Beep is missing

[Carryonnaire]

My party has been to Mongrel few times already. Starting from first visit, I have not seen Beep around. He never did approach me, so it is unlikely that he tagged along and got eaten outside.
Importing game does not help.

Are you importing while in game, or are you importing right after game start up? Its always best to do it at game start up because doing an import while you have a game loaded is problematic and they should remove that option.

[Carryonnaire]

After start. I did not even know it is possible to do while running.

It's not uncommon for him to just be strangely hard to find. I've seen several reports just like this where the player found him on a subsequent visit.

You have to get really close to him to trigger his approach, so it's very possible to visit Mongrel and not encounter him if you don't scour the town looking for him. And if you visited multiple times without recruiting him, it's possible he died during one of the times the town was loaded. I've seen fogmen get pretty far into the town and attack civilians when all of the guards are occupied.

I'm not sure offhand which squad he initially belongs to in the FCS, but trying to find him there would be my next step after a thorough search of Mongrel.

You could try unchecking the import dead npc option while importing. If Beep show up, then that means he dead. It is possible to revive him using platoon file merge and other means, but that is beyond my ability.

[Carryonnaire]

Unchecked dead and imported. He himself found me instantly. So he must have died without me even knowing that.

I followed this topic https://steamcommunity.com/app/233860/discussions/3/2798377275391418237/
Inside imported save Beep is in Drifters_0
So I copied it inside my current save, but it did not work this way. What can I do with it next?
Main difference with last comment from that topic: Beep is the only member of his platoon, so I cannot use "find in which platoon are other members" method.

Ok there is a short guide here somewhere on the general forum iirc, it basically requires that you first make a new squad, put a single guy in that squad, save your game to a new slot, import that save, recruit Beep, put Beep into that previously mentioned new squad with a single guy, save the game into a new slot again, find that newly saved game platoon file, copy that squad with beep in it, and put it into the save before you do the import. I think you better find that original guide yourself, sorry I cannot be of more help. Maybe shidan knows where is that thread location.

[Carryonnaire]

Ah, I saw that guide. I thought it was about current members only and skipped it. So it can be applied this way then.

[bunny de fluff]

If you still cannot make it, write Shidan please help as post title and hopefully he will come and help . He most probably will.

I am watching the thread now btw. It looks like you should be good now though, so I wasn't saying anything. The merging thing should work fine. :)

[Carryonnaire]

It worked. I revived and own my personal Beep now.

[Carryonnaire]

I will leave the link to that guide here in case somebody else would need it.
