When you mark fish for deconstruction, they stop moving. Unlike belts or machines which shut off when you tell them to be deconstructed, fish shouldn't mirror this behavior.

I don't see this as a but. What if you mark them in one place and they wander off? Although I'm not sure if fish should be deconstructed... (although its fun)

It was a newly-added feature; the ability to deconstruct fish isn't considered a bug.

They are fish, Of course they should wander off. Why wouldn't they be able to move just because you marked them to be picked up?

I know that. The bug I was pointing out was that they lose the ability to move just because you mark them for deconstruction.

That what quotes or @TruePikachu would be for.

It's intended. It's just part of how something works when marked for deconstruction and having the robots have to chase the fish would be annoying to code so I just left it in
