Aye, bumping this again to ask if it would be possible to turn off or on auto explore/NG+ levels in your player settings? Essentially since that seems to be where the issues are stemming from. I'd like an emergency solution that the player can use in case something like this happens again once it's fixed.

Posting it publicly so I have record: I'm going to send some wolves and food to my test account @testtest123 to try and see if I can get the error to pop up again and have more record of what exactly happened to cause it. I will not be doing anything else on the account unless evidence pops up to indicate that it might be relevant to the bug, just exploring and sending over wolves/companions for the exploration team and food for energy - wolves will be sent back to my main when I'm done.

I won't send any loot over to my main account - even though technically one could argue that since I'm locked out of campaign on my main account it's not even really multi-accounting since I'm just performing an activity I am bugged out of doing on my main - unless devs were to come in and explicitly tell me I can keep any loot I drop (since it kind of is just bug circumvention lol) I won't be doing so on principle of not wanting to break any multi-accounting rules while ultimately just trying to gather data to help fix a bug. Any wolves that end up leveled via exploring is unavoidable, sorry, since wolf levels aren't account-bound like companions it's just the way the cookie crumbles F
