After a psychic ship event occurred, I moved colonists to fight it, one of them was using an EMP grenade. After starting fight, there were 3 scythers that spawned and one centipede. The colonist with the grenades caught 3 of them in the blast, then had his remaining hand shot off.

I expected that the rest of the mechanoids would continue firing their weapons after coming out of stun, however they all continued aiming, but never fired, while the unstunned scyther fired 3 more times.

Just Found out that when reloading the save, the mechs are returned to usual state, so providing save is sort of pointless, ill keep it there just incase it isnt worthless for information. But i did check to make sure it is possible to reproduce in another save.

Thank you for the bug report. Can I please ask if you have relaunched RimWorld since the playing session where you encountered this issue? As if you haven't then your log file might contain some useful info as to what happened. But if you have relaunched RimWorld since then then your log file from this will have been overwritten.

If you do still have it though, then it would be great if you could post it as an attachment. I believe the log file for the unstable build should be in the RimWorld\RimWorldWin_Data folder.

Did the stunned scythers have a STUN overlay? Are you able to reproduce this issue? Firing 3 times when someone is stunned seems ok I think.

ison or Zorba, can you try to repro this? And look over the code please.

Close the bug if it's impossible, but yeah, this should get investigated. Perhaps there's a way to perma-stun.

Did both already, and I got nothin', unfortunately. Unless ison's got an idea that I don't have, or we can get repro steps, I'm not sure we can do much about it.
