Townies wandering off

[Danzigsam]

So I had a couple civilians show up at my town. They just showed up there and did "Protect Allies" for a while. I got kind of attached to them.

Then a bunch more civilians (10 maybe), a barman, and a plastic surgeon showed up. They walked straight up to my two buddies in a line, then they all turned around and left. "Staying Home."

I live nowhere near a town, btw.

Doh! Why didn't I try selling stuff to that barman? I have a bunch of Dust Bandit junk lying around.

In my game I have a similar problem. Except it's merchants that leave their stores and wander off into the waste with their guards leaving their shops unattended. I'll arrive in new towns and find that the stores have been completely deserted of NPCs. I think this is abnormal behavior.

[Danzigsam]

Yeah, I get that too. Sometimes the counter works anyway, sometimes not.

I've noticed this as well, hat merchants, Mr Floppy, and a variety of others that have no reason to be standing around outside of town aimless taking up residence outside the towns walls. It's likely an AI issue that will hopefully addressed soon, until it is I guess the cannibals will just have some easy snacks hanging out in various odd locations.

Funny enough that only catty traders do this, outpost traders (when they were present) they used to go out fight and back in once finished, guess they had different "writings" despite the same jobs.
