Porter zombie disappeared

[storm2150]

Well, I decided to make a woodcutter zombie + porter zobmie to bring the wood. First it worked fine, but then the porter zombie stopped bringing logs to my house and I can't find him anywhere.

Is it a bug, or those bats near the apiary killed my zombie? If so, do I have to build the whole lantern network to make my zombie routes safe?

Maybe? I haven't touched the lantern network yet so I don't know the whole mechanics behind that.

Well, it turned out to be on stand by mode inside the transportation station. It blended in so "naturally" that I coudn;t distinguish my zombie inside. And no, bats do not attack zombies -- I followed my minion for the purpose of finding this out.

But still I do not know, why is there this lantern network and different tiers of lanterns. Sure, light wards off bats, but they inhabit only the first portion of the tract, which can be covered by two lanterns. While the network consits of a dozen of them

I had something else happen. I think I was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around with the checkmarks of what it could carry while it was going in or out of its station, and it made it disappear. It wouldn't let me add any other zombie to it either, but removing the station made the zombie that disappeared show back up, laying on the ground in front of where the station used to be. If that happens to anyone else, at least now you know how to make it reappear.

gonna necro this a bit, but how did you remove the station? My zombie porter has also just vanished.

Remove building, I think, but if it's about the tree camp, I'm curious too.

This is the second time this week my ancient post is being necro'ed. Have the devs just launched a new update or this is just a coincidence?

Anyways, I too much time has passed and my memories are of no help anymore.

Some context? - which porter, have you followed it's path to make sure, are there any abnormalities, etc.

Jumping in on the necro bandwagon here - My sawmill porter zombie is also MIA.
Has anyone figured this out yet?

*edit* Save and reloading has returned my zombie to his normal routine. 👍

I've been playing this game all weekend ... I get this is old ... but I've been playing and saving several times ... still my sawmill zombie porter is missing ... is there a way to delete the sawmill and re-build? and therefore re-issue instructions to a new zombie? does anyone have other suggestions for getting their zombie back? thanks for any help!
