Same for me, got disconnected, came back and saw my clone crouching near a tree, luckily didn't kill me though.

IF they did make it so you had to eat less, they should at make food much more difficult to find. Eating three times a day and finding food all over the place makes survival far too easy.

Thought it was just me.

I have also had this happen, the odd thing was it was working fine and then suddenly just stopped working.
