[0.44] Cooking Stove

[nachtstunde]

There 2 problems with my new (build after patching to 0.44) cooking stove.

first:

Found another bug thats really annoying, I put a cooking stove inside a building against a wall, but for some reason the person I assigned to the station seems to use it OUTSIDE the building on the other side of the wall. Not sure why.

Found in http://www.lofigames.com/phpBB3/viewtop ... ove#p26300
i got that problem with a new builded stove (with version 0.44). it has been solved after some time, maybe because i left the outpost with some of my guys while the workers stayed there. another solution could be, that my team get into fight and the worker, using the stove outside get into combat and get back after that.
the problem didn't happend a second time or after loading the game several times.

second:
the stove get invisible. it's just "gone" so you can't see him and can't use it BUT the stove is there. i got a worker doing some bread in it, but i can't do a thing with the stove by myself.
after playing some time the stove lost his invisible feature. maybe the reason is that i left the outpost with some guys and the loading of an new area solved the problem. i can't say how many areas has been loaded but after some time outside the outpost (while the worker still used this invisible stove) the stove become visibile again.

update:
after restarting the game (some hours later) the second problem happend again. the stove is invisible. the worker is using it.
loading a new area and getting the worker into combat didn't made the stove visible again.

I've encountered the first issue, and I have also seen that if an Engineer constructs the Cooking Stove, he can also do it from outside the building, and doing so does not display the interior (as we all know), however the Cooking Stove will be visible once its construction is complete.
Similar to this issue, any workers from the Grain Silo will be able to deposit into the INPUT slots from outside the building. In general, EVERYONE can use the Cooking Stove from outside the building while its against the wall on the interior.

I have yet to encounter this invisible stove bug, but I'm trying my hardest to produce it. Could you give more detailed step-by-step to reproduce this issue?

While we are on the topic of cooking stoves, I have found an interesting bug as well. While my workers have backpacks on, they will often glitch out and grab a bunch of flour, then put it away, they pick it up, and put it away over and over. They do this so fast, that it is basically flashing in their inventory. The only solution I have found to fix this is to remove their backpacks. Probably happens because they grab as much flour as they can carry instead of the amount the stove needs to continue working. This could be an issue with the stove being too close to a flour storage bag, but I am not certain.
