Platform: Steam, XBOX
Issue Type: Gameplay
Game Mode: Online Private, Single Player
Server Type: PvE
Map: Exiled Lands
Server Name: NA
Mods: none
Bug Description:
Thralls who already have food in inventory take anything from thrall pot until thier inventory is full. While walking the map, thralls forage up random foods and eat them even if they already have food.
Bug Reproduction:
Convert a thrall and set it to follow you.
Clean its inventory entirely.
Give it a stack of grilled steak.
Wander around a player base with a filled thrall pot or in the wilderness for fifteen minutes.
Notice that your thrall’s inventory is full of food from the pot or from foraging.
Excess food from thrall pots happens in both single player and dedicated server multiplayer.
Foraging of excess food in the wilderness only seems to happen on multiplayer dedicated servers.
Thralls who are just guarding around a base with a thrall pot will fill thier inventory with random foods until the pot is empty or they all run out of space. This happens on both multiplayer and single player mode.
Animal pets do not show foraging behavior.
This over eating makes it extremely diffcult to feed thralls for levelling since they are always eating random foods.
Have not experienced this on Playstation official Exiles server. Will have to test tomorrow. @DavidTaylorNC .Last we used thrall pots they would reluctantly used them about ten minutes after damage.
The situation is the same with us.
There are more and more bugs, until you are discouraged to play.
I think we will close the servers because the reported bugs are not taken into account.
Thrall pots haven’t even worked for me since 3.0. No thralls show up in the inventory and they will not take any food even if they are standing directly next to it with 1% hp. Your issue sounds like the original issue thrall pots were having (that they tried to fix in 3.0 and ended up just breaking them all together).
I also encountered this, so I don’t use any thrall pot, I put food in their inventory myself and keep an eye on it, so that it is consumed during leveling.
Another issue is that the game is taking more and more because you get too much.
Clothes for winter are already unnecessary, food, drink - cooking and thus collecting raw materials has lost its meaning.
The map has also already become boring, because how many you can start on the same map.
I think there is a need for a new map with nice places for buildings.
This bug has been around for a long time (PC steam official PvE), pretty sure it was introduced in 3.0 with Age of Sorcery. It is very inconsistent, I can go for months without encountering it.
