He's the cook so he should make his way to the dining area regularly.
They all path on the stairs.

One NPC got stuck in the room you found them in.

I'm fairly sure their positions will reset to unstuck positions, if that's the case, after the player unloads the tile by exiting the HQ and or Reloading game.

Hmm. sounds odd.

There's dev commands listed as "For Fixing NPCs". I don't know of anyone requiring it and TBH I don't know if it works or what it does to "Fix" them.

/fixnpc

Your own risk. Sorry, I don't know if there's anything else you'd need to add and as mentioned it's only something I've noted in the commands list. I'm not a Dev just a geek. Lol.

Maybe stand in front of an NPC and type it in chat see if the NPC vanishes before your eyes.
Be aware though this should be plan Z plan A would be to track down a DEV and verify. :)

A knowledgeable geek is always good. Your taking the time to answer my question and thinking about it is as valuable as the solution. I will try the command, I hope it will be a solution. I will answer positively or negatively. If I can't find a solution, let the developer hunt begin, thank you for your help 😁

Not a problem would be good to know any resulting outcome to add to my knowledge of mod / dev commands and how they work.

Not only to spread the knowledge but also an OCD nature resembling that of the 1986's film.
Short Circuit starring Johnny 5 and his iconic catchphrase of "Need input".!

Of any idea feedback really as I've finished watching YouTube, read Facebook and find myself referring to myself as a self aware help robot from the 80's in a steam forum. Lol.

This input would cause my level of geekmanship to out-nerd any other geek within a 5 comment thread radius therefore increasing my ability in aiding game users with Crashlander & S.M. Help 1000% better than Clippy with a joystick controller.

:)

lol. I don't know the movie very well, but I agree with the help.
By the way, I tried the /fixnpc command. Mark and Ivan just stood. They did not disappear. Justin is still not around. After the command, I get the "Uninteracted with all npc" warning on the screen.

I think Mark Ivan Bill and Justin are not affected by this command. Unfortunately, my problem was not solved, so I continue to try. let see how is it going to be. At worst I'll start over again.

Forums and workshops are a great place for people to help each other. No AI or robot has this ability yet. Good thing there are relevant geeks.

I doubt this very much but there's a massive hollow under the HQ.
If you lift glitch under ground close to the HQ wall outside you MIGHT find him trying to path his way out of this hollow..

Take a spare seat with you if you do decide to venture under as it's an odd place I almost got very stuck in an invisible wall but got out eventually by using a seat I had on me.

I actually doubt the NPC's even exist if you aren't teleported into the HQ. But the underground adventure is an experience + You never know.

Something I forgot to check was the ability to place soil plots under there.
I think the HQ Would be off limits while anything is placed in the hollow usually reserved for the basement area when it's spawned in, so watch out for that..

I doubt soil plots will mix well with a teleported in HQ basement so I'd gather any belongings up before re-entering the HQ doorway.

The Uninteracted with all npc thing you mentioned actually seems likely to be a fix for NPC dialog being stuck on screen.?

Only a guess but I remember someone having that problem after their multiplayer game crashed mid NPC sentence.

Dude, I haven't had time for a while. Finally I found Justin. He was waiting on a piece of stone outside the building at the level of the stairs. thank you for everything. my problem is solved

What.. LOL. How, why, WHAT.! Lol.

From what I read in the code there's certain paths they take, He must've glitched a wall and fell out somehow.

I did start looking at the commands for pathing
/goto *NPC* or /spawn *NPC* /findPathto Player /stalk player but various issues I could either see being a miss or didn't know how to fill in particular text field variable stuff..
/bored /work /idle /teleport /follow to mention a few..

I wouldn't try them.

Can you imagine not knowing how to stop an NPC From following you / stalking you. Lol, especially with their newest trait of stopping and staring directly at you.


But your problem certainly helped me find these interesting options to look at later.

Cheers glad it was semi resolved.
