[New Engine 5.6] Autonomy turns on while sleeping

Bug Reports
1

    • Game Version: New Engine 5.6

    • Platform: Steam windows.

    • Mods: :round_pushpin:NO MODS.

    • Hardware Specifications & Operating System: Windows 11, 11th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i7-11700F @ 2.50GHz (2.50 GHz), NVidia RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM.

    • Steps to Reproduce: Turn off autonomy, when zois go to sleep, autonomy automatically turns on while the zoi sleeps.

  • Details:
    :round_pushpin:When you turn off autonomy for a zoi, the autonomy turns on automatically when the zoi goes to sleep. This is probably done to allow for events like sleepwalking or dreaming, as somebody mentioned in reddit, but I believe autonomy shouldn’t be turned on or off without the player’s request.

  • Autonomy doesn’t automatically turn back off when the zoi wakes up, so players have to remember to turn it off everytime.

  • While the zoi is sleeping, autonomy is locked and you cannot switch it off.

Unfortunately, autonomy has been quite bugged from the start. I assume it’s like one of the users in another thread said:

Maybe it’d be best if a member of the team merged your thread with the older one where the reply is from, since it brings more attention to this specific issue.

This is not just with the new engine it has been the same since day one

they promised the following for April, though

It’s good to see that is coming. However, “More detailed options to control autonomous behaviour” doesn’t directly address this bug or the others related to autonomy, and I believe we should still report any issue we encounter. Hopefully they will take these reports into account when preparing the April update.
