Dissertation and Pest missions not working

[Harper117]

Yes, I spelt desertion wrong in title. It seems as though HQ no longer automatically resolves desertion or pest events. And when I try to start a mission for them to take of it, the blue person you build in WS is there for a second and then goes away. Nothing happens for the administration or security bars and it looks as though it never happens. I’ve waited several days and it is not resolved. The problem seemed to start when I had 3 deserters all at once and 2 of them were from the 3 total I had in administration. They were never retrieved (as that was happening fine before this moment) and I have not been able to make HQ events/missions fire since then. I’ve resolved 2 of the 3 desertions myself and am hoping something happens when I resolve the last one. I’m curious if a script went off that would normally cause the administration division to automatically retrieve them but since all but one of the administration team deserted, something broke that has not yet resolved itself. Will comment if anything changes but if someone has run into this issue already, please let me know!

If you only had one administration person left, my guess would be that you didn't have the department "energy" required to retrieve the other deserters.

True. However, when I assigned more people to administration and had more than enough energy, the events that I described above still happened. Same with security

I am thinking that maybe because you didn't have enough when the desertion occurred, it won't send them now. Maybe it missed the trigger?

That’s what I was thinking but the weird problem is now it won’t trigger if I use workshop mode and actually try to do it manually. It’ll make the building sound and appear for a couple seconds then disappear and nothing happens
