i was playing as usual, with mods, then for the first time, infestation trigger in prisoners room. then i realized the ants wont attack them, theyre just chilling with the prisoners.
i immediatelly jumped into my vanilla saved games and tried to re-create the incidents using dev mode. turns out the ants also wont attack prisoner.
i expected the ants would attack prisoner.

infest1 file is modded game, infest2 file is vanilla game i tried to re-create

i observe them for like 2 days in game before i killed it and they still so friendly and yeah i saw the prisoner eat the jellies so they survive even my warden not feeding them.

I tested this out, and got some interesting results:

1. Insects do indeed ignore prisoners
2. Insects and prisoners both will attack a prisoner that has gone berserk
3. Prisoners will consume insect jelly at will, even if it's forbidden
4. Prisoners who are incapacitated and "About to break" (Mood = 0) can have a nice chat or a deep talk (!!!)

#4 is especially weird, and makes me wonder if it applies to colonists too.

Fixed, thanks.
