Outpost disappeared

[Vagiel]

First of all I have to say how amazing this game has been. It has really surpassed all my expectations and it still has so much to offer.

Now for my actual problem. After a long and arduous journey to the swamp I came back to rest at my cost outpost only to find that it has completely disappeared.

From what I know outposts cannot be destroyed so I believe this to be a bug. I tried to import my save but nothing happened.

Is there a solution to this?

form what i know it may be down to 3 things one you dint pay tax and the land owners got rid of it. two a game bug . or 3 bandits took it over?

[Vagiel]

Well I had some shek soldiers demanding payment but I never played and run away every time they came.

I have no problem if it is that it's only fair but I want to know if it's a bug so I don't go creating another outpost only for that to disappear too.

I read somewhere that it was a known issue since August but I didn't see any solution.

best bet is to make a bug report and upload the affected save folder.

[Vagiel]

Yeah it appears to be a bug since the skek came back to my empty now place demanding tribute from nothing...

Aha, that's the answer then.
The Klingons took over your base and used a cloaking device on it.
The Shek have detected an anomaly with their new prototype scanner and have assumed it's you trying to get out of paying your taxes.
You can either try and explain to the Shek who the Klingons are or steal their Dilithium crystals to shut the cloak down.

The Shek are such Science nerds.

Seriously now it's a big problem. I love the game so far but now my progress is completely stopped since I don't know if I start a new base if it will disappear again and I don't really want to abandon the game.

Maybe I should appeal to the federation...

I do a save every game day that doesn't get overwritten so that there is always a way to save progress when there are problems like this. I've never had an outpost disappear, but I have had properties in town vanish with all the goods they had in them 4 times in my current playthrough.

Seems leaving a person or 2 behind is key to keeping things from disapearing. Game has a long history of things/buildings disapearing Never had an entire outpost go before pertsonally but have lost several town buildings in the past.

Interesting. Thanks for the reply. I think my roving band will go exploring for a while and count this as a hostile takeover.

Submit your saves. This is a terrifying bug I keep reading over and over, for around the last two weeks. Got me paranoid about buying property or starting a town in my current playthrough.

[Vagiel]

I am sorry but how do i submit a bug report?

How to report a crash/bug

[Digstar]

You may have imported a save game and not clicked the "import buildings" option.

[Vagiel]

I didn't have an old save to check but all recent ones had it gone.

And no I didn't do any importing initially just normally playing the game getting back to my base after a long time.
