Summary0028199: Locked out of progress after hitting Investigate
DescriptionUnsure if this has been reported already or not (Or if I'm doing this right.)

When trying to hit investigate on any unit while on the Finding Water, Finding Food mission, i get this error every time, essentially locking me out of progressing any further. If you need anymore info on this let me know, first time doing this kind of thing.

Try updating to the newest version and see if that fixes it. Chris did some repairs to investigating that sound similar to this.

Managed to narrow it down to a bug when a unit that is investigating dies it will cause this loop.

If you allow the unit to die, and then select another to do an investigation, it will bug out and cause the error above

Confirmed you are on the latest version, and this style of the bug is a bit different from what I saw earlier today.

This seems like the same kind of bug I am encountering. I had my first couple units die and then was able to succeed a few times. Once I built a few of the structures, I attempted to investigate again and I get the same error. Compared the error from the attached logs and it is the same. Please let me know if you want my save file as well

Thanks!

* Added in a ton more hardening of the code around investigations and abilities. I can't duplicate the current exception being reported, but based on the provided stack traces, this should hopefully solve it.
