Self-starving and disappearing colonist

[thejman09]

I recently ran across a bug where a colonist was stuck carrying 10x fine meals and could'nt drop them to haul or even eat.  He was stuck in a loop of attempting to pick up a meal to eat, and being unable to drop his meal.  Eventually he starved past his mental break and wandered, still carrying the meals.  When my colonist caught up with him to arrest him, he just disappeared!  I still have a "mental break imminent" and "starvation" warning stuck on screen, which points me to the spot where he disappeared.  If it makes any difference, there was a fire on the tile when he disappeared.

I've had this same bug twice now. The first time happened like you said. The second time the colonist half-died. Their corpse stayed 'alive', with a name still displayed, and also was able to crawl along the ground, which was creepy, and took no damage when two other colonists unloaded M-16's into her. Still had mental break and starvation alerts as well.

The meals can be dropped after saving and reloading. I think it was already reported.

Same thing just happened to me. I'll try reloading the save file and see what happens...

Hey, it worked! My colonist dropped the meals they were carrying, and finally ate. ^^
