Empty Cities

[NYCPCGAMER]

I see some older threads about empty cities, but nothing new. Can somebody provide me with some information regarding the appearance of empty cities, not necessarily ghost towns. For example, I just walked into Blister Hill in Holy Nation and its COMPLETELY empty. Is this a bug? Is this a game mechanic? If its a bug how does one fix it? How prevalent is it? How does one avoid it happening?

thx.

it's still a bug
importing your game should fix it until the Devs track down what's causing it.

I just started a new game (because a few spiders expressed their total lack of manners by downing my squad close to a gang of raptors who expressed similar unpolished behaviour by eating them.... my squad, that is, they didn't seem to care much at all about the spiders), and both Squint and the Waystation were empty...

yes thank you. i had already confirmed that being the only workable solution. when we import what is the logic behind the squad reset option? will the respawn be in the same region or thereabouts? thats what it appeared like to me.

also, i see you everywhere on kenshi forums. you aren't a dev right?

squad reset dumps you in the middle of the map.
if it's not checked you will import where you last was.

and no i'm not a Dev, just a moderator who has been here for 5 plus years.
you will also find my nick in the game or Harmothoe. which i made and was allowed to have added to the game due to the work i do here plus being a backer.

New to this game and just found this bug too, first it was squin and then the hive town. Also, the drunk thugs at the bar suddenly never spawned again in my last 5+ restart. In some other, save I just can't see any dust bandit. Thought it was a game feature, until a moment ago when I load a save file, I found a settlement I built in a previous game near the Hub
Used to see bugs like freeze or ctd, but this really expands my imagination in a creative way, It is as if there were some ghosts among the codes. I like it, haha!

there is a new log file teh Devs created to try and track issues like this down
it's the save.txt found in the main Kenshi directory.

please file a bug report and include that zipped up file.

You can read the pinned topic How to report a crash/bug for more information on how to report bugs.

It was autosave and was already been overwritten. Sorry.

it's not a save file
its a log file. i know they could have named it a tad better lol

i cannot tell you
i do not work with them at their building. and i have no idea what they are actively working on.
i'm just sharing information one of the Devs recently posted on the lo-fi forums about a new log file they made to try and track down weird issues.

I saw you the other day, heading west into cannibal territory. Did you end up making it out? Not smart just the two of you, but maybe can handle yourself better than me. ;~)

Hamothoe is based off me playing solo runs. So most likely she survived.
