Summary0008992: Wild Garden Age NPCs (Draconites) cannot be rescued from Ocean tiles.
DescriptionOn my 1.2 MP server, when I place a Seek Survivor mission near a non-turbulent Ocean tile, I do not receive a Seek Survivor mission on the adjacent Ocean tile. I also cannot place a Seek Survivor mission directly on the Ocean tile because it's "hostile" (despite being non-turbulent). I even tried playing a Buoy, but nope. When placing Seek Survivor missions on any other type of Ocean tile (Shallows, Deep Sea Port), I get a Time of Magic NPC rescue mission instead of Wild Garden Age.

However, on my list of unlockables to pursue, "Unlock Wild Garden Age NPC" is listed, despite me not unlocking Lava Flats yet.

So either Oceans should allow Seek Survivor missions, or "Ocean" should be removed from the listed Unlockable type for Wild Garden Age NPCs.

Oh, so it is a bug? I thought the RNG hated me. I was combing through the new sunken UFOs and caves looking to rescue someone..

Actually I hadn't considered looking for them in Ocean caves and the new buildings as, overall, Rescue Survivor missions have been very rare for me (I've found maybe 50 Secret Missions in caves and buildings and 1 of them was a Rescue Survivor, but I also have 0000032:0000020 NPCs on this continent). Has anyone found a Rescue Survivor mission in the Ocean? (the regular "Ocean" tile), especially on the 1st continent?

I've tried searching for survivors in the ocean but eventually get too frustrated to bother searching any longer. I've tried to use the scrolls near ocean territory and just figured there was some rule against those missions appearing on ocean tiles.

If it's possible to rescue these NPCs from oceans, it would make sense for the scroll to work on these tiles as well.
