Cannot feed corpse to prisoner

asanbr · October 22, 2018, 04:44:41 PM

I have two coloniss and a dromedary corpse. The corpse is fine and they've both eaten from it. One of them was unable to walk, lying in bed, and the other one could feed him with the corpse.

The prisoner however, also lying in bed, cannot be fed. It says "Cannot feed Monroe (no food)". I think she was starving at this point, but I'm not 100% sure.

Later on, when she was able to walk, she ate from the corpse on her own initiative.
Is there a bug?

Same thing happened to me too, playing the latest version with no mods. Set prisoner food to corpses only, and my colonist is trying to feed him with ambrosia, after forbidding all the ambrosia on the map, they can feed him corpses again. I think stuff like beer, ambrosia are still considered food and you can't restrict them from the prisoner/colonist from eating them.

Did you check the food policy for the prisoner ?
You are sure you just enabled Corpse and nothing else ?

I edited my post above to attach a few screenshot, didn't have enough space so one more here. And as you can see, my pawn has been feeding him with ambrosia, which you can't restrict in the food restriction.

This is why I love Rimworld.

"I can't feed corpses to prisoners. This is obviously a bug."
"I have the same bug!"
"Well obviously you must be missing something because there's no way this bug could have gotten through testing."
"No, here's more proof of the bug."

Not one person thought to post, "why are you feeding corpses to prisoners? Why are you feeding them to ANYBODY THEY'RE DEAD HUSKS OF CREATURES YOU MONSTER!"

Never stop Rimworlding.

I couldn't reproduce the corpse feeding issue, can someone post a savegame where this happend?

Fixed the ambrosia bug, thanks for reporting!

I have never touched the food policies. If they are by default set to "don't eat corpses" then that could very well be the reason I had this problem.

It was the only food available, and the only guy who could walk was unable to cook.
It ended well. The prisoner got back to health and was released for relationship gain. The other two got out alive and back to the colony.

Savegame with this feature.

I also would like to note I'm having similar problems with other raw type foods, like rice.

I've tried loading your savegame, but its impossible to load it in vanilla due to the large amount of mods.
Food restrictions by default do not disallow eating corpses.

I've tried reproducing this issue again without success, I'm closing this now as it seems its either mod-related or already fixed.
Thanks for reporting!
