Started fairly succesfull game and managed to recruit 3 npcs but after i left them on guard duty becuse of several alone jobs i have to do they vanished in thin air and dont show in base at all except on map in certain times.

as seen they are in mansion which serves in my base.their names are not diplayed when hovering over pink [simbols.name](http://simbols.name) of newly recruited npc is dipslayed correctly

when i close up to manion they vanish from overmap and dont show on map

any way of returning them from void?  
this isnt first time i encountred this bug but is mostly related to leaving them in vehicles.

Happened to me now too, but this npc was not on guard duty and not near any vehicle. Just poof; gone. Green @ on map.

Yeah, same here. Random quest npc walked away. And went poof. Still on map, and still in the debug list. No idea what causes it.
