Patrol that outpost!

Description
Within a couple of days after starting your outpost (or doing a import with a outpost) you will get a "Patrol Squads on the way" alert and the game will add 2 empty squads with modified AI to your game.

Any unit you add to one of these squads will start patrolling your outpost whenever they do not have a active job or order.

I recommend changing the names of the squads to prevent confusion. If you delete one of the 2 squads by choice or by accident the mod will recreate it after a couple of days.

FAQ

Is it possible to have units patrol in a group?
Yes, have your units bodyguard/follow a unit who is on patrol.

Do the patrol AI remain after a import?
Not at the moment, the squad will lose its patrol AI after the import. The mod however should spawn new squads to that do work.

Can I have several squads patrol several different outposts?]
*edited* I have currently limited the mod to two squads as it would otherwise endlessly spawn empty squads (100+ in test run) en crash your game. Delete 1 squad and the event will respawn after a couple of days.

I no longer want my soldiers to patrol that outpost, can I remove the patrol AI from the squad?
Move your soldiers to a normal squad.

Can I use the patrol town AI for training my troops?
Yes, strength and athletics can be trained while on patrol. Stealth can also be trained if there are npc around.

I'm at my squad limit, will this mod still work?
Yes, these special squads do not count toward your squad limit.

UPDATE1
East of the Hub at the Ruined Holy Outpost I added a unique Skeleton NPC called: Broken Patrolbot.

He is essential for the campaign that spawns the patrol squads. Kill/Imprison him if you want to prevent the mod from spawning any more patrol squads.

That explains the random squads I get upon importing...

They are not a physical squad. Check your squad list, you should have new empty squad entries, those are the ones with AI.

I have had them say they've arrived and there's no one there. What do?

just came here to ask why my squads stop spawning but I guess I killed that broken patrolbot, ah well. thanks for adding more features to this game, have used this mod for years and its kinda buggy but does exactly what it says.

Can confirm it still works, but note; Whether it's my dozens of mods and something is conflicting, but when you get the Squad, your people or animals assigned to it will not begin to patrol. For some reason, you have to restart your game, then it works correctly.

Can confirm works. Took 1-3 days before it arrived. Playing with genesis mod as well.

Does this mod still work?

Question, does the patrols actually go get food on their own inside the outpost?

I love this mod and I have some tips for the commenters below.
-To move patrols to a new outpost: remove char from squads, remove squads, import in new outpost, wait for new squads.
-If you don’t want your people to sit instead of patrol: 1) don’t have places to sit 2)have less places to sit than you have people patrolling so they take turns sitting down whenever someone gets up to eat or attack 3) when characters are in the squad and you have places to sit, they will patrol as long as you have them selected
-you can use this mod with the other “Player AI” squad mods by stilldoll (I use wandering trader)
