Villager clearly downed but marked as "idle" - Build v0.8.0

[CherriBerri]

This issue has actually been around since August 27th(so build v0.7.5f), as there is a post by “Drussix” called “0.7.5f - Wrong status? Downed but showing as idle”.

Basically, a villager got downed by in my case a bear and says “idle” now, as you can see here.

Which indeed looks a lot like Drussix’s issue from months ago

Sat on this hoping it would happen again, it did, in a different save! (same build)

Besides it only having happened (so far in my experience) with wildlife downing a villager, really no patterns I can think of and I’ve never had it happen close enough to a save for it to ever be repeatable with how variable a wolf/bear attack can be.

I think this is acting as they expect. Your villagers in their present state (injured) cannot work and are idle. Perhaps the messaging could be better in their status, but the health indicator (red bar) clearly shows them as being hurt.

I don’t think so because most of the time the villager’s status becomes “Downed” but only sometimes it shows them as idle. The messaging could be better if not a bug though, agreed

Does it? I’ve never seen that state, only the “idle” one, which I always thought was a touch cruel…

Hmm… some clarification from a mod/dev would be good here because I don’t doubt you guys haven’t seen it but I also remember seeing it and have someone else who does too so its less likely to be a false memory.
Especially because I believe the status for villagers who are transporting villagers who are in this state say like “Transporting Downed Villager”
