AI not sharing food and feeding dogs

[chaosriddlr]

I have the AI set so that food share is on, which hopefully I 'm not really stupid, but that should mean that if you have food in a backpack then everyone will go to eat from that one backpack. However, My characters haven't been doing that which is really frustrating. Especially with the guy with a dog start because the dog won't eat anything and since the dog has no inventory you have to drop food in its face, which even that sometimes doesn't work because the dog doesn't want to eat. Speaking of which, the dog just doesn't like eating food ever unless its from a food storage. I know for a fact he won't eat stolen food which i tested, but even recently bought food or food looted from corpses won't be eaten and I spend a bunch of time trying to keep the dog from starving to death. This happens in basically all my saves, sometimes it works, most times it doesn't. I'm not sure if its a bug or something on my end to be honest.

I've noticed the same thing, it isnt just dogs, it is all animals and people. Sometimes loading a save gets it to work again, the best thing I found was just making sure to kill animals and people, the dog will eat the corpses.

I was paying more attention to it and I noticed that the share food AI doesn't get food until their hunger is at about 225 which threw me off I guess. normally when food is in the inventory they eat at 250 but not for food sharing I guess. Dog thing is still an issue for me though
