religious colonist commits suicide

What is your game version?

Do you have Space Race installed?
No

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
i got an event screen saying a colonist got a sanity breakdown. Option 1 was "do nothing", option 2 to was "get medical treament", option 3 would have required a different leader personality. Shortly after selcting option 2, i got the message "a colonist has died", clicked on it, and read that colonist Ying Yang had committed suicide. What starteled me was that the colonist description still included the "religious" trait whith the explicit statement "religious colonists don't commit suicide".

So, what went wrong here?

Can you replicate the issue?
haven't tried yet.

I am not sure its really a bug, story bits are different. When a colonist has a sanity breakdown there is a chance of a 'story bit' with scripted events and some have the outcome of death, its not necessarily suicide, perhaps they had a bad reaction to the treatment you gave them.

I don't think its anything worth filtering out or changing the requirements to trigger since like I mentioned, its slightly different than suicide so I think fine for a religious colonist to do.

[ 1 Infirmary ] I would suggest seeking professional help.
(No effect / remove status Unable To Work / Colonist dies) 40% / 30% / 30% chance

that was it: "professional help" triggered a 30% chance to die, and when i checked the death message, is said "cause of death: suicide". It not obvious that sending someone to the infirmary can increase his chance to die.
