[0.60.0] Traders Guild Escort Mission "Cat Exploit"

[PnzrNorm]

Currently, I have 2 traders and their caravans stuck outside my town.

Talking with either of the traders will give you the option to escort them to the next town for 1k c.

Upon accepting this Mission, it will immediately complete and give you 2k c. with a 100% reproduce rate.

Restarting Kenshi, rebuilding the NavMesh, and re-loading the save do not fix this issue.

Refer to the save file attached to my previous bug post here:

UPDATE: For thoroughness sake, it should also be mentioned that this issue can be infinitely repeatable. The mission immediately completes while within a town's "borders", and it allows the mission to be taken again from the exact same trader.

This is another bug that from v0.50 that still has yet to be fixed.

Issues still occurs in 0.59.1.

Updated title accordingly.

Updating this thread instead of editing since I have new information to add to it.

So long as the trade caravan is within the "borders" of a city or outpost, the mission will autocomplete, thus giving the incorrect reward of 2000 c.

If you accept this mission while outside of the "borders" of a city, it will properly display in the Diplomacy screen as well as on the Faction tab when one of their members is selected under the Missions list as "Escort mission to <insert city name>", and the mission will be successfully completed when the caravan enters the "borders" of a city.

I found a not so deadly but easy exploitable bug in kenshi involving the trader escorts. Basically they kept giving me gold after the first escort when I asked for another job I'll post steps I did to see if anyone can re-create it or if it was just me.

1, Take escort job from Trader.

2, Escort to the town.

3, get gold ask for another Job.

4, Apparently get gold for doing nothing at all after accepting new job.

5, Did multiple times until they bought items and were moving to next town.

Not truly a game breaking glitch but all the same it could make the game a little too easy if other people found out about it untill it was fixed.

I did search nothing came up for it that's why I posted this many pardons though.

Man, it's been a while since I've been on these forums! I hope everyone's doing well

Okay, so I recently started playing Kenshi again I ran into a very peculiar exploit. If you run into a travelling trader that gives you the job to escort him to the next town while they're in a town, you automatically finish the job! The thing about this though is that I was able to pick up the job again and complete it again instantly. So I was able to earn more than 200,000 cats in just a few minutes.

Not sure if this was intentional to allow people to earn money so that they can bug test the game, but I thought I would bring it to attention!
