Outpost crew assignments

[trollgar]

I do not get an option to assign a crew member to my outpost. It shows on the star map but in the crew assignments there is no such post listed, so there is no outpost to assign to. why doesn't my outpost show up in the assignments? What am I doing wrong?

Dit you put a crew station in your outpost ? this is necessary to assing crew. With one crew station, you can assing two people.

But they often don't show up visually, because devs didn't finish that code...

You need to go to another place, once or twice in order for them to show up, then back again to the assigned outpost. In exception with Vasco, he just stick to a ship even after we assign it to an outpost. It always greet the player near the landing bay.

I wonder it got anything to do where the randomized outpost was created, I know there is a generated map after landing that are a bug. Encounter it twice at least. That's why before making an outpost, I've save the game first, make and outpost, delete it, and fly away, to see if the landing area is gone or not, if gone, meaning not bug, if stay. It got bug.

My last base... they never showed... and only the top of the ship sticks out of the top of the landing platform... maybe they are just buried...

Yup it's a bug, happens to me twice, in my cause was during a snowy storm.

Thank you all for your input. It seems that it worked itself out. Finally was able to assign crew to my outpost.

You need a crew station to be able to assign at least 2 people to an outpost. It takes usualy 24h UT hours before the NPCs show up at the outpost.

This never happened to me in my 300+ hrs run. Vasco goes back to the Lodge when I remove his assignment to my ship. I think that is how it is suppose to work. Same for any other of the companions which are at the Lodge. What you encountered is a bug.

Yup, it is a bug. I've only assign Vasco to one of my outpost, I have not remove Vasco so it can go back to the Lodge. I don't want him to go back there. But it's not game breaking, it just when I build a new ship and when it's long, he just sometimes block a path when he went inside after the ship flies.
