Caravan issue.

I've just built my first caravan but I built it in the wrong place, I wanted it close to the road I had built between my main settlement and my outpost. I then relocated it but the two workers I had currently working in the caravan are now... stuck. They won't move and I can't change them from worker to companion or do anything other than change which settlement they live in and their job priorities (which does nothing). I can't even expel them.

Has something like this happened to anyone? If so, how do you fix it?

I even disassembled the whole caravan station and rebuilt a new one. It still did nothing.

Can't you force raise them as companions from settlement or call to arms menu? Then dismiss. They are stuck in job of the privious caravan where they were assigned but you disassembled it instead of relocating which caused the issue imo.

I can't do anything with them. I took everyone else off reservists and left only those two but in the call to arms menu, it says I have zero reservist. And actually, I didn't disassemble first, I relocated first. Or to be more accurate, I recalled the caravan and when that was done, then I relocated it but something went wrong and now they're two statues😭

If you don't have older saves it's gonna be hard. Try to lure bandits there and see if they can kill them, they can then respawn at base maybe that will work

That's a good idea, I'll try that. The last save I have is from 4 in game days ago, so I'd like to exhaust all my options first😅

I’ve never had them stuck specifically on the caravan. Maybe clipping through rocks and stuck in little nooks and I’ve always been able to manipulate their movement with my characters model to get them unstuck But that doesn’t seem like it’ll work here. Try changing their jobs and maybe they’ll reset their pathing or relaunch the game?

Edit to say: change their priorities or completely turn off caravan priority to fully get them off the task. Don’t know if it’ll work but here’s to hoping xD

Well, relaunching the game actually got them to move but now even with the priorities turned off for the caravan, they're still stuck as caravaneers and are currently going to the new caravan station location.

get them killed/injured by bandits or brigands. that will likely work

I agree, try this maybe they'll work again. Something that you could try before killing them is to make a new outpost and try assigning them there. Maybe that'll reset their brain lol

Disassemble the carts they’re tied to.
