Cannot interrupt reservation made by colonist who is vomiting until they finish

[asanbr]

I wanted to flick a switch to turn off my cooking stove which was consuming power unnecessarily.
I picked the nearest colonist and wanted to prioritise flicking switch.
Couldn't do so since it was reserved by someone else.

Zoomed out the map to see where this other person was - of course she was far, far away and would take some time to get here.

As normal, I drafted her to interrupt her reservation so that I could use the other guy for it, who was nearer.

However, turns out the reserver was currently vomiting and drafting had no effect. I had to let the game run until she had finished vomiting before I could interrupt the reservation by drafting her.

Until she had finished vomiting, no one else could flick off the stove. Not very logical, is it?

Very logical, as long as they are sick and vomiting, you can not change what they are doing.

The illogical part might be that a colonist far away was given the job to flick the switch.

I think TLHeart is right.

Yeah, it's a known general optimization problem.
