A quick example of a bug report!

What/who bugged out?: Alpha Gurgler
Where did it happen?: Fishman Island, in a cage
What Happened?: Infinite dialogue loop. When offering a grand fish, the gurgler will say "Glurgh?" and get stuck in a loop of offering a fish and repeating.

Sup man great mod you have there, just wanted to ask if you have any plans on fixing that kidnapped tag that won't go away

It's very likely an engine related thing, but I'll see if I can figure a workaround via conditions & effects. Could you explain how to reproduce it real quick? (Found it in old thread, should be good. Will test some fixes later.)

managed to resolve, tks for the attention

What/who bugged out?:
Holy Nation members recruited.

Where did it happen?:
Inside Rebirth, and then again outside.

What Happened?:
Inside rebirth: captured Holy recruits make the sneak eye red for all other members. Holy nation outlaws attack on sight.

All HNO attack on sight, and the constant red eye during sneak makes things extra difficult lol.
I've already tried importing the game and reseting relations. Ive tried reloading current save. I have 5 Holy Nation members and it seems all of them are broken. What did I do wrong?? XD

Talking to NPCs I have in prisoner cages doesn't give me a dialogue tree to follow. I can't recruit anyone. I have this mod second to bottom of my load order and the NPCs I am trying to recruit is man hunter and black dragon ninja

@Barry Flatte What mods are you using?

What/who bugged out?: United Cities Samurai (I don't know exactly what it is because of a mod that gives them names)
Where did it happen?: Border zone, in cage
What Happened?: I can't talk to him, I didn't kidnap, I beat him up and it won't let me talk with him

What/who bugged out?: Alpha Gurgler
Where did it happen?: Northern Swamps
What Happened?: Infinite dialogue loop, all he says is some variation on "GLURG??" and get stuck in a loop of offering a Grand Fish or Thin Fish (but not Dried Thin Fish)

Edit: I solved it. I took him out of the cage and beat the plss out of him. I patched him up and put him back in, he was very happy to eat the damn fish after that.

What/who bugged out?:
The Skin Bandits

Where did it happen?:
I picked 5 of them up and returned to my base in the Hook.

What Happened?:
At first the Skin Bandits were only giving me one line reactions with no dialog options, but i resolved this by picking up all but 1 Skin Bandit, then I beat him and put him back into the cage and was able to recruit him with the correct dialog.

What mods are you using?:
I have 10 or so mods i would have to check them.

I cant recruit a dustboss his race is skellyman can anyone help

Buzan and Dimak

Outside of Squin, when building cages was allowed and not considered "too close to town."

I am not getting even the option for dialog with either of them.

They have no weapons, they are healing, and they have food in their inventories. The cages are my own cages that I built outside of Squin. I'm not getting an option to talk to them. It's just "lock/unlock, loot, put in/pick up." There is no chat option.

I want to do a playthough of a small band of ninjas and I really want Buzan and Dimak.

I have a mod that changes their stats and items but they are still the same characters so that shouldn't conflict with the mod right? Even when I remove that mod I still don't get speech bubbles when hovering over them.

If all else fails, does anyone know a way to forcibly add a unit into my squad? Can it be done with the F12 menu or something?

Any mod that changes a unit or unique may be enough to 'break' this mod.

f.e. I'm using a mod that adds in racial diversity adding in shek hungry bandits etc, but I can't recruit those, only the standard hungry bandits.

Southern HIve Princes are bugged for me I think.
In an older file I could recruit Southern Hive Drones and Warrior Drones, but not the Princes. I got them all from the only place Southern HIvers exist the zones name i can't remember. I tried releasing him, beating him up and all that but nothing worked unfortunately.
Only mods I have are the 265 Recruits, expanded economy and a shackle workbench mod.

Black dragon ninjas are bugged for me, they used to work perfectly but now i can't even talk to them, i take their weapons off and it used to work, now it doesn't
