kerbals ins lost tab don't respawn (lost tab shows 0 missing)

[hobbez]

Lost tab shows missing kerbals but claims 0 are missing. Also i can't delete them or remove them. They haven't respawned in quite some time, and last time this happened it ended up crashing my save game permanently.

How do i fix this? I would rather save this game.

I believe you have permadeath turned on in the game difficulty settings. Hence the KIA. Otherwise they would be marked MIA.

I don't know. This is a science mode save with "respawn dead kerbals" checked on. Several of my other kerbals died and came back. I had this same exact problem when my previous save crashed.

Seems like a bug then.

Theory: You have another game where its turned on, switching between saves breaks it?

Theory: You changed the settings midgame? Perhaps before they died and then back afterwards?

Anyway, only workaround would be to edit the save game. Change their status to available.

Have you checked in the debug menu whether "Respawn Dead Kerbals" is on or off? It might have turned off for some reason.

I would tend to agree, that perhaps the setting is not where you thought it was when you started (or that maybe it was, and changed for some reason).

I can't exactly remember which all settings you can change on the fly (once a game is started), but you can make a copy of your persistence.sfs file, then edit it.

First, look for this section:

		DIFFICULTY
		{
			AutoHireCrews = True
			MissingCrewsRespawn = True
			BypassEntryPurchaseAfterResearch = True
			AllowStockVessels = True
			IndestructibleFacilities = False
		}

If "MissingCrewsRespawn" says "False" then change it.

Also, you can go down to the end of the file (where the "Crew" section is).

Look for the following:

		KERBAL
		{
			name = Jebediah Kerman
			type = Crew
			brave = 0.5
			dumb = 0.5
			badS = True
			state = Available
			ToD = 0
			idx = 0
			CAREER_LOG
			{
				flight = 1
				0 = Recover
			}
			FLIGHT_LOG
			{
				flight = 1
			}
		}

For "state = Dead" change it to "state = Available"
