Looking to see if anyone found a solution. I tried to start an expedition on Bungle Wasteland and my helicopter is stuck on the ground with 2 janitors stuck  inside. I can't demolish the helicopter pad, tried restarting and redownloading the whole game but the bug is still there. I can't progress in the level because the expedition was for supplies and I can't send another helicopter to that destination. I really don't want to restart the whole game again. TIA 😊

I have the same problem. Two of my staff members seem to have disappeared. I can see them in the list, but they are invisible and I cannot fire them, pick them up, etc. Their status is "leaving: expedition". The helicopter is locked and I cannot abort the mission or delete the helicopter. If I delete the entire museum, the helicopter remains. This is a huge issue, because now I can't visit the location anymore and cannot progress. However, I have no way of restarting either.

Just expand the building, that the helicopter pad will destroy. Destory and rebuild it. (And maybe fire the empolyee to be save)

Hi All,


Apologies that you're experiencing this bug! 


The workaround currently is to force the helicopter back into you inventory. You can do this by using the "Drag Demolish" tool located in the Foundations menu, or by extending you main building over the top of it. This should free everyone up. 


We're looking into the issue, but if anyone else would like to add their experience and upload saves for us, please do so here.


Thanks for your patience,


Chizel

Appreciate the response! The demolish tool doesn't work for me. I even tried deleting the entire museum. 


Firing the employee doesn't work either because the employee seems invisible, meaning that only the name is listed but the figure doesn't show and the menu to fire/pick up/etc. doesn't show either.

Same, I think I got into this situation by firing one on his way to an expedition. Neither suggestion worked for me.

Its the bottom helicopter if that makes any difference.

I had this same issue but I found a workaround.


Workaround - Within 'Rooms' place the 'Building' on top of the Helipad and place a side entrance.


This will allow you to sell the invalid item which is the helipad. Hope this helps people

This doesnt work for me :(. Only works for the helicopter closer to the building (not the one i used). Is there any other suggestions to fix this?

You can construct a new 'Building'; it doesn't have to be an existing one. I created a new 5x5 building and then placed it on top of the heliport.

Has there been any update to this issue? Both helicopters are stuck. None of the prior suggested methods unstick them. It's made my campaign mode unplayable.

I'm having the same problem. I'm able to delete the helicopter by doing the Drag Demolish, but every time I try to go on an expedition to Swallow Hollow, it just bugs again. But it is taking my money to fund the expedition so I'm just losing money at this point and not getting anywhere. Quite disappointing as now I can't progress my Bone Map :(

I also have this problem. I fixed the helicopters but i have 6 members of staff who are glitched and I can't do anything with them.

So I ran into this issue, fixed it but then the next Helicopter Port/Area was $300/k instead of the extra $100/k. So like it thought I still had #2 but was charging me for #3 bc I had to delete the #2 and am trying to replace it bc of this bug.

Hey

Another one with thr bug. I can build over as it’s not accepting it as a valid option to complete the build. 

I can’t pick it up sell it or cancel the expedition
