Melee targeting bug. Level 3 melee colonist goes to level 20 in a second, and does no damage

[coolersean]

When I used a megascarambit knife to attack an enemy, my colonist just did nothing, but leveled up absurdly fast, and did no damage. I'm assuming what's going on is that he's doing an attack every frame, without dealing damage/hitting them.

To reproduce this, I got a colonist to use a non-vanilla or CE compatible weapon, then set their 'melee attacked area' to automatic.

The melee weapon that you're pawn is using is not CE compatible as seen from the missing melee damage entry in its info tab.

ah, okay. Thank you.

turns out the insectoid armor mod aint CE compatible.
