Weird animation loop
Hey hey, first of all this is a really nice modlist I like it very much.

However, I came across some weird AI behaviour during my current playthrough. Sometimes the AI gets stuck in certain tasks, like for example picking up corpses. They pick the corpse up, carry it a second and drop it on the same spot on repeat. Pick up, drop, repeat for days until a bone dog comes and eats the corpse.
The issue solves itself when I reload the save, but the issue appears again after a few minutes. I did a few new test runs and in all attempts this issues accurs as well.

Any ideas how to fix that?

List is installed exactly as discribed, all recommended mods + the Nexus ones are installed, nothing was changed in the load order.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey, sorry I just saw your post. Sometimes I don't get a notification for *new* discussion posts being created.

You can try to disable the Long Range Corpse Disposal and/or the Larger Use Ranges (both do effectively the same thing, increase "use" ranges for all workshops, etc. in your base). This might be the issue?

There could also be other issues, if it's specifically corpse disposal they're having issues with. With the "Long Range Corpse Disposal" mod, it also changes the machine to allow 10 users instead of the default 1. Depending on how many bodies / burners you have, you might need to move some burners closer to the gates or wherever the issue is occurring. :2017stickycrab:

There's not many mods on the list that changes AI directly, which makes it more likely that it's just a weird "Jobs" AI interaction. Weird issues like this tend to happen on *very* large bases, so do keep that in mind if you plan on making a humongous base lol

Currently it happens even in every city in the great desert I visit. Some Skimmer gets killed and the guards are falling into this coprs pick up loop.
I will try to disable the Long Range Corpse Disposal one and will give you feedback, thanks for the suggestion.

That's interesting, thank you for letting me know :cactusrum:

If you happen to try disabling those mods, and it still doesn't work, then I might need to look more into it. I haven't seen this issue too often, although sometimes Kenshi does weird things on its own lol :2017stickycrab:

After a little bit of testing, the issue is still present. Without bove of above mods the guards still throw corpses in front of the gates, pick them up again and so on and so on, particually animal corpses are affected, Skimmer and all kind of dogs for example. Tests were made in Stoat and Bark. Stoat has a corpse furnace, Bark not. In both locations the same outcome. You can easy replicate the issue, just go in one of these towns and wait for some trouble out of the town gates on x10 speed.

Thanks for looking into it, the thing itself isnt a big issue its not game breaking but it itches :cozyroe:

No problem, thank you for letting me know! :2017stickycrab:

I'll look into it more, as Kenshi's system does do weird things at times and makes it hard to figure out what is causing it. If I'm able to figure it out, I can probably patch it to work as intended.

I've seen this happen too in Sho Battai, mostly after a caravan or something gets attacked in town and the guards haul everything outside the gates (Pack Garrus, etc.). Eventually they kinda just go back to what they're doing. Kaizo does have a few AI related changes, which may be one of the causes if the other "Corpse Disposal" related mods aren't the issue.

Although, since Kaizo has quite a few changes, it may be one of those things where it's an *unintended* AI related change. Or, it could be the interaction between Kaizo and UWE, so who knows?
