Inedible, indestructible and immovable meal

[Freya 'Tail' Fairwing]

Found a potential bug, Alpha 0.2.363, Windows version.

Essentially, there is a simple meal lying on my floor that is due to spoil -1.5 days ago. It cannot be moved, as my hauler simply picks it up, moves it one tile, drops it then immediately moves it back, rendering a meal stockpile useless as she only tries to move this buggy meal. I tried to set it on fire and it does not take damage from fire (though I have not tested non-buggy meals for this, though the fact that they have their own health suggests they are meant to burn.)

I have no idea how it might have started, and I can't think of anything highly unusual that might have occurred, though I did get attacked roughly 1 - 2 days before, and I habitually draft everyone as soon as raiders are sighted, regardless of what they were doing, so maybe there is some issue when this occurs while they are carrying a meal. My only other thought is that it spoiled while it was being carried.

Upon saving and reloading the game, the meal despawned, but until that time, there it lay. burning in the corner

Although I have a number of mods installed, I only have two running on this save. PopCap+ and Trade Federation.

I have a similar problem. My colonists are starving in front of their full plates. They eat, then move around a bit with their simple meals, then eat it again. All the while they starve to death and the meal never gets eaten. It`s day 5 or so, so no raiders yet. But I did draft them all to kill a squirrel and that could, upon reflection, have been during dinner time.

I`m running PopCap and Industrial Rim, btw.

A savegame is available, if need be.

Do you still have this issue when playing without mods?

[ThatOtherGuy]

I can`t remember ever having seen this outside of Industrial Rim. But while playing with Industrial it seems to be a regular feature. I had the same problem in a different game yesterday. I don`t have much time to play right now, but I get the impression that it is a mod thing.

I don't even have Industrial Rim, so it can't be that. I've not played outside of this save since reporting this, but I've never had this bug before then.
