Hey, couldn't find a quick answer skimming the pages, but I did recently manage to rescue four of my slavers from 2 stuck assignments with a bit of save editing in the HTML convert version. It is as janky as you expect given the entire save is just one giant block of text and I was pretty much poking around blindly. Such fun quirks include:
- Sometimes changing stuff will do nothing! Not that surprising, but annoying
- Sometimes changing nothing will do something! Sometimes an edited save will refuse to load, then it will load in with varying success, and then on a second successful load, it seems to stabilize and do whatever self-checks it needs to do. This also makes me think there's some kind of shared cache/variables that get carried somehow, but no idea.
- I can't make *more* new saves anymore? I am able to save over any old save slots, and it seems to work fine, but I haven't yet been able to create a new save slot. I can make new slots in a new game fine, but it will refuse to save even if I try to save to that new, presumably fully functional slot.
Probably some steps of the journey I forgot, but everything seems to load/function properly right now, they can be interacted with, sent on assignments, their stats seem accurate still, and all that good jazz.
If anyone else has a save with stuck slavers, I would appreciate hitting me with the .json so I can tinker around and see exactly if this is repeatable/effective.
But if anyone else wants to try and send it on their own, I'll attach a photo with what I tried to do. If anyone happens to know if an earlier solution was found for this, I'd appreciate a quote to it, or if anyone happens to read "wall of text save" better than I can and recognizes that doing this will blow up your game, I'd also appreciate a heads up.
