Try delete VFE tribals. Helped for me when i looked in game logs for exact same issue.

Well.
Aside from the outstandingly obvious issues involving uninstalling the VFE Tribals mod from a on-running save; Such as pawns being stripped nude, buildings being missing, and Ideology rituals being missing.

The issue still prevails.

It would appear that VFE_Tribals is now missing from the third error line, But the exact same error is present: The Anomaly DLC fails to communicate properly with VFE Ancients about what pawns it should use for the Distress Call Fleshbeasts event site ... And how it should go about simulating them being murdered by fleshbeasts before I actually arrive and spawn on the map... which fails to generate and thus boots my caravan out of the empty space and back onto the planet viewer. (From what I have read; I guess.)

Edit: I will also mention that I will be re-adding VFE-Tribals, So the initial error log should still be 'up to date'

Removing VFE_Ancients with the intent of doing the distress call event and then reloading the mod afterwards doesnt really work.

The game softlocks when it tries to load the planet for any reason. Forcing an ALT+F4.

And it still doesnt generate a map when the caravan arrives; The caravan immediately becomes idle after it prints these two errors.


Then I saw 'Better Loading' so... Disabled that mod and re-enabled the Ancients mod since disabling VFE_Ancients invited another worse error.

Same error as the initial one that conflicts with Anomaly. Except the last one is shortened:

I will second this bug. I'm having near identical issues.

yeah, I've been having this bug as well and I've narrowed it down to the fact that the ancient soldiers faction has no pawngroupmarker for settlement pawns since it was never intended for their hidden faction base to ever be attacked

I've played around with the Faction defs and fixed it by adding,

<li>
<!-- settlement pawns, just for anomaly -->
<kindDef>Settlement</kindDef>
<options>
<VFEA_AncientSoldierOneAbility>5</VFEA_AncientSoldierOneAbility>
<VFEA_AncientSoldierTwoAbilities>5</VFEA_AncientSoldierTwoAbilities>
</options>
</li>

in the Faction_Hidden.xml

What part do you add this to? Do you just tag it onto the bottom? or do you edit a specific line? Thanks in advance! :D

Ah right i forgot to include this aswell

<maxPawnCostPerTotalPointsCurve>
<points>
<li>(0,35)</li>
<li>(70, 50)</li>
<li>(700, 100)</li>
<li>(1300, 150)</li>
<li>(100000, 10000)</li>
</points>
</maxPawnCostPerTotalPointsCurve>

ill get a screen shot of what it should look like, though with these changes ya might start getting ancient soldiers as part of the possible raid types after, but it's worth being attacked by them anyways since they spice up the combat.

Nice was working on it aswell.

If ya using VAE - Accessories, know that belts such as the Explosive/Resurrection currently cause a map loading issue when ya arrive at the Distress signal, the dead pawn spawns with it and in the middle of it still trying to load the map the belt explodes/tries to resurrect on a NULL MAP which mean it attempted to activate on a still loading map, causing it to do what VFE - Ancients did and closes the quest marker. No current fix is done at the moment so it's basically a dice roll whether the bug occurs.

Seems i am getting different errors now regarding to quest generation. are you running it flawless?

hm, dunno ill have to look into it, i've mostly been using dev mode to generate 10 of the distress signal quests for debugging purposes and haven't ran into anything else regarding them other than the Occasional VAE - Accessories error, ill check some other quests to see if there's any issues

Just checked the quest generation for the sealed vault with and without the anomaly patch.

Could not resolve site parts.

It fails to generate the sealed vault and the quest for it. Only the looted vaults spawn, with and without my patch
