Endless bugged rescue missions

[idlesn0w]

I'm on day 120, and have been getting lots of rescue missions for the last ~50 days. However, all of them have the same bug. I get to the mission, and kill the guard, but there's never anyone inside. Nobody ever comes back, it's just replaced with a new rescue mission as soon as I scan for transmissions. I have everything in my base fully upgraded, with plenty of resources, but I can't get any missions other than these bugged rescue missions anymore.

I can't even pay the guard the 50 rations, 50 water, and 20 petrol that he demands, because all rations in my party inventory disappear as soon as I get to him, so I no longer can give them to him. Even if I kill him, my rations still disappear.

I think this bug could be caused by something that happened around that time. One of my recruits disappeared in a "You handle this" moment, and I sent a few more recruits out to rescue them. I had them fight the guard, but they missed every shot, and the guard killed them both. I think the guard killing them is what might have caused this, but I'm not sure. Either way, the endless rescue missions mean I can't get the Extended Family mission, so I'm stuck and unable to progress until I can find a fix.

If anyone has any idea how to fix this, please let me know.

Ouch. That sure is a bad bug.

I havent had anyone die yet, so I have never encountered this.

The best I can offer you are the following options

1) restart a new game, but hold on to your current savegame so the devs can look at it (easiest and fastest option)
2) send me your savegame. I will copy all your setup to a new game. You will have everyone back in shelter with all their current stats, and you have everything you had and had built in the same location but you will be back at Day 1 (my offer to temporary resolve your problem so that you can continue your game)
3) wait for the devs to fix your savegame (who knows how long they will take)

In all cases, hang on to your savegame and do not overwrite or delete it.

Thanks for the offer! To be honest the main reason this is annoying is because the game has gotten way too easy. I heard that the Extended Family quest increases the difficulty each time you move, so that's what I was looking forward to. I currently have just about everything fully upgraded, with more supplies than I could ever use. This is my first run in a while, so I just started on normal difficulty. Rather than restart on day 1 with a huge advantage, I think I'll just restart on a higher difficulty and go from there.

Hopefully the devs will reply so I can send them my savegame to prevent this from happening to anyone else. Thanks again for the help though!

The difficulty increases until you save and quit the game. Currently there is a bug where the difficulty resets back to the equivalent of the first shelter after you save and quit the game.
