I think this counts as a bug?
It doesn’t happen all the time, but farmers will sometimes drop everything as they harvest it, then just leave it there and walk around with their status listed as “Idle - Unable to work” or “Wandering - Unable to work” while the food spoils in the fields. It’s led to a few starvation deaths a couple of times.
Other villagers will drop everything they are carrying when they go to seek shelter or when there’s a fire, then it doesn’t get picked back up. I watched one area for a while after a fire and everything appeared to just vanish. It wasn’t picked up, it just sorta disappeared.
Loving the game so far! Thanks so much for making it, and for listening when players have some hiccups to report!
