Don’t give A.I. too much credit.
That is seriously insulting to at least the average human.
It would however be extremely expensive to have every NPC in every game controlled by a developer 
even tho i would love to see it, AI does work in some games, however in this game, bar & living settlement AI is best left off until it can get an overhaul.
You can disable interaction with all your things in your base, and it will be like if it’s disable.
The best will be having new option to disable or enable for each thralls.
Check the videos i put up there ^^ but yes we did that, but the “feature” does not work at all, so why it is enabled i dont know, thralls just stand there, at least with it disabled they work!
