pretty inefficient. I'm wondering if this is an oversight, a bug, or by design and perhaps the result of some aspect of deep drilling that I don't yet understand? My latest colony is in the arctic tundra biome with a very short growing season. There isn't much organic stuff around the map to refine, so I was hoping that pumping some good old fossil fuels would help reduce the colony's dependence on trade.

IIRC, the basic formula for the intensity of events such as raids is something like (total_time_elapsed + wealth_modifier). Given developments in A16 and A17 pertaining to founding/abandoning new colonies, this formula should be updated to (age_of_oldest_active_colony + wealth_modifier).

This alteration of the formula would enable flight from an existential threat as a viable option for an aged colony. The player would be able restart a-la Lost Tribe scenario rather than fight to the death. In the current formula, abandoning an aged colony and subsequently founding a new colony will result in the player being swiftly overtaken by raids that are inappropriately strong.

[Circumstances]

Circumstances
Pawns are idle instead of engaging in typical behaviors. Current activity text reads "Standing".

What happened
A large fire occurred and changed a lot of the map. Pawns subsequently began having problems acquiring new tasks.

What you expected to happen
Pawns should continue to acquire tasks.

Steps we can follow to make the bug appear on our machine
The root cause is unclear because so much of the map changed in a short time. (was a bad fire) Save file is attached. Load save and observe pawns "Element" and "Squirrel".
