Summary	0012168: Update on Bug 0012034
Description	Dear Sir/Madam, I seem unable to log in and make a note on the issue above, that I reported on Discord, but I've done some further testing since and I'd like to inform you of what I've found. There are two overlapping issues at play here; the first is that fatalities on a mission are not removed from the Squad, and so seem to be stuck "travelling". You can see they're actually dead by looking in the Mission Report if one is generated, or by opening Legends and searching for the individual Dwarf. The rest of the Squad however will return during normal travelling times, ie if the mission was a day away, a further day will see the survivors return to the map. The second issue seems to lock the Squad out Travelling permanently, at least until the mission is cancelled. I cannot tell at what point the bug strikes, as no report is generated, and Legends only lists the issue around Early/Mid/Late Season, but the problem is that many of the Squad are assigned to a random location/civilization; if you find them in Legends it will say "So and so settled in X". I've attached a save, "Missing Maybe", which has both issues active; [https://res.cdn.office.net/assets/mail/file-icon/png/zip_16x16.png]Missing Maybe.zip<https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ao2BCuNKrsxDxXCIVGq13Pt6zyuT> Of the 4 squads, "The Knives of Weakness" and Silverhammers have just completed a mission and returned ok. "The Mischievous Picks" have got stuck with the second bug, the entire squad bar for leader Erith Fikod... have been forcibly settled somewhere else. Starting from the save date of 21st of Malachite, the squad will stay out until you select them and cancel the mission. Looking in Legends from this save directly (IE, at the 21st of Malachite) there is no current information for where they are or what they're doing. Their target, Bentdungeons is half a day away, but they take weeks or months to return, at which point a Legends entry is generated for those who have been resettled somewhere else. I waited 2 months when testing the above save and they didn't return yet, so the game thinks they're far, far away? But using a previously made save, as below, you can see Eirth Fikod... is back, and going to Legends now shows them resettled.

You can also see his death in Legends. I'd also question the marking of it as "Severity: Minor" as it completely breaks the mission system as you lose entire squads at once. Hope this proves useful in tracking down the bugs! Ian --- Ian Hodgkinson <i_hodgkinson@hotmail.com>
