Caravan Bug
So - I went ahead with 3 people to clear an Ancient Tomb Quest (5 Tombs in total) and Send one Colonist after them - to Restock food as I didn't expect it to last this long. I continued with all 4 of them - problem arose though.

A second caravon formed in the form of the colonist I send after the first caravan. Alone - nobody inside it - no items - food etc.

I can't move it I can't settle it. Error. Even If I wanted to settle - it's too close to an allied settlement and the political impact would be a little to much to handle as I never experimented with this mechanic.

Can anyone help me out - I tried to restart the game - reload. What's worse is that the UI is flickering non stop. Giving me a little headache.

Edit: To make matters worse - my Colonist hotbar disappeared.

Edit2: Caravan Returned home - The Colonist Hotbar is back - though are 2 Bugged Caravans on the Worldmap now.... Sigh...

Turn on dev mode and select the bugged caravans, there are a few options to deal with them. You can send them instantly to your colony, that usually works to clear them, or you can merge them into a real caravan.

I think Giddy-Up is the usual cause of that phantom caravan issue, but there are probably other causes as well.

I tried to merge them but it was grayed out.
But thank you - Dev mode helped. I never used it before. Now I know why. That's just cheating on a new level. And helping with annoying glitches.

I'm not aware of any current bugs with the caravan system in the unmodded game. There was an issue with prisoners on caravans "escaping" for one version, but that has been fixed. If you are running into "so many" bugs with it and aren't playing with mods, then you might want to try a clean reinstall of the game in case you have file corruption or something.
