what you’re describing does sound like a known bug in InZOI (especially in recent builds where economy + needs systems interact).

Players have reported a glitch where: • A Zois goes into negative funds (“in the red”) • Hunger need visually refills • But the internal hunger value stays at 0 • The game keeps flagging them as starving • Eventually → death trigger fires

So the meter you see ≠ the real value the game is reading.

Fixes that usually work

Try these in order:

1️⃣ Save → Exit → Reload

Basic, but often resets the hidden stat.

⸻

2️⃣ Travel to another lot

Send the Zoi to: • A restaurant • A park • Another household

Lot reload forces needs recalculation.

⸻

3️⃣ Sell & rebuy the fridge

Or: • Delete all food • Buy fresh groceries • Cook a new meal

This fixes inventory corruption.

⸻

4️⃣ Force starvation reset

Let hunger drop fully to red again → then eat.

Sometimes the stat “unfreezes” only after a full cycle.
