[0.90.1~3]Can't build anything since import from old save

[Asweat]

So...I import my squad from my old save.....found out that I got nothing in my building categories...
please help

[bwc153]

I can confirm this bug. Started a new game with new character and can build buildings, but if I import my squad from previous versions I can not.

[Hatsune_Neko]

yes
this is still ongoing even in patch 0.90.4

[Azumazi]

Oh, thank god it wasn't just me. Got so bad I went into the towns like Bad Teeth to look for building plans to see if they just all got removed or something.

[Hatsune_Neko]

i have a squad of 25
i cant build after importing them
so yep
your not alone.

[Eridhan]

HI, Same for me, my squad of 26 can't build anything, You are not alone, but I think (hope) the devs fix that in update this week.

[Chompster]

yup, same issue here. Everyones starving...

[swillo]

Yup only on the imported game thought.
Started an new game and had all the basics including building a camp.
But imported that game to 90.4 without checking the research box and was in the same boat as importing older games, no options to build.
Imported the same save with the research box checked and had all the options.

I also have this problem, but after reaching a town and finding that the vendors had no building blueprints i figured it must be a bug.

[Black Paint]

Dealing with this as well.

[Hannarr]

as of 0.90.6 i still can't build anything.

[Azumazi]

Would it be possible till he can find a permanent solution to put in a vendor in a town with the starting buildings in a bundle like the old "Learn how to Farm" book for a cost of 1 to give imported games the base production buildings?

Seems like the best way to go until he can figure out whats causing the old game imports to remove all research.

I have the same issue.

I cant put a check in the import research box either

[Hannarr]

I have the same issue.

I cant put a check in the import research box either

It doesn't make a difference. I've imported doing both, same problem.

[Cayrid]

Same thing here. From what I tested, importing a game without importing research seems to clear even the basic thing that you can build. I simply tried a new game and saved, then tried to import the game without the research and resulted in having nothing to build. I imported again from the new game with the research and all seemed to work fine.

Now if you have already imported a game and have lost the research, well, you're screwed for the moment. A good work around would be, as said earlier, to have the basic research available in shops.

[Cayrid]

Or this...

Hey so if you're having this problem i just figured out a work around until they fix it.

Step 1: start a new game and just go, who cares what the character looks like - you're about to overwrite them. Save the game and exit Kenshi.

Step 2: Navigate to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Kenshi\save/(save you wish to import)
Copy Nameless_#.platoon file

Step 3: Navigate to the new the game save you just made. And paste the platoon files.

NOTE: I did with with only one platoon. I think if your create more platoons on the new game save before exiting to import you can import everyone. However if for example in my case, i copied only one platoon file over named

Nameless_4.platoon

However in my new game a platoon 4 slot was never even created so on first attempt my characters didn't import. I renamed my Nameless_4 to Nameless_1 and it works. my characters are there and i can build/research with my old peeps.

Keep in mind i did not test this with more than one platoon yet. Also i do not know of a way to import buildings and money so you will lose everything not on a character by using this method of importing until they fix the bug. Its not perfect but its a work around.

Will try it later...

*EDIT*

It works but you will have the starting money of the save game you import on (meaning 0 on Rock bottom). You also lose your buildings if you had bought any. Those built should also be lost but I can't confirm...

times like this i really wish the save format was plaintext or easily editable.

[Cayrid]

Listed as fixed in 90.7...have fun!

[Eridhan]

Cool super fast fix! i Enjoy Thanks
