Hey, I just wanted to add that I was able to reproduce this bug on my end as well. Great catch!

The interaction to “grill steak” completes, the Zoi eats the meal, and the hunger motive increases, but you’re right, the specific urge itself never clears from the UI.

From a technical standpoint, it feels like one of a few things could be the root cause:

  • A Completion Flag Isn’t Firing: The onCompletion event for the grilling interaction might be failing to set the proper flag that tells the urge system the task is finished. The animation and motive gain are working, but the final “handshake” with the urge system is getting lost.

  • Incorrect Item Tag: It’s possible the steak that comes off the grill has a generic “cooked steak” tag. The urge system might be looking for a more specific item, like a “grilled steak made for urge,” and therefore doesn’t recognize it as the correct item to satisfy the request.

  • A Break in the Logic Tree: There could be a break in the character’s behavior tree or state machine. The Zoi completes the “Eat” action, but the logic branch that is supposed to follow—the one that clears the associated urge—is either being skipped or isn’t connected properly.

To help narrow it down, it might be useful to test:

  1. Does this happen with other grilled foods (like hotdogs or veggie burgers), or is it specific to the steak?

  2. Does the urge clear if you cook the steak on an indoor stove instead of the outdoor grill?

Hope this extra information helps the development team track it down and fix the bug!

Hey all (@here),

  • The ‘I want to cook on an outdoor grill’ urge may not be complete, even after successfully grilling steak on a BBQ grill.

This issue was fixed in v0.4.0.
Please create a new thread if you’re still experiencing this issues after the latest updates. :psycat_blush:
