New Player Loving the Game – Couple Questions About Squads & Map Issues

[The Notorious]

Hey everyone!

I'm completely new to posting on Steam discussions—this is actually my first time! But I had to jump in because I’m currently loving Infection Free Zone. The concept is awesome, and so far, I’m really enjoying the experience.

I do have a couple of questions, though.

First, is there any way to make your squads automatically search buildings? I’m on Day 45 and running around 15 squads. Every evening around 5:30 PM, I call all squads back to HQ to protect the base overnight, which works fine. But then every morning, I have to manually send each individual squad out to search buildings in my city (tile), and honestly, it's starting to get pretty tedious. Is there a hotkey, setting, or some kind of auto-search function I might be missing?

I already know about the feature where you can hold Shift and select a bunch of buildings—and I do like that—but the issue is that it tends to bug out when you try selecting a lot of homes at once. So I’m still stuck doing this manually for each squad, every single morning... 15 times over.

Also, I noticed that Tokyo won’t load for me. Is anyone else having this issue? I think my system should be able to handle it—I’m running an i9 (can’t remember if it's late 10th gen or early 11th), an RTX 4080, 32GB RAM, and a solid SSD. Everything else runs great, but Tokyo just doesn’t seem to load at all.

Would appreciate any help or tips! Thanks!

Hi, good to see you here!
Regarding squad issue - in the bottom left corner of squad panel, there should be a button labelled as 'area scavenge' - you can simply drag a mouse over the area you want to scavenge. Alternatively, if you set squad's stance to 'move at will', they might also decide to scavenge on their own, but it's less sure than manual orders.
Speaking of Tokyo, the game might have problems with densely urbanized areas (over 20000 buildings on the map). We'd appreciate if you could send us a bug report or a map issue report via the option 'Having issues with this map?' (available if you make it to HQ selection).
